Candidate-reported interview process

It was a 3-round process. The first round was with the hiring manager, the second was a panel with stakeholders, and the third was with an HR representative. The whole process moved quickly, taking about 24 days. It was generally effective and decisions were made fast.

The interview process was very thorough! I found the employee experience team to be really knowledgeable and friendly. Actian has a great culture and the interview experience was wonderful. I contacted the recruiter directly, and they connected me with the person who would become my manager!

It was a long process because of some vacations and president's club, but it was the right process. They relied heavily on the relationship built with the AE I would partner with.
