I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Noom (Denver, CO) in Mar 2018
Interview
I was scheduled for a three hour virtual interview with Noom for their health coaching role. I cleared my schedule and adjusted my day to fit in this lengthy interview. I was first told to complete a "mock coaching session" with a extremely difficult and quite honestly, unrealistic client via text on the Noom app. I have experience in health coaching, and no one is that difficult during a coaching session. I highly doubt this is a "typical" person that a health coach deals with everyday. After providing plenty of options for this "client" and being extremely flexible and accommodating with a newcomer to the idea of weight loss, I was told that was the end of the interview after one hour. After clearing my schedule for three hours, preparing for the interview, I was not even given a chance to speak with or see a person from Noom to introduce myself or ask questions about the mock coaching session. After a few days I received a run of the mill rejection letter and no explanation or feedback. HIGHLY disappointed in this company, and their interview process. Not even a chance to speak with them after being told this interview would be three hours and to prepare for a face-to-face meeting?! Come on. You can't judge potential hires by an unrealistic mock coaching session with an incredibly difficult client for one hour over text.

Question 1
Nothing, they didn't give me the chance to answer any questions!

Question 1
Why do you feel you'd be a good fit for this position?
A few rounds of interviews with leadership and then presented with a case study for a theoretical user of Noom of how to assist them through menu selection at a popular restaurant chain.
Interview process included a mock interview (digital) and a virtual 1:1 meeting with a Heath Coach. My 1:1 meeting ended up being a phone call rather than a virtual meeting.
