I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at MyHealthTeams
Interview
Initial screen with the director (video call) where he asks questions based on your resume. Typical "conversational" technical interview. Next came a take home "case study" that was vague, unclear, and written by someone whose native language is not English. Finally, a video interview with the director and a mid level data engineer to review the case study. It was actually mostly just a repeat of the first interview with the director, with some bonus questions from the mid level data engineer strangely around AI/ML despite this being purely a DE role, and frankly I suspect they went with a candidate who was also Indian. I don't really mind that, but I felt like they knew from the outset that I wasn't getting an offer and therefore were wasting my time, like maybe on the off chance I was a prodigy or something. Otherwise, the questions wouldn't feel like they were designed to weed me out/give them a reason to pass me up.
I think the interviewers struggled (perhaps because English is their second language) to convey what it was they were asking. For example, they were trying to figure out if I recognized that there aren't any significant differences between the various web scraping libraries across various programming languages (e.g., puppeteer/JS vs bs4/Python) which just felt like them trying to see if I'm lying on my resume than gauging fitness for the role (which, again, is a data engineer role).
The whole process, including the vague and open-ended case study, felt designed to make it so they can reject anyone they want and be able to say it was for technical reasons.

Questions around the ETL pipelines I built at my most recent job.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at MyHealthTeams (San Francisco, CA) in Jul 2021
Interview
Had two technical interviews that lasted about an hour and a half each. The interview was more of a collaboration and coding in pairs with the interviewer and less like a test. The rest of the time I was scheduled to meet with different people in the company and those interviews lasted about 30 minutes each and were more general behavioral questions.

Question 1
One technical question that I had to answer using Ruby language was about designing a grocery store checkout machine that will scan items and return the total price the customer has to pay.

Interview
After being contacted by a recruiter, and taking a personality test, I was in a 5 individual interviews with member of the team including the CEO. I also gave an hour long presentation to everyone I interviewed with. After getting generally positive feedback, I was ghosted with no additional communication. I don't mind not getting a job, but the lack of professionalism when asking for so many interviews and a presentation really says something about the company. It seems they are looking for new / big ideas, but I don't believe they have even implemented best practices as evidenced in my review of their product or in their treatment of interview candidates.
