The interview process was long and thorough due to the pandemic. LogRhythm made it clear from the start they were seeking an exceptional candidate ready to contribute immediately. I participated in seven interview rounds, meeting with the hiring manager, sales engineers, VP of Engineering, sales representatives, and recruiters. A background check and employment verification were also part of the process. Despite its length, I found the interview experience very enjoyable because the team members were consistently friendly and enthusiastic.

Technical Behavioral
I had four phone interviews and a Skype call before coming onsite for an in-person interview. The travel arrangements were a bit of a mess; car rental wouldn't let me have the car since I wasn't a current employee, so I had to sort out my own transportation. When I got there, the people scheduled to meet me were out, and I ended up waiting 45 minutes for a new team to be put together. I then sat through four technical interviews, and each one started with, 'Why are you here? I didn't think we were filling any positions.' They said I'd get an update immediately, either that night or the next day. I ended up waiting until 5:30 PM for the last interview, which made me miss my car return and almost my flight. The whole thing felt rushed, and I felt like I was an inconvenience. After the VP told me four times I'd hear back immediately, I got no response via email or phone despite trying to follow up. Then I had to chase them for reimbursement for the car charges. Nothing happened for four weeks, so I just absorbed the cost. I'm still getting reminders about the toll charges from that trip.

Presentation Technical Behavioral
A recruiter from LogRhythm reached out on LinkedIn. Initially, she considered me for a different position but then realized I'd be a better fit for a Sales Engineering role. Following that conversation, I met with the hiring manager, then three colleagues. After that, I presented a demo to the hiring manager and had lunch with someone at the hiring manager's level. A test was administered subsequently, and then I received the offer. The whole process was really smooth and everyone was super responsive and professional. I got offers from other places too but chose LogRhythm because of the people, how well the company is doing, and the overall vibe.
