recently went through the interview process at Braze, and overall, it was a smooth and well-organized experience. The coordinators were prompt, the interviewers were thoughtful, and the scheduling was handled efficiently. Each round felt structured and fair, and I genuinely enjoyed the conversations.
That said, despite performing well in all my interviews (I received full positive feedback), I was ultimately rejected after two rounds with hiring managers. The reason provided was that they were looking for someone with a more senior background based on past experience, which was disappointing. It felt disheartening to be judged primarily on prior titles rather than demonstrated capability during the process.
I still appreciate the professionalism of the team, but I hope future evaluations place more weight on actual interview performance and potential rather than just resume history.
