Don't bother unless you're looking to waste 10 months of your time.
Extremely slow. Disrespectful to the candidates time. It looks like they are only interviewing candidates to fulfill their interview requirements, and suspiciously their diversity requirements.
You would think going above and beyond on the take home assignment would give them an understanding of your engineering skills, but apparently not. The hiring manager actually said "Yeah, I might have you work for free", when looking at the code submission. Also why would you have the candidate do a take home assignment and do white board coding on top of that? The take home assignment should be a sufficient example of their coding and software engineering skills.
The CTO seemed disinterested and also in a rush, despite the interview being scheduled 2 months prior. It also looked like this was the 1st time he saw the candidate's resume, and had no knowledge of the candidate before entering the interview.
Also hands down the worst HR recruitment process I've ever experienced. They never respond to your email, even if you have important questions about the upcoming interview . Also even if you've decided to not move forward with the candidate, the candidate still has invested time in your company, and you should notify them as soon as the decision is made so as to not waste their time. I have had faster and politer responses from companies like Google, Facebook and Amazon that have 1000s of candidates for each role. But MIC notifies candidates at an extremely slow manner, with obvious disregard of the candidate's investment.
The position has also been up on their website for 2 years continuously, which suggests that MIC are not actually interested in hiring new employees. For an early stage startup that has all negative reviews on glassdoor, I would definitely not recommend.

Had two interviews there, I believe the recruiter said there is a four interview process. A little much in my opinion. The first interview went well the recruiter basically asked me about my experience and work history. I was scheduled for a follow-up but the hiring manager canceled at the last minute, (literally hour before the interview) and I had to follow up with the recruiter about scheduling the second interview because she forgot to send the email scheduling link. Get to the second interview it started out ok until he asked some abstract questions about algorithm optimization and big-0 notation. I guess if you want to work here you should know that, but not a good way to gauge the skills of candidates in my opinion. Anyways received an email literally an hour later saying I wasn't a good fit for the position.

Question 1
How would you store the heart rate data of an infant? Also if you were trying to search for a specific heart rate of an infant at a specific time of day how would you find that.

I had applied some time in March 2019. There application includes resume, 3 references, cover letter, but also to send some kind of jokes or puns (?). I heard back over 2 months after applying in May to set up a call with the recruiter. The recruiter didn't respond in a timely manner and after a few attempts at scheduling I was finally able to get to the call.
The recruiter seemed polite and gave me an overview of the company but she was taking notes all throughout, and I could clearly hear the typing and there were a lot of long pauses when she was just typing away. She did ask me if it was okay, but I would very much have preferred if she took notes by hand or after.
At the end of the call she let me know that the Hiring Manager was out of office for 3 weeks and she wouldn't be able to let me know if I am moving forward until they came back. When I asked to confirm if that would be mid-June, she said no that would be the 3rd or 4th week of June (which is 4 or 5 weeks after my recruiter call). I said okay, since I didn't want to lose the opportunity. June passes, I still have not heard from her. I follow up with her twice until 1st week July but still don't get any response from her.
I would say that it was a horrible process. I felt like they completely wasted my time, and that MIC has a complete disregard for their candidates. I don't know about the company but I think they need to seriously revamp their recruiting process if they want to hire good candidates who are passionate about their work. It seemed completely unstructured and just all over the place. The position is still up on their website, and if they weren't interested a polite email would have sufficed. I would not recommend applying unless you can somehow avoid going through the recruiters.
