First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Rad Power Bikes.
Senior Software Engineer
Started with a friendly HR call, covering my resume, tech experience, and company info. They laid out the hiring process: HR chat, a 45-min chat with two engineers, then a 45-min with the engineering manager, and finally a 45-min with a UI engineer. I think I messed up the tech interview because I wasn't ready for it. Basically, this company is a startup engineering-wise, and those two engineers were the only ones there. Their questions were about setting things up like versioning, testing, and system design. I'm more used to established companies with project planning, client interaction via PMs and Scrum Masters, which they didn't seem to have yet. Everyone was nice, but it just wasn't a fit. I'm at a point where I need a solid team around me, so a startup might not be my thing. Got a rejection email a few days later, which I think bummed out the HR person since we had a good chat.
- Can you talk about versioning, testing, and validation?
- Describe the end-to-end process of product development and delivery.
- For system design, how would you design a board with a radio?
Product Support Specialist
I spoke with three people who have a lot of experience as Product Support Specialists at Rad Power Bikes. This gave me a good feel for the role. They were all very nice and professional. I now understand better why Rad Power Bikes has a great reputation for innovation and customer service. One person mentioned the high customer service ratings they're getting and that they aim to do even better. Rad Power Bikes has been quick to send detailed info about the interview and onboarding. I think this is a great company with a strong mission and values that match mine. Rad Power Bikes has huge growth potential, which means lots of chances for career growth.
- Describe how you would handle a customer who is escalated.
Product Support Supervisor
I've had 2-4 interviews for this role so far since they are really focused on hiring the right person. I just finished my second interview and think it went well, so I'm expecting to hear back from them soon about their decision. They've been super quick with each step and really good at keeping me in the loop. The interviewers were friendly and did a nice job of setting expectations from the start. The questions were pretty standard interview questions about past experiences and situations. Nothing tricky or designed to catch you off guard. It was a good interview with plenty of chances for me to ask my own questions. I've interviewed people before, so I know how this usually goes, and the folks at Rad Power Bikes are clearly very skilled.
- Can you share an experience of handling an escalated customer call and how you managed the situation?
- Recount a time when you had to go against standard company policy. What did you do and why?
IT Technician
The process began with a recruiter call where they discussed the company and hiring procedure, and I confirmed my availability to start in a month. The recruiter then asked me to apply for the role. Following this, there was a meeting with the IT Lead in Seattle. Subsequent interviews included two other IT Team members and a representative from the Netherlands. While appointments were scheduled quickly, the position was filled over a month later. I had to follow up multiple times to learn about the outcome, which was disappointing given the initial speed. The feedback was that I lacked sufficient experience, despite the job description outlining only basic IT skills, whereas the discussions revealed a need for more advanced capabilities.
