First was hirvue. Second was a 1:1 with a manager who you will not being working with when you get hired. This manager will type your responses into a form and this form is read by you actual team. There is zero way to judge the culture of the workplace because you will not speak with your actual team. The interview was 2 parts total. The final part being what I mentioned above. No one contacted me and I reached out via email for my denial email. Overall a negative experience, but easy interview.

Question 1
Hirevue questions are covered here. The interview with the manager was STAR questions. Also, questions discussing current projects and resume.
I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at Optum
Interview
My interview process started with a 30-minute recruiter call where we discussed my current work at Optum, my stack, and what I was looking for in the next role. A few days later I had a technical phone screen with one of the senior engineers on the team. We spent about 45 minutes on a coding problem around string manipulation and then walked through a few questions on Java concurrency and Spring Boot internals.
After that I moved to the virtual onsite, which was four rounds spread across a single day. The first round was a system design discussion where I designed a scalable order management service using event-driven patterns with Kafka. The second was a deep dive into React and Next.js, covering rendering strategies, state management, and how I would structure a large frontend codebase. The third was a hands-on coding round on a shared editor where I built out a small API with proper validation and error handling. The final round was behavioral, focused on cross-team collaboration, conflict resolution, and how I approach mentoring.
I got feedback within a week, followed by a hiring manager wrap-up and an offer conversation shortly after.
