First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Pathstream.
Designer
The interviewer was not nice and made me feel like my resume and portfolio didn't show my skills. They asked why I was still interviewing for a junior position when I didn't apply for one. I've never experienced anything like this before.
- Can you introduce yourself and talk about compensation?
Marketing Executive
It started with a call with an outside HR consultant. We had a nice discussion and I liked her. She then forwarded my resume onto executive management and I moved onto the next step, which was complete an editing project for case study that was poorly written and they needed it rewritten. I was told not to spend more than 2-3 hours on it and that I would be paid $50 for my efforts. They sent me personas, decks, and weblinks to better understand the business. I did it anyway and I believe I did a great job and gave them many suggestions for improvement as a whole, as well as redlining the piece. I was told that it would be reviewed by the CFO. I got my $50 immediately and an email a day later saying that they would not be moving forward. Something doesn't smell right to me!
- Are you open to a hybrid role?
- Tell me about yourself.
- What compensation are you looking for?
Software Engineer
The interview process was really smooth and straightforward. Nothing was too difficult or overly specific. It felt very approachable, and Freddie, the hiring manager, was really nice and understanding. You could tell the team is made up of great people because everyone you talked to was so pleasant.
- Can you design a simple API given some data?
- Walk me through a system design problem.
Lead UX Researcher
Honestly one of the best interview loops I have been part of thus far. The process was thoroughly outline from day one. All information required to prep was provide by the recruiting partner. Comms were consistent and transparent. Overall process: - Hiring Manager Call (background, interest in the role) - Sales and Marketing Call (focused on understanding business metrics) - UX Research case study presentation (attended by hiring manager, designer, and a PM) - VP of Product 1:1 (stakeholder and project management) Everyone came prepared with interesting questions to ask, were thoroughly engaged throughout the loop and answered a lot of questions I had for them openly. As stated earlier, one of the best loops I have been a part of.
- How do you handle prioritizing and triaging incoming research requests?
- What qualities define a truly impactful research insight?
- Describe a situation where you had to inform partners about research delays.
