heard this is no longer the case with the pandemic. Apparently the CEO had some questionable perspectives on COVID for someone who managed health tech. None of my friends who had jobs there made it through covid without quitting or watching their team quit.
Anecdotally, their recruiting is a mess and the IQ test type interviewing is very common for them instead of FAANG style interviews. I reached out to them at a career fair and they laughed at me and told me I was unqualified because by resume said "medical engineering with a focus on software" and said they only wanted software engineering. That day I re-wrote my resume to say "CS with a focus on medical tech" (I was formally un-declared as a student at the time) and the same person who threw out my resume offered to interview me - I declined.
* I also would later graduate with a degree in computers not medicine, in large part due to that interaction, despite forming a very negative perception of that recruiters behavior.
- BeFlatXIII 4y agoWhat do you find to be a mess about weird IQ tests compared to FAANG interviews? From my brief time working there, it seems their recruitment pipeline is wonky for the devs while the support staff are open to applicants of any and all backgrounds (provided they can pass the IQ tests)
