I had applied through AngelList for an open Operations position during the Christmas holidays. I didn’t think I would hear back for a couple of weeks, but was followed up with an email after just about 15-20 minutes (startup speed!). Within that week, we had scheduled in a phone interview/Hangouts with their VP of Growth. Step 1: Google Hangouts to learn more about each other; about SnapTravel, the company vision, what I’ve been up to, how my skillset could translate to the company; about me as a person and what I’m looking for, etc. Step 2: I was provided with a case study with some questions, as well as an Excel Data exercise pertaining to the role itself. It gave me a better idea of what the role entailed and what the company can expect. Part of the case study included quantitative analysis; while a portion of it was related to situational questions – to gain more psychology insight into the candidate. Step 3: I was brought in for an in-person interview with the VP Growth to meet and go over the case study in-person. I was able to present my answers and validate my thinking. Step 4: 2nd week into the process, I was brought in for an in-person interview with the co-founders (CEO and CTO). I also had the ability to ask questions and learn more about the different areas of the business from marketing, development, customer support, etc. Step 5: A week after this (3rd week I applied), the CEO reached out and asked to go for coffee. He wanted to re-iterate the role, ensure that I was on board, then congratulated me with an offer. Overall, it was a very transparent and great experience! Even if I wasn’t hired, I would’ve appreciated the time and effort involved from the leadership and the ability to learn more about them and the business!

Brett was super easy to get along with and very efficient. The process went smoothly, however, I did not get the job in the end. Overall, a positive experience and will keep in touch.
