Process
I was given a short technical exercise, followed up with a one-hour video interview. What a waste of time.
The interview was very simple but extremely vague. The position stated using Data Science tools, but the questions were on database design.
Out of the one-hour interview, I was given the opportunity to ask questions for 30 minutes. While as an applicant it is sometimes great to get a chance to ask questions, when you answer everything correctly and the interviewer does not choose to ask more or detailed questions regarding the solution, you often wonder what the evaluation criteria for the interview could be.
It felt like such interviews come down to the whims of the recruiting team and do not do a great job in helping the company attract top-quality talent.

Flatiron Health Work Experiences
- 4.0Great workplaceData Insights Engineer • Former EmployeeNew York, New York, United StatesAugust 9, 2024Pros: Nice teams and smart people.Cons: Reorgs are just too much.
- 5.0Data Insights Engineer at FlatironData Insights Engineer • Current EmployeeNew York, New York, United StatesFebruary 14, 2017Pros: I've had nothing short of an outstanding experience in my time so far at Flatiron. The company is trying to solve really challenging problems, and does so while infusing its employees with freedom to roam, explore, and expand their technical skills. The passion and drive are self-evident as you walk throughout the office. The people you work with are inspiring and will take the extra time to explain to you why you should be excited as well. The vast, vast majority of people I have encountered here seem to embody genuine kindness, which is hard to find in the workplace due to inherent bureaucracy and work politics.Cons: The working hours are more demanding than your average start-up (~10 hours a day), but I think that is normal for high-performing young companies that are scrappy and trying to prove the resilience of their business model. Also, so many delicious sweets are around the office, making it difficult to eat healthy (first-world problems!), but there are also many great fruits available.
- 3.0Great work-life balance, but hard to make changeData Insights Engineer • Current EmployeeJune 8, 2022Pros: Great work-life balance with decent (not amazing) compensation.Cons: Increasing bureaucracy and attrition makes progress slow.
