I applied online. I interviewed at BeyondCurious in Jun 2017
Interview
I applied through Indeed and received an email about wanting to schedule an interview. I replied back and waited almost a week to hear a response. The email was short, no formal salutation or signature, and contained spelling and grammar errors. They asked if a certain time and date to do a video call would work for me. I replied that it would work and asked what type of platform we would use to interview (Skype, Facetime, etc.). The interview date had come and passed and I received no call or email to follow up. I emailed them a few days later and was very polite. I expressed my apologies that we had missed our interview (even though I was ready and waiting by the phone for over an hour). A few more days passed and still no response. I sent one final email asking them to call me and have not received anything to this date.
I find it extremely unprofessional that an organization would express interest in an applicant and arrange an interview only to never reach out to the applicant again. If this is any indication of the type of company this is, I would steer clear.

Question 1
No questions were asked, as I did not even get my interview.
I applied online. I interviewed at BeyondCurious (Los Angeles, CA) in May 2017
Interview
I applied online and then was invited to an intern meet and greet a couple weeks later. I attended the meet and greet where I met many other applicants, current employees, and learned about the company's mission and culture. A few weeks after this I had one hour long interview (electronic, because I was coming from out of state). This was part case-study, part behavioral interview.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at BeyondCurious in Sept 2016
Interview
The entire process spanned 4 separate interviews with all leadership team members at BeyondCurious.
Phone Screen: (30 Minutes)
Great kickstart to the interview process. Interviewer was timely and asked engaging questions about my background, project experience, and aspirations for the future. I was allowed ample time to discuss my approach to project management and how I thought I could be helpful to the growth of the company. Getting to speak to one of the leaders at the company during a screen was a huge positive that gave me confidence that I would be valued in my new role.
Culture Fit Interview: (1 Hour)
About a week later, I was invited to the office to meet with 3 team members for the culture fit interview. I was asked questions about what drives me, my passion for technology, consulting, and project management. This interview was an opportunity for me to ask questions about BeyondCurious, the culture, the people, etc. Overall, the interview was casual and was asked a couple fun questions throughout. (Favorite boy band, song, etc)
Case Study: (2 Hours)
About a week later, I was invited in for my skills interview. I was given one hour, a case study sheet, and the entire room full of writeable walls and stickies to prepare my approach and plan to solve for the case study. I spent the 2nd hour reviewing and discussing my plan with 2 leaders from the company.
CEO Interview: (1 Hour)
Shortly after, I was invited back to speak with the CEO for a 1 hour interview. This interview consisted of thoughtful questions about my background and why I am the person that I have become and how I see my future unfolding at BeyondCurious. She helped me understand the mission of BC and what drives everyone who works here. This was my opportunity to ask questions about the culture at BC and understand what has driven BC's CEO to build such an awesome company.
Overall, the entire process was very professional, yet clearly represented the culture at BeyondCurious. I was extremely excited for my offer and accepted immediately.
