Okay, so the interview process at Manta Sleep has quite a few steps to get through, but let me tell you, it’s totally worth it. I actually appreciated that the length gave me time to figure out if Manta Sleep was the right place for me, just as much as they were assessing my fit for the team. The whole thing was well-structured. It started with a detailed application (put some effort in, seriously!), then a solid chat with the recruiter. The highlight was definitely meeting the CEO. What a great, genuine conversation! It truly felt like we’d known each other for years. After that, they asked me to complete a trial assignment, and this is where Manta Sleep really shines. They paid me for the time it took to complete the pre-hire work! I’ve never had a company do that before, and it was the clearest indication that they genuinely respect your time and commitment. The process ended with a final quick check-in, and I got the offer right then. Was it long? Yes. Was it slow? Not at all. It moved efficiently and the CEO was super responsive. Was it worth it? Absolutely. Now that I’ve joined, I can see the level of talent on the team, and I totally get why they have this thorough process. It's how they manage to be so successful!
