The first interview was with a hiring manager who was so kind and knowledgeable about the company and role. After the first interview, I was scheduled to speak with the Team Lead who would end up being my direct manager. Although I didn't know at the time this person would be my manager, I later realized how much I appreciated this step in the process, as it grew the relationship with my manager before I even started, and more importantly, helped in determining if I would be the right-fit for the team. My favorite part of the interview process was the third round, where members of my immediate team would be interviewing me for a culture-fit assessment. In the interview I connected with the team and was able to provide answers to their behavior-based questions. From that point on, I felt super connected with the Braze Team and was looking forward to my fourth and final interview—the mock test project. This interview was a 45 minute presentation to a Braze 'client' (my future manager, director and teammates) about recommendations we had for them on how they could further expand their usage of Braze. This was a huge challenge and made me even that much more excited to join the team. The entire interview process was wonderful—everyone from start to finish was so professional, personable and kind, and they pushed you to be your very best and challenged you every step of the way.
