I applied online. I interviewed at Tempus AI (Chicago, IL)
Interview
Very quick process - typical initial recruiter screen/call, couple hour take home assessment (not too hard), and then 3 hour video call including talking to a product manager, technical coding session, a "system design" session, and meeting with a director. Most of the technical coding session was various "quiz type" questions in Javascript. The recruiter mentioned I'd be able to choose my language for the technical session between Python & Javascript so was thinking it'd be more of a general programming problem, which was not the case so was pretty thrown off. Did not feel this was a good way to assess general programming skills or abilities and felt it was kind of a silly way to evaluate someone tbh. Got the vibe they just care about knowing Javascript specifics super well and not much else. Also that the culture only prioritized working quickly to keep up with constantly shifting priorities.

Interview
30 minute call with recruiter to gauge interest and relevance followed by a take-home coding test. I passed all test cases according to the results after taking it. Did not hear a single update afterwards until I was informed 3.5 weeks later they've decided to move on to another candidate.

Interview
1) Standard recruiter call that talked about my resume, Tempus work culture and the role itself 2) Online assessment - Finished assessment as soon as I received it and passed all test cases but got an automated rejected a day later. Overall, just echoing other people's experiences. Waste of time.

Interview
Quick process. Recruiter screen, hiring manager call, onsite. Onsite consisted of 2 behavioral, 1 live coding (leetcode), 1 system design. Recruiter was great throughout the process up until the very end, when some really messed up stuff happened.
Recruiter called me the day literally after the onsite to tell me they were going to move forward with getting me an offer, and even shared the numbers. The following day, she called back and said sorry the timing actually isn't going to work out because they have too many people out of office and there is too much approval that needs to happen before they sent out the offer. I feel like this was just a cop out for them having either 1) sudden budget cuts or 2) going with a different candidate.
I even cancelled my remaining interviews with other companies and declined another offer because of this, and now I'm having to start all over. I would not recommend wasting a damn minute of your time with this company.
