The screening interview was a bit late, like 5-8 mins. The recruiter seemed really tired and scattered, not really in the mood for an interview. After it was done, they didn't respond. When I followed up, I got an automated rejection email.

Behavioral Presentation

I had an initial chat with the recruiter and then a behavioural interview with another Engineering Manager. After that, I was asked to prepare a showcase of projects and trade-offs. The internal recruitment team member I was dealing with disappeared during the process, and another member stepped in. Because of the communication breakdown, my showcase was different from what the interviewers were expecting (I focused on examples more relevant to the specific role I was applying for, while the interviewers were expecting the most complex and recent examples). I was rejected based on that.

Behavioral Case Presentation

It was a really smooth process, I got to meet everyone I would be working with. The interviews were clearly laid out with good exercises that tested all the skills needed for a manager. I appreciated knowing about the case interviews upfront so I could get ready. The team really focused on making sure I aligned with Cleo's mission.
