Interview
Worst interview of my life.
I spoke with two of the heads before being connected to the CEO. He insisted we speak over the weekend which I obliged (that should've been a warning sign).
I was in the middle of asking him my first question, he started on a long diatribe about how I had no real world experiences, only had book smarts, had wasted my entire career, and so on. Apparently he gleaned all this in ten minutes, most of which involved pleasantries. I tried several times to correct him, but he wasn't having it and continued for another twenty minutes about me and cited a number of fundamentally incorrect things that made me worry about his knowledge of the healthcare system (example: the US has amongst the highest life expectancies in the developed world).
I've been on battlefields and very senior government positions, and I haven't heard anyone be so rude and immature to another individual, especially after only meeting with them for ten minutes. I had another friend who had a similar experience, and I imagine that the CEO gets off on taking people down a peg. Had I not been so shocked by his behavior, I would've simply hung up.
Rigorous interview. There were a couple of intro calls with one being a more case study type interview asking about more financial questions as well as "what you'd do" situational questions.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Forward (San Francisco, CA) in Apr 2024
Interview
Very weird and cult like. Fully focused on why you love the company and a mix of automation questions. They clearly want the answer to be that everything is automated

The interviews themselves are quite standard, but the process is lengthy. Expect a screening call, ~4 1:1 team interviews, then a full day onsite, which includes several case studies and back to back 30 minute to 1 hour interviews. This day did not include a lunch break, which was off putting, and several of the interviews actually took place outside, walking around the city. In fact, there was no break at all during the 6 hour onsite. I found the people at Forward intelligent, insightful, and passionate. The experience of meeting them all was wonderful. That said, their offer was shockingly low. Purposefully not providing realistic salary ranges during the interview process is disrespectful of a candidate's time.
