Process
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks.
Recruiter call, technical screen, virtual "onsite". Recruiter call and technical screen simple enough. Everyone was very nice and helpful throughout. Virtual onsite contains a number of sessions that covers cultural to more technical interviews. This was somewhat annoying and IMO (this is a personal review after all) this is where personal experience can destroy you. Know too much about implementing something similar? Don't do it. The feedback I got in one of the code/technical portions of the onsite was that it was "too complex" and wouldn't "be scalable". From my experience, it's not and it is scalable.
In fact, (excuse me for my holier-than-thou tone here) my approach was simple enough to write in a 50 minute interview and is used by well-established libraries that get 10M+ weekly downloads on npm, but maybe I'm just not adequate enough shrug. Either way, the recruiter was helpful and nice, although I think scheduling a phone call for a rejection is absolutely unnecessary. Just reject, provide reasons, and let everyone move on.

Notable Work Experiences
- 1.0Notable = Nothing Other Than A Bad Leading ExecutiveSoftware Engineer • Former EmployeeJune 14, 2023Pros: 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.
