The recruiting process was quite slow, with significant delays in setting up interviews and responding to emails. Despite being referred and genuinely enjoying the people I met at the company, I felt the overall experience was lacking. I went through a screening and two 30-minute interviews with senior managers, but the interview questions were fairly standard. I was also disappointed by the lack of feedback regarding why I wasn't selected to move forward in the process.

The interview process started with a recruiter call, followed by a 30-minute meeting with the hiring manager, and then a 4.5-hour panel interview with different team members. While the company and product seem great, the interviewers felt more focused on trying to trick or test me rather than genuinely assessing fit. One person from Denver was just reading questions and laughing at my answers. Not sure the culture would be a good fit.

Behavioral Presentation

It was a 4 step process. First, a 30 min call with the recruiter. Then, a 30 minute call with the hiring manager. Next, a 2 hour panel interview over zoom where I had four 30 minute 1:1 peer interviews with other CSMs. Lastly, a 30 minute presentation on something I am passionate about (my choice).
