Backend Developer Interview Experience

Process

I applied online. The process took 1 week.

First step was a recruiter call, followed by a take-home assignment. The assignment is to design a back-end API for listing information about a doctor and their schedule. You have to implement GET, POST, and DELETE requests. It was frustrating because I felt like the assignment was too open-ended and they should've narrowed the scope.

They don't even give you a sample dataset - they tell you what you should have and you have to create your own, which took some time. Overall, felt overwhelming to complete everything in 3 hours. Finally, they never provided feedback on the assignment itself. If a candidate is spending this much time on a take-home, at least tell them what they did wrong and what they can improve on.

Notable = Nothing Other Than A Bad Leading Executive

Software Engineer • Former Employee

Pros: Great teammates, wonderful humans, funny slack channels, and amazing opportunity to help clinical organizations! Also, you will learn the unique physics of a revolving door.

Cons: Sadly, the CEO is on a power trip every day. I say sadly because I think the CEO is truly a sad little boy and he takes it out on everyone around him. (I can hear him reading “little boy” and know his blood is boiling, only to be covered with his loud obnoxious forced laugh while he tries to dismiss this comment.. yet he will read on, as most any narcissist would.) I just want people to be eyes open on what they are walking into… imagine a small child running a company, that child would probably do it better. Please don’t allow PK’s smile, anecdotal (fictional) success story, and 2-week honeymoon phase fool you - PK will drive this company into the ground. Justin does his best to shield us but it was never enough. Just go to LinkedIn > search Notable > review how many people have turned over in less than two years of employment. Bonkers! Funny enough, in your first encounter with this little boy he will ask few questions and focus more on telling you about his former experience at Blend and financial services - no healthcare background. The CEO truly believes he is the best at whatever his little brain conjures up. Unfortunately his two cofounders (lovely peps) are silent when the CEO rants. PK loves to brag about his engineering skills and how his original code is still used (shhh, don’t tell the little one that’s not true). PK also likes to tell prospects about a product that simply does not exist as even he, the greatest CEO, can’t build it. Good luck to the Board and current employees - one large change is simply needed.
