Behavioral Presentation

The interview process was really straightforward and everyone I met was super friendly. I went through 5 interviews in total. The first was with a Senior Talent Acquisition Partner, Andrew Havens, who was fantastic. Then I met with the Hiring Manager, followed by the VP. After that, I had a pitch session for the Hiring Manager and the VP. Finally, I interviewed with the CEO.

Behavioral Case Presentation

It was pretty casual and a bit all over the place, but the timeline was fast. The team was really responsive and worked around my schedule. It's a small company, so you talk to lots of different people, including important ones like the CRO and CEO. They really care about culture, so it was about seeing if you had the wit and if you'd fit into their "Samba Family."

Behavioral Technical

The interview process was straightforward, with a screener with HR first, then an interview with the Associate Account Executive's director. However, after reaching the third round, the candidate was ghosted despite multiple follow-ups. The advice given is to at least respond to candidates who offer their time.
