Behavioral

I was in awe of Sequoia's process! Over the course of a few days, I met with a variety of different people within the company. Everyone was so friendly and inviting, they made me feel like I belonged there. One of the best parts of the process was that I never got asked the same questions twice. As an interviewee it can get repetitive answering the same questions, this never happened when I interviewed at Sequoia. After each interview I feel like they got to know not only me as a professional but me as an individual. By far the best interview experience I have ever had.

I got in touch with Sequoia through a connection of someone who works there. There were 5 rounds of interviews in total. It included a coffee chat, a breakfast meeting, 2 interviews at their office with a few different people, and then a final interview with the CEO. The whole process felt very smooth, they got back to me quickly, and everyone I met was really nice and helpful.
