The interview process was incredibly smooth, organized and efficient. From submitting my application to my offer letter, the process took just over two weeks. There were three stages: call with a recruiter, call with hiring manager, and panel with three team members. Everyone I met with was professional and friendly, making the whole process comfortable and easy.

I had an interview with a recruiter and then a call with someone else. Both pleasant, the second caller seemed very rushed and inattentive. I wasn’t able to ask questions because she said that she had to take another call. Then I was ghosted by the company. If people aren’t a good fit that’s fine, but why ghost people? I even emailed to follow up and got no reply, really guys? That’s so incredibly unprofessional. Told me a lot about the culture even though they claim otherwise.

I applied to Planful through a referral and the whole process was completed in about 2.5 to 3 weeks, which was one of the best interview experiences I've had. My recruiter, Emily, was super helpful and knew a lot about the company, team, and culture. She was really quick with follow-ups, scheduling, and offering support. The interviews with the hiring manager, Shaneil, and the VP of CS were also great. Shaneil shared some really thoughtful insights from her time at Planful and asked some good questions. She really seemed to represent the company's culture as a good communicator, team player, and someone who strives for progress. I also liked my final interview with the VP of CS, who has a clear vision for his team's growth, learning, and industry standing. I was really impressed with this team. Even though I accepted another offer, I'll be watching Planful's growth and this team's success, and will keep an eye out for future roles.
