I applied online. I interviewed at Forward in Jan 2021
Interview
I first had a 30 minute phone screening, where I just got to know the recruiter. I then talked to one of the engineers for a 1 hour technical interview.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
We talked about my past projects, and then had a technical question about weighted arrays
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.
