Campspot Interview Questions
& Process

The interview process was quick and efficient. The recruiter was great, keeping me informed about what to expect. There were no coding tests or take-home assignments. The subsequent interviews included a one-on-one with the hiring manager and a panel interview with the technical team. These discussions were casual, focusing on my career aspirations, interest in the role, and the typical responsibilities. The team was friendly and delved into technical topics to ensure a good fit for both parties. They also allowed ample time for my questions. Overall, it was a pleasant experience, more laid-back than other similar opportunities.

I just finished interviewing with Campspot for a Senior Product Designer gig. It was super fast, just 4 rounds total. Each interview got a little harder, building on what we talked about before. The first two were one-on-one. I chatted with the recruiter first, then a director to see if I was a good fit, personality-wise and professionally, and just to get to know each other. The last two were two-on-one, where I met with folks from the design and product teams. We looked at my background a bit, but mostly dug into my portfolio and past case studies to show what I know, what my experience means in practice, and how it connects with Campspot's goals. I liked this way better than a design challenge or technical test. Everyone I met was really nice and asked smart questions about my work, my process, and my experiences. They also had good answers for my questions about working at Campspot and what's next for the app. Honestly, it was a really quick and pleasant interview process. Campspot seemed to care more about chatting and communication than technical tests or design problems, making it pretty stress-free. I felt like they actually valued me as a candidate, not just another resume. They were also really flexible with my schedule and my need to start by a specific date, which worked out because that's my start date with them!

I had a first call with a recruiter from Campspot and they seemed really into me. Then I talked to the CTO and again the recruiter said it went super well. After that, I had a chat with some of the engineers on the team, which was fine. They told me the next step was a take-home assignment, but it took them a week to actually send it over. I was expecting to go over the code with them, but after I finished it and spent a few hours on it, they just told me to submit it and they'd let me know. About two weeks later, they told me I didn't get the job.

It was a really good experience overall. After I applied, HR got in touch pretty quickly to talk about the job. We decided it looked like a good match, so I had a chat with the hiring manager the next day. Both chats felt more like we were just talking and exploring possibilities instead of an interrogation. Then, a final, more technical interview was set up (it took two weeks to schedule because of calendars) with a group of people from the different teams this role would work with. I got an offer two days after that, with some good feedback on how everything went. All in all, it was 19 days from applying to getting the offer.
