5 Rounds of Interviews. 4/5 are conversations, 1 is a take home project presentation.
The four conversations are standard and IMO, while plentiful very beneficial to understand the work you'll be doing and who you will be interacting with. This is a small company so getting along with everyone is extremely important. This is something I value so I didn't mind how many interviews there were. I spoke with a recruiter, the hiring manager, marketing and SEO, and a member of the C-Suite directly in my interviews. Each one touched on relevant topics for the person I was speaking with.
- Recruiter: What I was seeking in a new role, previous experience
- Hiring Manager: How my previous experience related to the current role, how I would solve relevant issues/go about doing relevant tasks, things I was confident in related to the role.
- Marketing / SEO: Cross team collaboration skillset, communication with the different teams, problem solving across teams
- C-Suite: Company questions, final questions, and an open table for you to interview the "company" in depth.
The take home was a project where you were given a set of features to prioritize and explain why you did so. It is pretty open ended and it was clearly demonstrated that it was meant to have the team understand how you think versus a "right answer".
Overall, the process was great and the entire team is TRULY open for questions the whole way through. Take advantage of their open door during the process to better prepare yourself! They really take the time to get to know candidates and it really shows. I thoroughly enjoyed their process.
