Interview
I applied and received an invitation to a screening video chat within 24 hours.
I was a little wary of the interview process as I read through previous Glassdoor reviews. I have to agree it’s a less than ideal experience. The interview itself was probably one of the strangest I’ve had and it felt like waste of time when it ended. The recruiter came across as slightly unprofessional in appearance and tone, and I was rushed through my answers. The questions themselves focused more on what I’d consider negatives than my professional qualifications such as why did you leave all of your previous employers (and yes, I went through them, which seemed irrelevant) and asked me what a professional failure was. Didn’t seem like screening call kind of questions. I was declined a few days later.
I had a phone screen with a recruiter, and then I met with the hiring manager to talk about the role and core responsibilities. After that, I went through a round of interviews with team members from content marketing, product marketing, product management, and dev relations/community.

Interview
They first send a available slots after slot selection interview run through remote connection. After a nice interview they won't advance apply without explanation that was frustrating and unethical. Not suits company openness vision.

Interview
Lack of communication - even though it says in their own Handbook to follow up with applicants. I got a video screening interview scheduled met with a recruiter online and answered her questions. Got an email the next day asking for a written sample of work. Sent the samples and never heard back. Even after two email follow ups -nada. I would have appreciated a rejection letter as it gives me closure because of the time that I'd invested. I know that they could be busy, but if reflects poorly on the company itself as the lack of communication -even a follow up -suggest that the company is unorganized.
