Finley Technologies interview questions

I completed eight interviews before I was turned down for the role. This included six 30 minute interviews with different team members, one 45 minute excel test, and one 30 minute case study presentation with two team members I'd previously interviewed with. The process started out positively, but several red flags presented themselves: 1. During the initial informational interview, I was told the process would involve two more steps - a 30 minute interview with a VP and the 45 minute technical. I ended up having six additional interviews after this, including a case study. I never would have agreed to the process if I knew it would involve eight interviews. 2. I was sent multiple "final step" emails. 3. It wasn't super clear what they were looking for. I'm not sure they even knew. It was hard to get into any detail in 30 minute interviews, especially when the goals seemed to be shifting. 4. One interviewer was blatantly disrespectful of my time - first, they showed up 15 minutes late to our 30 minute interview slot, and admitted it was for no other reason then they lost track of time. Subsequently, they also showed up late to my case study interview and seemed disinterested and unprepared. I don't want to put one person's mistakes on the whole company, but when a company is this small, it speaks to the culture of the company as a whole if an employee thinks this is acceptable workplace behavior. Most of the people at Finley seemed lovely, but overall I got the vibe that they're a bit all over the place. I know that's somewhat to be expected at startups, but that doesn't excuse unprofessional behavior like showing up late to interviews and being misleading about the interview process.

I interviewed with Finley earlier this year for their first marketing role. It was a great experience! They asked thoughtful questions, made sure I would meet with multiple people on the team, and also offered introductions to customers and investors. Very smart crew that really cares about the candidate experience. Even though I didn't get the offer, they handled it very well. Left with great impressions of the company; they really care about the culture and your time. The interview process was: - Hiring Manager Interview - 2 Peer Interviews - Hiring Manager Interview Pt.2 - Panel to co-founders
