Opencare Interview Questions

Interview

There was a screening, then topgrading, then case study, then founders interview, then culture interview. Topgrading is a lengthy process, where they delve into your every part of your school and work experiences.

Application

I applied online. The process took a week. I interviewed at Opencare (Toronto, ON) in December 2019.

Interview

Started with a phone screen with typical HR questions. Scheduled an onsite that had 2 technical problems and 1 behavioral stage. Questions were leetcode easy and medium, I solved both (albeit not in most optimized solution). I felt that the behavioral when well too. I ended up being rejected but the process was positive.

Interview

I believe some people bring shame onto name of a good company and the recruiter who contacted me was one such person. She sent me an email to schedule an telephonic discussion and I shared my available time slots on her online calendar. A few hours later she said that she has another meeting, please reschedule. I did it again and interview was confirmed. On the day of the interview, she did not call at the agreed time. I followed up and there she is, saying my other meeting went overboard. Talked to me about my skills (I was overqualified for this role) but I was still was humble and polite. The response from her, unappreciative and I felt she didn't even had the slightest idea about what the role is all about. (Trust me, I have been in the role since she graduated her college). Anyway, she says she will get back and let me tell you, when recruiter says they will get back, it means we can't afford you or you are overqualified for this job.

It was a waste of time as I got the response recently that your skills don't match to our needs. As a Recruiter, don't you see a persons application to see of skills match or not. Also the recruiter's original emails says the team is impressed with my background and suddenly there is no match. Please do not think low of other people and get your facts right before wasting people's time.

Interview

The role was referred to me by a recruiter. After being selected for interview, I was schedule for a 30 minutes call with HR which was smooth and informative. The second step was a 2 hour long case, which was just the right about of difficulty. The next step was a ~1 hour culture interview with two current (non-finance) employees.

Advice:
1. While I understand the company’s will to protect the culture and being very selective in the hiring process to look for “fit”, I would suggest putting the culture interview before any long time commitment cases. While all candidates show respect and interest through these commitments to write a case, they also expect to have a chance to meet the hiring manager who is the one truly looking to hire. If there is going to be a very important filter through the culture process, then it would be better to ask only those who pass the culture round to write the case, then meet the hiring manager. As a candidate, it felt strangely disrespectful not having a chance to meet the hiring manager after 3 rounds.
2. It’s fine to have people representing different functions within the organization to do the culture interview but it would be better if that group included either the hiring manager himself or an HR specialists. Finance is a specialized function and I am concerned that examples given for behaviour type of questions in the work context is not correctly interpreted by people with completely different backgrounds.
3. wish the entire interview process was more transparent upfront instead of finding out what the next step is only after having passed the previous.

Overall, I think the interviews and test cases themselves are fine, but found the process a bit frustrating. I probably spent 2 hours coordinating with recruiter and another 4+ hours doing interviews/writing case...yet I was eliminated from the process before meeting the hiring manager.

Interview

Unfortunately this has been the 2nd time my scheduled phone interview has been cancelled. While I understand circumstances come up, a quick email advising either you’ll be late or cancelling the meeting would have been much appreciated.

Interview

Interview was done by an internal HR person. Asked me questions about my work history and why I would like to work with Opencare. The person doing the interview was not well versed with the tech stack themselves , so it was kind of weird that their response after the first hr chat was that they would not go ahead because of my knowledge and experience.

I mean they did not even have my resume at this point , and did not even have a technical person evaluate me, so I found that claim to be very ill placed .

Interview

Quick phone call pre-screening and then a 2 hour culture interview (that I was told would be 1.5 hours). Culture interview was long and a bit awkward. I was warned that I would feel interrogated because 3 people were asking me questions directly but it was worse than I thought it would be!

2 hours for a culture interview is a lot - hard to schedule when you already have a job.

I applied online. The process took a week. I interviewed at Opencare (Toronto, ON) in March 2019.

Interview

The interview process consisted of 3 parts: phone interview and 2 on-site interviews. If I would've passed, there would've been another interview with the founder.
The first on-site interview was finding out about my history and me. I was interviewed by 2 people for about 1.5 hours.
The second on-site was another on-site behavioural interview with 3 team members. I found this interview a lot more difficult than other behavioural interviews. I have never been interviewed by 3 people before and it was a bit intimidating.
I didn't pass this level. Make sure to be clear in your communication!

Recruiter was great. Always under promising and over delivering with news about next steps. Hiring manager wasn’t the best with timelines. Was flaky the one day and then was told I’d hear that day and it took me reaching out to find out the outcome.
Was impressed with their feedback though. It was constructive which is really helpful.

Interview

Had an initial phone conversation, met with the person who would be my manager, and then had a panel interview with multiple members of their team. The process took about two weeks. Questions are pretty straight forward, all situational and behavioral, mostly based on what your experiences are and how they relate to the position. They're big on culture fit, and tout all these great claims of how progressive and forward thinking they are interns of their approach to people and culture etc. What was very unpleasant and worked to diminish their claims is that after having multiple interviews and meeting many members of their team not one person ever followed up regarding a decision on my candidacy. Even after I had sent follow up emails, nothing. Just silence. From a company that claims to operate on a higher plain I would have expected a bit more.
