Multiverse Interview Questions
& Process

I went through 3 casual interviews, but it felt like I was being passed around without a clear plan. The hiring manager kept changing every time I asked who I'd report to. I had to prepare and deliver a big presentation with no feedback. Then, I had an in-person meeting in London with someone who had just started the job a week before. Managers joined this meeting virtually, which made me wonder why I even needed to travel there. After all that, I had to chase them for a response, and it felt like a generic rejection email, which I had to chase up to get in the first place. It's tough to feel enthusiastic about a company or role after an experience like that. I also talked to former employees, and their negative feedback on Glassdoor was consistent.

The interview process was a great experience overall, comprising 3 stages. Everyone I connected with was super friendly and kept me in the loop. They gave a clear rundown of what to expect before each part, and after every step, I got detailed feedback. It kicked off with a recruiter chat where they confirmed I was moving forward. Then, there was a prep call to go over the whole hiring process and what they were looking for. After that, I had a chat with the Head of Design. The final part was a remote task: I had to record a video presentation walking through a case study.

The interview process felt well-organized and considerate of candidates. Right after applying, the recruiter, Lauren L., laid out the expected timeline, who I'd be meeting, and what success looked like for this position. The initial screening was more of a chat to see if my experience aligned with the role's needs. Then, I got a practical assignment with a week to complete it, which included a pre-read and a slide deck. Lauren did a great job setting up a panel interview with RevOps leaders and managed communication and scheduling very efficiently, ensuring calendar holds and logistics were handled promptly. The actual interview started on time and lasted about an hour, involving a presentation followed by a Q&A. I got quick and honest feedback the same day, highlighting what went well and areas for improvement, like being more concise and using an answer-first approach. Overall, it was a respectful and clear process that managed to be both challenging and human. Lauren was consistently proactive, organized, and supportive.

I got to the final round for this role but was rejected, so I wanted to give my honest take on the process. Overall, it was pretty good until the last interview. I don't think they liked my presentation when they read over my preread, so they came at me pretty hot with lots of questions from the start. The final challenge is tough - they give you a 40-minute presentation based on a briefing. You'll have about 1.5 weeks to do this at home. During the interview, you will present to them, but keep in mind they will ask you questions throughout the presentation, and you'll likely run out of time for the full 40 minutes, therefore, I would suggest making it a little shorter to make space for the extra questions. This really threw me off as I wasn't expecting that, but I've never had a proper interview before, so maybe it's common practice. I felt like they asked a few "gotcha" questions - questions without a perfect/right answer. Maybe I'm wrong, and this displays my lack of aptitude for the position (which is fair), but I wasn't sure how to respond to them, so just be aware of that. The other thing that bummed me out was how the hiring manager, Amy, acted. She looked incredibly bored during the whole hour. She talked really slowly, like she was trying to get the question through my head. She also kept attempting to make eye contact with the other woman when I answered certain questions. This made me feel like I had said something stupid or had misunderstood the question, which made it very difficult to respond. It was bad practice from her, and if she cared to hear feedback, I would say - Remember that the person you're interviewing will be nervous and will feed off your body language, so try to hide it a little better if you don't agree with what they're saying. The few times she said something positive, it was in a backhanded sort of way, "You got there in the end", that type of thing. Again, fair enough, I'm not fit for the role, and her feedback was valid, but her body language was incredibly disheartening. Overall, when I walked out, I knew with 95% certainty that I hadn't landed the role. That's how bad the vibes were by the end. And frankly, I'm not heartbroken; based on what I saw, I think I would struggle to fit in there. It's a shame; I was looking forward to a new challenge, but I don't think I was the right fit for them, and vice versa.
