Behavioral Case Presentation
Had an intro call with Szymon Kubicki that had a great vibe. Then interviewed with Thomas Seidel, who asked solid questions and we had a good conversation about the authentic culture. My second interview was with Tobias Dahm, and the chemistry was great as we discussed shared values and ambitions. This led to a panel interview with 4 people. I prepped a case study for this and executed it well, showing attention to detail and presentation skills. The final interview was with Wendi Sturgis, and we clicked immediately, making me fall in love with the company. The process length was ideal and helped me decide to leave my previous company, Salesforce.

Behavioral Technical
I wasn't really informed about the hiring process. I had a first phone call with a recruiter that lasted about 40 minutes. We talked about my background and analyzed my skills for the position. My profile seemed to fit, so I asked about the next steps at the end of the interview. Even though there was a good fit, the recruiter mentioned that the potential blocker could be that I spent over 20 years at the same company!

Behavioral Presentation Other
The whole thing took about 3 weeks. I talked to a recruiter, the hiring manager, and then there were 1-2 panel interviews, a presentation, a behavioral interview, and a final chat with the AVP. Everyone I spoke with was respectful, smart, and genuine. Yext has a great culture and the interview process was the best I've experienced.
