Intro call with recruiter, 2 coding problem rounds (first slightly easier than the second), 1 system design (more of an assessment on your ability to creativity solve problems than robust complex system knowledge), and a hiring manager interview.

Question 1
Follow up questions on coding problem about considerations you would have if your solution were to be deployed and used by a team of people in the real world
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Candid Health (Denver, CO) in Apr 2026
Interview
The process was quick, technical call with recruiter to talk about the basics. Then the next was a 'collaborative' coding assessment which I was told was more focused on how you think and problem solve than anything else. The interviewer was stumped by several of my clarifying questions to the coding problem but I was not moved forward after the coding round despite answering his questions correctly. I am unsure if it was embarrassing for him or what I did wrong but they would not provide me that feedback.
Nice company, worked through coding exercise, and system design review was tough. Interviewed over a few weeks, Full-Stack, had some issues with explaining the full system, but ultimately came down to domain experience.

Interview
Initial screening then a technical round. I only made it to the technical round. I solved the challenge but I guess I didn't solve it exactly how he wanted? These types of coding challenges seem irrelevant in this day and age especially if you solve the challenge.
