I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Conga in Jan 2023
Interview
Absolute worst interview experience I’ve ever had. The recruiter would make commitments for communication by certain dates and ghost me for 10+ days afterward. She told me I would “probably be hired” and regularly scheduled my interviews with less than 24 hrs notice, telling me they were really wanting to extend an offer. I was supposed to only have 3 interviews and was strung along for 2 months and 5 interviews. I would have been okay with it if that was the path that had been communicated to me. However, I was told I would have 3 interviews and should have an answer within 3 weeks. I have never felt so disrespected during an interview process. In the end they said I was a “favorite” but not the chosen candidate. There are clearly issues in the hiring process with this company. It is unfortunate this is the experience that candidates are having.
Fairly simple/standard process I think. 3 interviews if they like you. Manager. Director. Team members. Then you either get offered the job or you don't. There was a bit of a time delay but that's because of the number of applicants I think.

Question 1
What do you think separates you from the rest of the candidates?
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Conga (Indianapolis, IN) in Nov 2022
Interview
My interview process was three rounds. The first was a short virtual interview with the HR Recruiter to ensure I was a good fit for the role. Then I moved on to a longer second-round interview with the Hiring Manager. Lastly, I met with a small panel of closely aligned stakeholders for a culture style interview where I had the chance to meet a few people on the team that I'd be interacting and working closely with. I found it to be a well-rounded process that gave a good picture of the role, aligned teams, and plenty of opportunities to ask questions and get feedback from multiple perspectives. All three rounds happened within a couple weeks and I had an offer within a month of starting the process.

Question 1
It's been a number of years since I completed the interview so I can't say I remember any specific questions across the interviews. I will say I thought they did a nice job of keeping the interview process conversational so it never felt like being grilled or tested on the spot. It was a natural discussion around what the role was, what they felt would make a candidate successful in the position, and how that candidate would be measured in the first year.
