LogRocket Interview Questions
& Process

I applied online and got a call back a week later. It started with a phone screening about my background and interest in the role. Then I had to do a writing sample, sending 2 outreach emails based on a customer profile. After that, a mock sales call was set up, with advice and the customer profile given beforehand. The last part was a 2-hour in-person meeting. First, 30 mins with the CEO and CRO, then 30 mins with the SDR Manager and VP Marketing, and a final 30 min coffee chat with current employees. Even though it was long, I liked it because I got feedback after each stage (when I asked) and felt supported. It seemed like they really wanted me to do well, especially the direct manager. EDIT: The VP of People said the team liked me and wanted to move forward with an offer, and asked for references. A week later, I got a generic email saying they decided not to proceed. I asked for feedback, and they got defensive and hostile about their process. They said they chose a more qualified candidate, but the posting was reposted the same day by the VP of People. This felt like a lie and says a lot about them. It seems like they make candidates go through a month of interviews, waste time, and lie. No transparency at the end, and their communication is terrible.

I went through 7 interviews in total, spread across 3 main rounds: a phone screen, a technical screen, and a full panel interview. The tech screen involved a coding problem that wasn't specific to any particular language. The final panel round included a background and Q&A session, two system design interviews, a product design interview, and a meeting with the CEO. Everything went smoothly after the initial call, with timely scheduling and same-day feedback after each interview. The technical questions felt relevant to LogRocket's past challenges and fairly assessed my problem-solving abilities.

The internship posting seemed like a general marketing role focused on content creation, but during the initial interview, I learned it's actually a blog editing position paying $20/hour. The first interview with the hiring manager started 20 minutes late. Next, there was a take-home assignment where I had to edit a sample piece to assess my SEO knowledge and editing approach. Many topics in the sample were unfamiliar since it was for the product developers' blog, requiring a lot of questions. They later admitted they mistakenly provided the wrong keyword for the sample, preventing me from fully demonstrating my SEO skills. The final interview was an excessively long two-hour session for a $20/hour internship. I met with the VP of Marketing, who was 25 minutes late, and though I understand he's busy, his involvement in hiring an intern seemed excessive. He had a strict time limit, leaving me only 7 minutes to discuss my career background, during which he appeared disengaged. I also met with the marketing coordinator for what felt like a peer interview, which was fine. Finally, they requested three references, which is again excessive for an internship. This process was far more extensive and particular than any other marketing coordinator or internship role I've applied for. Despite the drawn-out process, the hiring manager indicated I performed very well and was likely to be hired. Ultimately, this experience felt like a significant waste of my time and likely many others'.

LogRocket called all 5 of my references and chose to decline me after, and I know my references were strong. The negative experience was largely due to them wasting my reference's time (5 former managers and peers) AND not coming back to me with a final decision without me reaching out first. The interview process was: Round 1: a chat with the CEO. Round 2: a chat with a product manager and designer to go through an end to end feature developed. Round 3: a traditional interview with folks throughout the org including head of design, engineering team leads, customer success, and COO. Round 4: references. Round 5: an additional chat with PMs and engineering team leads.
