The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Forward (San Francisco, CA) in Nov 2021
Interview
Started with a recruiter call, followed by a 1 hour technical interview with an engineer, followed by an onsite with a few technical interviews, some coding and some system design focused.

Question 1
Was given a code for a simple webapp that contained bugs, needed to use the debugger to find all the bugs.
Great! Focused system design + average leetcode questions. Behavioral interview was very nice and straightforward. Systems design interview include building a scribe tool for doctors to use. Was more a paired session with the interviewer.
It was pretty normal as far as interviews in tech go for entry level engineers. It felt like they were spending more time selling me on their product than on questioning me. Some standard Leetcode style question.

Question 1
Something about the minimum travel distance on a keyboard grid.
Medium difficulty. Interviewed before the company abruptly shut down. Like the team, did not get many specifics about the business, particularly regarding the care pods. It was a few phone screens and then onsite.
