Interviewing at Edward-Elmhurst Health
You should expect a fairly standard sequence: an initial screening, then a recruiter phone screen, followed by a technical assessment and technical interviews, and then behavioral interviews plus a final evaluation. Across the reports we have, the interview topics emphasize core software engineering skills, with strong weight on problem solving, coding interviews, and algorithmic thinking.
What gets tested most heavily is your ability to solve problems and communicate clearly while doing it. The topic distribution shows the biggest emphasis on Software Engineering (Technical Skills), Interview Problem Solving (Soft Skills & Leadership), and Coding Interviews covering Algorithms and Data Structures, then Data Structures Knowledge and Communication in Interview Settings.
The data we have also points to live performance under constraints. There is explicit emphasis on Technical Reasoning Under Time Pressure and Algorithmic Complexity, plus Time/Space Complexity Analysis, which signals that you will likely need to explain your reasoning, not just produce an answer.
In your interview prep, prioritize your ability to reason through algorithms under time pressure and to explain your thinking clearly, because both technical problem solving and communication show up as high prominence topics in the extracted interview questions.

The interview process, end to end
6 rounds · based on 66 candidate reports- 1Initial screening
You go through an initial screening to assess basic qualifications and fit for the role. Be ready to clearly connect your background to the role requirements.
- 2Recruiter phone screen
A recruiter conducts a phone screen to discuss your background and role fit. Prepare a concise story about your experience and why you are aligned with the position.
- 3Technical assessment
You complete a technical assessment to evaluate relevant skills and knowledge. Given the topic emphasis, it is likely to test core software engineering fundamentals, including data structures and problem solving.
- 4Technical interviews
You participate in one or more technical interviews. These may include live coding sessions or system design discussions, and the topic data highlights coding interviews, algorithmic complexity, and reasoning under time pressure.
- 5Behavioral interviews
You interview with team members or management focusing on past experiences and cultural fit. Expect behavioral and teamwork questions, collaboration with engineering teams, and communication in interview settings.
- 6Final evaluation
A final evaluation reviews your overall fit and readiness for the position. Prepare to summarize how your experience maps to both technical capability and how you work with others.

What separates offers from rejections
Patterns from candidates who got offers, and the mistakes that most often sink a loop.
Do this
- Practice coding interviews that combine data structures, algorithmic complexity, and time or space complexity explanations. Be ready to walk through your approach step by step and justify tradeoffs.
- Do mock interviews that force concise communication under time pressure. Your goal is to make your reasoning easy to follow while you are writing and debugging.
- Prepare examples that show collaboration with engineering teams and how you handle stakeholder or manager questions. Use specific past situations, what you did, and what the outcome was.
- Expect a recruiter phone screen focused on background and role fit, then a technical assessment and one or more technical interviews. Prepare a clear narrative of what you built, the technologies you used, and why you are a match for the role.
Avoid this
- Do not focus only on getting to an answer. The topic mix includes communication in interview settings, so failing to explain your reasoning is likely to hurt you.
- Do not ignore complexity analysis. Algorithmic Complexity and Time/Space Complexity Analysis are prominent topics, so leaving those unaddressed can be a weak spot.
- Do not treat time pressure as optional. Technical Reasoning Under Time Pressure is a highlighted topic, so you should practice speed with correctness and clear explanations.
- Do not under-prepare for non-technical conversation. Behavioral interviews covering past experiences, cultural fit, teamwork, and collaboration are explicitly part of the reported process.
