WorkBoard Interview Questions
& Process

The interview process was pretty fast and straightforward. The interviewers were nice. First, there was a phone call with some general technical questions. Then, the onsite interview was more in-depth, involving coding with both frontend and backend questions. They asked for specific details about different technologies and how they were implemented. I got an offer pretty quickly, but it wasn't competitive. It was just base salary with optional stock, no bonus. The base salary was like what I got right after college. They didn't negotiate, and it felt like a lowball offer.

I had about four rounds of interviews, and it was an overall positive experience! First, I met with a recruiter for a general screening. Then, I met with my future boss to learn more about the role and scope of work. Then, I had two behavioral interviews with peers and other colleagues cross-functionally. My final round was a solo demo of the product to my future manager and peers (posing as fake customers). It was a really positive experience and everyone was super friendly and encouraging.

This was one of the worst interviews I've had. The hiring manager was late calling, which showed a lack of respect for my time. She kept focusing on how I drive attendance to events, even after I explained that my events are large, public tradeshows where the event organizers handle promotion, not individual attendees. She seemed stuck on this point and I eventually had nothing more to say. I would have been happy to discuss my strategy for promoting Workboard's events if she had asked that instead. She insisted on trying to find a reason why I didn't have this experience at my current company, which is one of the largest tech companies in the world. I'm glad I ended the interview as I wouldn't want to work for her or the company.

The recruiting team was super friendly. They set up an interview with the CMO, but before that, they asked me to do some homework: watch videos, read up on the company, and get ready for the call. I put in the time to prepare. When the interview time came, I logged in, but the CMO never showed up. There was no apology and no explanation for why she missed it. The recruiting team did apologize a lot, but I decided not to go further with the process or reschedule. I figured the CMO was either super disorganized or didn't respect the effort I put into prepping for our chat. I don't want to work for someone like that, especially in a director-level position. It was weird because they reached out to me first, and she seemed uninterested in interviewing me.
