The interview process

Described in candidates’ own words.

The interview process is grueling and I get why people do it, but it’s more awareness, know that you’ll spend an entire day and meet several people, so it’s important to be mentally and physically prepared. Eat a good breakfast but not heavy, stay hydrated. This was just for a PM role, it’s their standard process, I imagine executive level is another thing altogether.Candidate-reported process
Very smooth, thoughtful interview process. It showed the recruiter genuinely cared about what I had to contribute and asked really good follow-up clarifying questions. Would definitely recommend everyone to try an interview with them even if it doesn’t work out.Candidate-reported process
It was a good experience with an onsite interview. The managers were kind and accomodating with their specific needs to be met for those with passion igniting.Candidate-reported process
