First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at SRAM.
Intern
The interview process had 2 rounds, consisting of basic "tell me about a time" type questions. After my final round, the recruiter ghosted me even though I was promised a follow-up. I asked for feedback on my interview and how I could improve for the future after being rejected, and they ghosted me again. They were very communicative during the interview process, but once they decided against hiring me, they seemed to not care at all.
- Why are you interested in working with us?
- Suppose you received crucial information with a one-week deadline; how would you approach learning it within that timeframe?
Engineer
The interview process started with a video call screening and a Behavioral Personality Index test. This was followed by 4 separate one-hour interviews, primarily focused on behavioral questions. While not heavily technical, each interview session had a distinct focus, influencing the nature of the questions asked. The people I interviewed with were generally great, but the company's leadership seems to have issues with arrogance and a lack of respect, contradicting their stated value of leaving egos at the door. Additionally, the compensation appears to be significantly below market rates.

- Can you tell me about an accomplishment you are most proud of?
Position Whitheld
Had two phone interviews that were very straightforward. Then had a Skype interview with HR and a future colleague, which was pretty easy. After that, I was asked to fly to Chicago. I had to buy my own airplane ticket but was told I could get reimbursed. SRAM made hotel arrangements at a nice hotel. When I checked out, I was told I had to pay the hotel bill with my credit card, even though SRAM booked it. So I was already out over $1000 by the time I got to the interview. Sorry, this is wrong. I had my interviews, which were fairly straightforward and easy. The last one was with HR. Since no one cared that I had to pay my bills, I bombed the HR interview on purpose. I submitted my expenses the next day, and they took 2 weeks to pay them. Again, this is wrong, don't assume candidates have extra money.
- Can you demonstrate your experience in the relevant field?
Software Engineer
First, there was a standard HR interview. Then, I had a take-home assignment to complete. After that, we did a walkthrough of an example situation. They asked about my experience working on software projects with others, my technical skills in Linux and Python, and about projects listed on my resume.
- Which Linux command do you think is the most helpful?
- Tell me about your experience working collaboratively on software projects.
- What are your technical skills and experience with Linux and Python?
