I applied online. I interviewed at BetterUp in Feb 2021
Interview
Interview process was great. Very respectful of my time and no one (ever) left me hanging on questions or next steps. By the time I gave them my "yes" I felt confident this was a good choice for me.

Question 1
They ask a lot of questions that are very thoughtful. They aren't all about your hard skills. They're looking to make sure you have those "soft skills" as well.
The entire interview process took about a month. I initially spoke with the recruiter, Courtney, who is without a doubt the best recruiter I have ever worked with. Between managing/hiring a team and interviewing in my life, I’ve worked with a lot. She was exceptionally thorough- covering company, team, job, compensation and laid out the process moving forward so there were no surprises. Next, I met with the hiring manager for 30 min who asked a lot of questions but made sure I was able to get all of my questions answers as well. I would have appreciated more personality during this first meeting if I’m being honest. Felt almost robotic at times. Up next, there is a homework presentation. It took me about 4 days to finish while juggling working full-time. I presented it to the hiring manager which might have been the most fun part for me. After that was concluded, I got to meet a lot more people that I would be working with on a day-to-day basis which gave me a good idea if I could really see myself working here. Then I had a final round interview. LOTS of steps! If you don’t have a flexible working schedule, this will be hard to get through in a month. My personal opinion, it was nice to meet all of the different people but some interviews, like the final one, felt a bit redundant.

Interview
Had initial interview. It was professional, but as others have mentioned the recruiter was cold, and not too personal. I was hesitant to even have the interview based on recent reviews from employees calling the environment toxic, and questioning the culture etc. It left a bad impression with me. Something about this company seems a bit off, at least right now.

Tell me about your past work experience...typical questions. Be ready to give examples.
The process took 2 months. I interviewed at BetterUp
Interview
I applied and finally heard back after a month for a first round interview.
The first interview went really well. A second interview was set up about 1-2 weeks later
This second interviewer was really tough but I felt confident in my answers.
After about a week I was asked to do a take home assessment. I spent about 2-3 days on this and then followed all the steps to submit it. After doing so I never heard confirmation of receiving it all. That was slightly rude given my effort. I then followed through and they confirmed receipt.
Then I was ghosted for weeks!
I finally received an email claiming internal issues and they will get back to me once they figure things out. That has been a couple of weeks and still no word.
I really got my hopes up and wasted hours and effort to be dragged along for over 2 months.
