The interview process was pretty straightforward and I had a wonderful experience.
I had:
-A call with the recruiter
-A zoom call with the team lead
-A zoom mock business review
-A zoom call with a few different members of the team
-Then an offer (that I accepted)
A few things that stood out to me:
1. Everyone was very humble and nice
2. The people who work here are SUPER smart A-player professionals
3. The customers love the product and this company is a ROCKET SHIP
Comp package:
As with all job offers, I tried to negotiate but they said there was no wiggle room. That said, I will say I got the sense that they put a lot of thought into the comp package and that it was above market rate. Benefits are also really good. They take really good care of you here.
Culture:
Unlike a lot of the other startups I interviewed with, Gem was very transparent with me (it’s one of their key cultural values).
I accepted the offer because the team is kind and the company is going places. If you’re smart and ambitious - this is THE place to work.
