Flywheel Interview Questions

This was a 2.5 hr interview where I met with 7 staff members and talked about design process, weaknesses, what I’m looking for, about the job and flywheel. Pretty generic interview questions with some random questions seemed like they were after more of a culture fit than a fit based on qualifications. Also seemed like they were looking for confirmation on how things should be done from other role perspectives...it was a bit odd. Overall seem like a friendly group of people but some of the questions asked and the fact that it was 2.5 hrs long was mentally draining for me.

30 minutes phone call with recruiter. Recruiter was kind and easy to talk to. He asked about the sales process I use and other general get-to-know-you questions. I did not move to the second round. As others have said, when I asked for feedback I did not receive any kind of response. Other places have responded very thoughtfully and in depth with feedback. So it is disappointing that Flywheel does not take the time to give valuable feedback. I’m not sure why they do t so it or if they are not equipped to provide professional feedback.

Phone interview then brings you in for a 3 hour, multi-panel group of people. Stupid children with their stupid questions. They are looking for someone to fit in with them, not a true associate.

I had a 30 minute interview with the recruiter and then a 2.5 hour recruiter with 9 staff members. It was separated out: 1) 30 minutes - PMs 2) 45 minutes - Supervisor and CPO 3) 45 minutes - Product Designers 4) 30 minutes - Engineering team Each group's questions varied. Some were design-related and career-related, but some were also personal questions that I felt had nothing to do with the position. I felt like I wasn't being asked questions that could help me prove that I'd be the best candidate, so I had to weave the answers I had prepared for them into other questions. The timeframe was super short and I had to be mentally on for 2.5 hours in a row which was super tough.

Phone screen, then several rounds of video conferencing with various teams, CEO etc. Received a generic unsuccessful email following the final round, no feedback offered and blatantly ignored when following up about it.

The initial job application included 5-6 questions related to providing support to users of Flywheel. After a week, I was invited to an initial video interview. My first interview was postponed, as the interviewer was late due to a previous meeting. We rescheduled, and my video interview lasted 45 minutes. It’s was fairly informal, as it was more of a “get to know you” chat. Interviewer answered many of my questions before I needed to ask, and was open to answer most of mine. Overall, I found it a positive interview and I’m happy I had the opportunity to chat.

I was invited to have a 30 minute chat over Zoom video, the interviewer was excellent. I felt the interview went great and it ran longer then the allotted time with lots of in-depth questions aswell as a thorough run through of what the role would involve. Unfortunately I was not put forward to the 2nd panel interview stage and I was not given any explanation as to why.

Applied online. Received an email to schedule a phone interview from the head of Talent Acquisition. Phone interview was short and the interviewer called late and seemed ill-prepared. Interviewer had very few questions that seemed valuable and was unable to answer questions related to the position, such as: scope of role, responsibilities, expectations, salary range. Interviewer simply answered that he didn't know. Call ended quickly after I shared my salary expectations.

After submitting my application I was offered a date for a conference call with their recruiter and another member of their team. I had two video conference interviews in total. The second I spent about 10 minutes talking to several of their senior team in turn.

Applied online, received a calendar invite for a phone interview from recruiter a couple days later, spent half hour on phone interview going over experience high level, received an invitation to interview in person for the following week. Interview lasted 3 hours with several groups of people including president, recruiter, managers, tech leads, and a peer lead lunch to assess cultural fit. Received an offer the next day.
