J'ai postulé en ligne. J'ai passé un entretien chez Forward (San Francisco, CA) en oct. 2022
Entretien
There were a handful of remote video call interviews, followed by an in-person session. The in-person session included a 2-3 conversations with leaders at the company, alongside a presentation that I prepared in advance.

Question 1
Given X and Y constraints, and a baseline churn of seasonal beverages, how would you architect a modularized training program for Starbucks baristas?

This company and especially its leadership have a very scammy-feel to them despite their funding so far. From my interviews, I've gathered that the perfect candidate to them would basically be someone who drinks the Kool-Aid of wanting to replace actual real-world doctors with AI and "engineers". This is what one of their employees told me point-blank in an interview. The founder who came up with the original idea actually has a personal vendetta against physicians that the marketing team tries to spin as a sob story. And in addition to all these other reviews here on Glassdoor suggesting that they're only conducting interviews right now as a marketing scheme -- not actually looking to hire, I HIGHLY recommend anyone who does receive an offer from them to read up reviews of Forward from the public/customers that can be found on Reddit and other forums. There are overwhelmingly negative reviews from people feeling scammed and not receiving the services they've paid for. Highly do not recommend joining this company even if you do somehow get an offer. All my interviewers sounded like they were in a cult and could not think critically for themselves. Like replacing doctors with AI -- seriously? You have to be delusional or just plain dumb to actually believe in that pathetic excuse of a mission. I'm looking forward to the Netflix documentary on this scandal-magnet of a company coming out in the next 5-10 years. Godspeed.

Question 1
Where else are you applying? Why Forward? One interviewer also spent the majority of the time on a soapbox, going on a 20-minute (I kid you not) monologue of the company mission.

I was scheduled for a screening call followed by a case study/culture fit interview back-to-back. The case study portion asked me to describe a company dashboard for the CEO and the culture fit portion was very focused on why I want to work at Forward specifically. The hardest thing was figuring out how to answer when I wasn't applying for any job in particular.
