So the interview process goes like this: First, a recruiter screens you and talks about the company. Then, you talk to the hiring manager about your past jobs and experience. After that, the VP of Sales wants to know who you know and how you'd kick things off. Next, the Senior VP focuses on your performance and skills. The Chief Evanglist interview is all about your network. Then there's a background check, and finally, an offer.

Behavioral Technical
I applied online and got a call back in about a week. We scheduled and I did the first interview. Then there was a two-week wait with not much contact, which made me think about urgency. I had a second interview and asked about the process. They said about 5 interviews but they needed someone fast, so it should be quick. A week after that, they said a third interview was coming up, about a month after I applied - way too long for an entry level job. Another week passed with excuses, then another week, and then nothing. I got 9 other job offers during this time. I took another job the same day they went silent. I tried to tell them I started a new job, but they still said 'another interview is coming.' They wasted my time! For a basic job, it shouldn't take weeks and multiple interviews. They should decide if they want you. This company seems to have this problem a lot based on other reviews.

Presentation Behavioral Technical
They're a hiring partner with my web development bootcamp. Our career services set up the application, and they chose to interview me. The first step was a screen share in which I talked about one of my projects, then an in-person interview where they asked about my experience and working style. If I had been moved forward the last step would have been a phone call with the CEO.
