I applied online. I interviewed at Flatiron Health
Interview
Interviewed via skype and was probably the most difficult recruiting interview I've ever had. The person I spoke to asked very specific questions ranging from recruiting process (reasonable question) to who I felt were Flatiron's main competitors in the area (How would I know that before working for them?). Interview was long and there were many difficult questions that went beyond actually recruiting expertise. Unsurprisingly, I did not receive a followup but I doubt it is would be a team I would want to work on regardless.
- 2:2 interviews with folks throughout Recruitment/People Ops and Engineering
- probably one of the least humane interviews I've ever been on - each pair of interviewers
waltzed in with their Macbooks and proceeded to type away whenever I answered a question, rarely making eye contact throughout the process. Came across as cold and calculated.
- pretentious - they love to throw around the fact that they were backed by Google Ventures and to talk about their involvement with Roche.
Consensus - the mission behind Flatiron Health is wonderfully altruistic. I've met people that worked there in the past across Engineering and Data Science who clearly embodied that mission who were kind and thoughtful. Hoping that my experience was just with a few bad apples lacking EQ.
I applied online. I interviewed at Flatiron Health (New York, NY) in Sep 2016
Interview
The interview process started with an initial introductory phone interview with the recruiting manager. After, was an hour on-site interview where I met a senior recruiter and a recruiting manager. The final round interview was ~4 hours meeting with Flatiron employees that were in operations, engineering, and recruiting. Even met the CTO. The entire process took approximately a month, but I was fully informed the entire interview process. Interviews were scheduled timely and the candidate lead was fantastic to work with.
