I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at KPMG (Washington, DC) in Feb 2022
Interview
What are the pros and cons (qualitatively) of extending the Bridge round of funding to Fast Ion Battery from John’s (WSC) perspective? Be sure to consider real options. What is the likely power/relationship dynamic between Donna and John? How might John’s personal incentives diverge from the best interest of WSC? Given the size/stage of life of Donna’s and John’s funds, how well does Fast Ion fit? Will they need new investors later and what does this say about the financing risk that lies ahead if the Bridge is extended?
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Consider the proposed warrants and pay-to-play provisions in the Bridge funding agreement (Exhibit 4). How would implementation of these provisions affect the ownership of each VC and the returns each VC will receive upon a successful exit of the company (qualitatively)? Assume Bluelock would not participate in the Bridge and WSC and Franconia would split what would have been Bluelock’s share.
With one manager and one director, both behavioural and technical questions were asked, still manageable I think, and can prepare beforehand on resume base on the experiences, need to be familiar enough
I had two rounds of interview with a hiring manager or the Director. The questions were more behavioural based. It was a well paced interview process, following which I received an offer.
The interview was smooth, consisting of three rounds with straightforward questions. It was a positive experience, with no issues encountered throughout the process. Overall, it was a good interview and I would recommend working here.
