Behavioral Technical

I only had a phone screen with a recruiter. They quickly realized I didn't have enough experience for the Technical Support Engineer role but suggested I wait for the Technical Support Specialist role. It's been months and I haven't seen the TSS role advertised, but the recruiter and manager I spoke with were really nice, friendly, and efficient. I appreciated their honesty about me not qualifying from the start. I'm still hoping to apply for the TSS role.

Behavioral Presentation

It was a lengthy interview process with two interviews with colleagues, one with a recruiter, and a presentation. If the presentation went well, there would be another interview. The presentation involved talking about a topic you might not know and answering questions about the product, which was tough to prepare for given the lack of focus and short prep time. The interviewers were also quite cold and impersonal. The whole process felt like I was already working there and on disciplinary action, struggling to keep my job. I wouldn't recommend it.

Behavioral

I interviewed at Iterable and wanted to share my experience. The communication was problematic; my interviews were rescheduled last minute or the recruiter didn't show up, which was frustrating and confusing. I also found the process unprofessional and not inclusive, making me doubt the company's commitment to diversity and respect for candidates' time, especially as someone from an underrepresented group. I hope Iterable considers this feedback because candidate treatment is important and affects how people perceive the company. Heads up for others interested in this role!

Behavioral Technical Presentation Other

This company has a history of asking candidates to do unpaid work that benefits the company without any real intention of hiring. My process spanned 4 weeks, including 9 interviews plus a detailed case study and presentation, which was way more than what the candidate handbook said. The handbook listed 4 steps: Recruiter call, Hiring Manager interview, Panel interview, and Offer. I was told by the recruiter that this role might have a small case study and a meeting with the CMO. But my actual process was: Recruiter call, Hiring Manager interview, SVP of GTM interview, four separate 30-minute interviews with cross-functional people (not a panel), CMO interview (who then asked for another meeting), and then a case study was introduced even though steps 4 and 5 were supposed to be the 'final rounds'. This case study was a big deal, not short at all. I even had a prep call with the hiring manager, making it 9 interviews before I could even start the project. The case study was basically free work, taking up to 5 hours, and I had to present it to over 10 people from different departments. When I raised concerns about doing so much free work, especially since I'd done similar paid consulting before, they rejected me. The hiring manager even said my 'hesitancy to just complete the project made her reconsider moving forward'. This is illegal, a violation of labor laws like the FLSA, and it's also illegal to retaliate against candidates for speaking up about it. This company is a mess and doesn't respect candidates' time. I'm pretty sure they just want to steal knowledge from experts. It's fraudulent. Seriously, run away. Other reviews show why this place has gone downhill.
