Divvy Interview Questions
& Process

I had a phone screen with the recruiter, which was pretty standard. Then, I interviewed with one of the CSM managers, and that interview was also pretty standard. After that, they ghosted me and never got back to me. I reached out to the recruiter multiple times for an update, and over a year later, they messaged me on LinkedIn to see if I was still interested in a CSM role.

The interview process was pretty simple and went through 5 stages: HR Screen, Department Head Interview, Group Team Interview, Director/VP Level Interview, and finally Negotiations. HR was great at keeping me updated, responding quickly and being available for calls. The interviews were 50% about culture/fit and 50% technical. The questions weren't tricky, and they encouraged asking for clarification if a question was unclear or had multiple answers. They stressed that honesty is important because the department is very knowledgeable, and you can't lie about your experience. Management has deep technical knowledge, not just business. They also emphasized culture fit, focusing on traits like reliability, being easy to talk to, respect, out-of-the-box thinking, appreciating small details, and understanding the importance of work-life balance for performance. I found it difficult mainly due to the technical questions, which required looking at the bigger picture and considering various approaches.

So I had an HR interview, then after that, 4 hour-long technical interviews. All the interviewers asked questions that seemed relevant and reasonable except for one. He showed up with a recursive gotcha question, the application of which I have never seen in any of the roles I have been in. It was also something for which there are abundant performant libraries out there. That particular interviewer looked bored the whole time. So everything seemed good and then it ended up a no-go. Weird experience overall.

I started with a recruiter call, then a phone screen to make sure I wasn't a total weirdo. A few days later, I had a zoom interview with the QA Manager where we talked about me and my experience and why I was interested in the job. Then I got some homework related to the job. The final interview had two parts: first, an interview with an engineering director and another Sr. SDET focusing on culture and experience questions. Second, an interview with the QA Manager, the Tech Lead for QA, and another Engineering manager where we reviewed my work, my process, how I solved problems, showcased my best work, and talked about areas for improvement. They also asked more culture and experience questions and gave me plenty of time to ask mine. After the final interview, the recruiter kept me updated every 3-5 days. Overall, I thought the process was great!
