So yeah, the interview experience at HiBob was really good. The whole process was super clear and organized, and it went by pretty fast, but not in a way that felt rushed. First, there was a recruiter call, then a technical interview over Zoom, followed by a design review at the office. After that, there was a group interview on Zoom with some managers, and finally, an HR interview. They kept me in the loop the whole time, let me know what to expect at each step, and got back to me quickly. It all wrapped up in about two weeks, which was awesome. Everyone I talked to was professional, ready, and respected my time. It seemed like a well-thought-out process to check both my skills and if I'd fit with the team, all done efficiently.

Behavioral Technical
The interview process was very effective, efficient, and clearly structured. I received a warm, human, and informal invitation that gave me a sense of what it's like to work there day-to-day and what the people are like. The experience was highly reflective of their culture, brand, and people. Excellent experience overall. Would recommend.

Coding Technical Behavioral
So, first there was an HR Phone Call, the recruiter was super nice and professional. Then, a 90-Minute Coding Interview where I had to solve some coding challenges. After that, a 90-Minute Interview where they asked a lot about my past role and a project. I was hoping to talk about design stuff but it wasn't really that kind of vibe. Then came a 60-Minute Interview with the Group Lead/Director, which felt like a repeat of the previous round with overlapping questions. It wasn't very professional, and they asked a personal question that made me feel awkward. It was a weird interview, so I decided to just stop the process. There was also a Final HR Conversation. Overall, the interviewers were mostly nice, but there were some issues with expectations about the role level and salary.
