It was a fun and unconventional interview process! You should be ready to talk about anything from your favorite books to your hobbies in detail. They really want to get a sense of who you are as a person because company culture is super important. Also, expect some interactive activities. The process involved one phone interview and then an in-person interview the following week. They were always clear about what was coming next, so I never felt left in the dark.

Technical Behavioral
I was referred to Xola by a friend who works there. I had a brief 10-15 minute call with basic phone screening questions. It wasn't too hard or challenging. The screening was on Monday, and I was told I'd hear back by Wednesday or the next Monday. Two weeks went by with no word, so I reached out to check on the selections. They had already moved to the final stage. The person I spoke with didn't give a reason for my disqualification. Overall, the experience of how the interview process was handled was distasteful.

Behavioral Presentation
The interview process was great. The team at Xola is really focused on what they need to build a successful team. They structured the interview into two rounds with people from Customer Success and Sales. During the process, they gave real-life scenarios and asked how I would handle them. The whole thing took a few hours and was fun and engaging.

Behavioral Technical Other
You apply online and are emailed pretty soon to set up a phone interview, once you do the phone interview, you're set up with a skype meeting between 2-4 people, and you answer a few questions and talk about your experience. It's very casual and they are looking more for a culture fit than anything else.
