Phone Interview with the recruiter. We did not really discuss anything about the role itself. Most of the questions were about the company culture and where the company is going. After about a 15 minute conversation, we set up an onsite interview.
They were somewhat inflexible with the timing of the onsite. We were aiming for a quick turnaround as far as getting me onsite, so I wasn't too irritated by it. They did offer to push to the next week if needed.
I was escorted to a room by the recruiter and waited for 10 minutes or so for the hiring managers to arrive. The interview itself was solid. They walked me through the company's core values and asked questions related to each of them. They did not ask any follow up questions to the experiences I shared, i.e. digging deeper into the experience for some greater meaning. I appreciated that honestly. They asked questions that I think allowed them to get to know me fairly well in an hour's time.
The hiring managers never really talked about the job duties until I asked about them. They also asked a lot of questions about what I thought about certain sales roles, which was somewhat confusing, but could've indicated that they thought I was a better fit in sales.
Unfortunately, I will never know since the company has a policy of not providing specific feedback to candidates. I have never heard of such a policy before. Every company I have interviewed with has provided some sort of feedback, even if it clearly was general feedback. Not knowing why I was not ultimately selected is my only complaint with the entire process as it hampers my ability to better myself if I follow through on Podium's encouragement that I "apply again in the future." At the end of the day, my assessment is that Podium is a great company with a bright future.
