I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at GoodRx (New York, NY) in Mar 2022
Interview
Scheduled a phone interview that lasted 20 minutes. After that, they sent a Hackerrank skills assessment with 4 questions and 90 minutes to answer. A few days later I had a Zoom interview with a hiring manager, not a very te him al one. It seemed to go well, but then they disappeared.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What makes you a good candidate for this role in our company?
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at GoodRx
Interview
1. Phone call with Recruiter about positions available (15 - 30 mins)
2. Phone Screen with Manager. Talked about me and passed experience (30 mins)
3. Another Phone Screen with Manager. Technical questions including SQL, Regex, previous Architecture projects and high level implementation (30 mins)
4. Coding Interview with 2 Engineers. Asked 3 questions (1hr)
5. System Design with 2 Engineers (1hr) and Behavioral Interview with VP (30 mins)
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
- Explain a previous project where you were involved with the architecture.
- SQL query questions (Join, Count, etc.)
- The 3 coding questions were similar string problems, but they got more complicated and required different outputs as you advanced to the next questions
I got messaged by a LinkedIn recruiter, who later required a phone call. After talking with him, I proceeded to talk to the hiring manager for 45 minutes.
Honestly, the software sounds like a nightmare. It's one of those engineering ideas that tries to solve the problem by creating even more problems. I fully expect their mobile apps to be buggy as hell in a few months.
The only reason I even entertained continuing the process was that the salary sounded good, but they decided I wasn't good enough to continue.
Not that they told me that...or anything for that matter. After a week I message the recruiter and heard nothing back.
Now for the funny part. Three weeks after my interview, I get messaged by a different GoodRx recruiter for the EXACT SAME JOB.
Stay away from this one. So many red flags.
