MyFitnessPal application questions — all 85, word for word
MyFitnessPal hires through Greenhouse. Beyond name, email and CV, its application form asks 85 questions, 81 of them required. 2 of them are required, fixed-choice questions about your eligibility to work. A cover letter is optional.
23 roles were open when this was last checked, mostly in engineering and sales. The questions below are the form's own wording, not a paraphrase.

82 of the questions below are ones at most two of the 213 employers measured ask (median: 18), the least standard being “At MyFitnessPal / Cal AI, we build products as part of empowered teams with a laser focus on delivering value to customers -- and learning from everything we do. We're heavily inspired by the writing on the Product Operating Model. Have you worked in an environment like this before?”.
The eligibility questions
These are required, and answered from a fixed list rather than in your own words: work authorisation, visa sponsorship or security clearance. Employers often use questions like these to filter applications automatically, but Greenhouse's public data does not say whether MyFitnessPal does — so treat them as the answers most likely to matter, not as a verdict. Answer them honestly either way.

Before you apply
Have the answers to the required questions ready before you open the form — MyFitnessPal's asks for 81 of them, and Greenhouse does not save a partial application by default. Settle the eligibility questions first — they are the ones with no room to elaborate, so knowing your answer before you start tells you whether the rest of the form is worth your time.
