Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Benchling (Oakland, CA)
Colloquio
Well structured interview process with multiple members of the CX team. The recruiter was very thoughtful and made the experience very easy. The interviews themselves were challenging but interesting, with multiple presentations and 1:1 formats.

Colloquio
Headhunted by an external recruiter then had four interviews directly with Benchlings, two with internal recruiters and two with hiring managers all lasting approx. 30 mines. The interviews were general chats going through and asking technical questions and why you would fit into the company.
The feedback I got from the recruiter was i) They had a large pool of candidates ii) I didn’t show enough reasoning for making this career move. I read all the reviews on glassdoor, watched their presentations on YouTube, download the software, read all the blurb of expected IPO, and demonstrated that in the four interviews. This was contradictory to the feedback they gave the recruiter.
If someone has made an effort to attend four interviews, at least have the respect of giving credible feedback. It bring doubts to mind about the whole process, bearing in mind that the this was a headhunted application on my behalf.

General questions about talkking through cv and what you would bring to the company, nothing they asked me was out of the blue.
