The interview process consisted of three interviews, two in a video call, and one on-site. The process as a whole took about a month, and goes as fast as you are willing. The turnaround between doing an interview and them contacting back with their decision and next steps was about 2 days, and immediately leads into scheduling your next, so the process can be slower or faster depending on your aligned availability. All interviewers were from the department I was applying for. The first video call focused on culture fit, and the second on craft knowledge. The day on-site consisted of many interviews focusing on a wide variety of topics. They provided information on what the topics were and who would be interviewing me well before I flew down, and they provided compensation for all expenses during the trip. All interviews except one were set up as a 2v1, with the exception being what they call an 'origin story' meeting where all interviewers sit in a room with me to go over introductory things such as names, my history, and broad questions. Before I dive into my experiences in specific interviews in detail, I'd first like to say that the process as a whole for me was painless and actually enjoyable! From first contact from the recruiter all the way through my closing emails following my on-site visit communication was for the most part timely, and issues that did arise were resolved with transparency and without stress. To keep things as concise as I can, I'll group my detailed thoughts by topic rather than go tell my experience chronologically. First, interactions with the recruiters was professional yet kept a casual atmosphere. They do a good job mirroring your tone, sending a professional first email and then adjusting based on how you reply. I appreciated this because I personally feel distant if over a dozen emails the use of a formal salutation and closing is sustained. The mutual use of more emotional phrasing and the occasional emoji was well received! Interactions with the interviewers over video differed only a little compared to in person. In both types of interviews, the interviewers try to maintain a more casual and conversational air rather than a strict and structured Q&A. This aligns with my own preference, which worked nicely to give both the interviewers and me a glimpse into who we are as individuals beyond skill set, and kept dead air and awkwardness out of the interviews. The interview where this was least present was the video call on culture fit, but this was because one of the two interviewers wasn't present and so the remaining interviewer had to fill too many roles. By ask questions, responding, and take clear notes during the interview, his attention was forced to split, making interaction more difficult for me. In addition to the casual demeanor of the interviewers, everyone was also very honest in how they talked and acted to me and around me. I didn't feel like there were any secrets I should have been made aware of. It was clear that we were both seeing if we were a good fit for each other, and not faking a more appealing version of ourselves. I was free to ask questions like why the job position was available in the first place. They gave me the clear and concise history that led to the position opening, which was a good sign that there wasn't anything within the team that they were trying to hide from me. Ultimately, they showcased the kind of team members that they were and the atmosphere they maintain at work. Because I fit into that atmosphere, my responses felt easy regardless of if I knew the right answer because I felt like I had no reason to not be honest with them. I didn't end up getting the position, but they did offer me a call for feedback and ultimately me not getting the position was purely experience. They provided some concrete next steps if I still wanted to improve myself and pursue this position in the future, and left a line of contact for me to reach out if I needed to down the line. This method probably softened the blow of not landing the position as much as anything could, and so I can safely say this was a positive interview experience in the end.
