Electric AI Interview Questions
& Process

I talked with about 5 people from different departments. They're trying to find someone who will be a good fit for the role and the company. It's clear they're serious about this and selective about who they hire. Everyone was smart but also cool. They made sure I had a chance to ask my questions and felt good about things before we wrapped up. Their recruiting team is amazing. Super nice and on top of everything. They keep you informed about where you are in the process and give you solid feedback after each chat.

The interview process was pretty standard and easy to follow. First, I had a friendly chat with the recruiter, then talked to the manager about the team, the role, and my experience. After that, there was a tech screen with a coding question that actually related to the job. They also asked a system design question, which was also relevant. Finally, I spoke with the engineering director. The company made a hiring decision really quickly, within hours of the last interview. Honestly, it was one of the best and smoothest interview experiences I've ever had.

The interview process was smooth and straightforward. The recruiter was super friendly and helpful. It started with a 30-minute recruiter call, then a technical call with an engineering director. After that, I had a code challenge which included both a design doc and an implementation part. They were flexible with my schedule for the "on-site" rounds, which were all remote, and spread them out over a few days. I did a technical system design interview, a behavioral interview asking about past experiences, and an interview with my potential manager. Everyone I met was nice, asked good questions, and answered mine thoroughly. The recruiter kept in touch between rounds, and I got an offer call a few days later.

So basically, it was March 2020 when all this happened. The interview process was pretty standard. First, I had a quick HR phone screening, then I spoke with the Implementation Manager on the phone. After that, I went into the office for interviews with a team member, the Implementation Manager, and a Customer Success Manager. It all went really well, everyone was nice. They asked typical interview questions, some situational ones too. Then, they asked me to come back to meet the head of Implementation. This was right when the pandemic was getting serious in NYC, and I was worried about taking public transport, but I was so keen on the job that I went anyway. The interview went well, and the HR person I was talking to started discussing salary. They wouldn't offer the salary we first agreed on, but I was willing to negotiate because I really wanted it. Soon after, their offices went fully remote, and I stopped hearing from HR. I emailed a bunch of times, and they always said they'd get back to me with a decision, but they never did. I felt like I was chasing them, which was super off-putting. I basically felt like I wasted my time. HR just ghosted me. I get that maybe they were rethinking the need for an Implementation Manager because of the pandemic, but I wish they'd just told me. I even saw the job posting disappear and then reappear, so I followed up again, wanting to be considered, but I just got the runaround and then they stopped responding. I think how you treat potential hires says a lot, and I'm really disappointed with this whole experience. I probably wouldn't have said anything, but thinking back, this was the most unprofessional interview process I've ever been through.
