The interview process was quite lengthy for an entry-level role, especially considering the salary wasn't great. It involved 4 interview rounds plus a final presentation. However, it's a good company, so I decided to proceed.

I had four interviews over the course of about four months. Right before my last in-person interview, they told me they were no longer hiring. During the process, I had to take a typing test and research tech trends. The last interview was supposed to be a presentation of my findings.

applied online and had a phone screen, but got rejected during the call. The interviewer asked about my experience with agile and a programming language I hadn't listed on my resume. They also gave a little bit of detail about the team I might have joined.

Behavioral Technical Presentation
Spotlight's interview process is pretty long, but they were upfront about everything. Apparently, since Spotlight is a small company focused on keeping its great culture, they want candidates to meet with several employees from different teams to make sure it's a good fit all around. The company's business is pretty unique and specialized, so a big part of the interview is making sure the candidate really gets what the job involves. It moved fast for me, probably just luck, but I think it can take longer depending on what they need. It was one of the better interview processes I've gone through; each interview had a specific topic and enough time to cover it and get to know each other. Overall, it was a good experience, you can really feel that they're a small, tight-knit, and friendly group.
