I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at BetterDoctor (San Francisco, CA) in Dec 2017
Interview
I had an interview with the recruiter prior to the holiday season. The recruiter informed me that he would follow up with more information shortly after the turn of the year. After not hearing from the interviewer for a couple weeks, I sent multiple emails to reaffirm my interest and ask for an update on progress. I have not received responses to my emails. The interview process should be viewed as a reflection of company values, and this negative experience has resulted in me no longer being interested in the company.
Thank you for providing feedback.
All candidates were informed that this process would be proceeding slowly. All feedback was delivered. We apologize if you did not receive it.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at BetterDoctor (San Francisco, CA) in Sept 2017
Interview
I was contacted by their in-house recruiter through Angel.co's A-List. The first step was a roughly 30 minute phone screen. During this call we discussed the state of company, the expectations of the role, and my competencies and abilities. At the conclusion of the call, he said he would send me a coding challenge to complete over the next week.
The challenge was implementing a search engine for their API. It required me to write a Node server to interface with their API, specifically to search for doctors by name. I also had to write a frontend in React with a typeahead search input.
Upon submitting the completed challenge, he responded quickly that the team was reviewing the submission. After two weeks without contact, I sent a followup email asking for feedback or to proceed with the next steps, but the position had already been filled.
Hi - thank you for this feedback. Again, we've altered process to ensure this does not happen again.
Additionally, we will reach out to candidates who completed the code challenge during this time frame if another position becomes available.
I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at BetterDoctor in Aug 2017
Interview
After telling they were interested on me, the HR guy didn't show up to the interviews TWICE.
After finally showing up (late, ofc), the interviewer had only 10 mins for me, where he asked me to do a coding challenge without supervision. After doing it and submitting it, I didn't get any feedback for two weeks, so I asked. The HR guy ignored me, so I told him again the next week. Surprise, he kept ignoring my emails. 4 weeks after, I send a last email and he answered with a very brief: Sorry we got someone else.
Hi - Thank you for taking the time providing us with your feedback. We take recruiting very seriously and have taken actions to improve our processes and ensure that this does not happen again.
