started with a quick chat with the recruiter, then had two more calls with folks on the team I might join. It was all pretty chill, not super formal. They wanted to know why I was interested, what my background was like, and asked a few straightforward questions to see if I could do the job.

Behavioral Technical Presentation

I had 5 official interviews over 3 days. The initial ones were about my CV, then we discussed product management more. It was clear what they needed and it felt good about the company and team. The Talent Acquisition Specialist checked in after each interview with feedback. It was a smooth and nice process. I also had two extra casual chats with the hiring manager and my future manager to ask some remaining questions. They were helpful and spent time discussing anything I needed to help me decide.

Behavioral Technical

I applied in early February 2020. First was a 30-min call with the head recruiter, covering general company info and questions. Then, a call with the hiring manager, which was more technical and gave me more role details. Following that was an onsite interview with about 4 different sessions with various people. Overall, it was a great experience, people were nice and asked good questions. The work at Benevolent was a big draw, but the people there made me even more excited. Feedback was quick, but I didn't get the job.
