Notion interview questions

I had a genuinely great interview experience with Notion. Compared to a competitor I interviewed with around the same time, the Notion team was far more personable, welcoming, and authentic—it really stood out. Every conversation felt thoughtful and human, not overly scripted or transactional. It honestly made walking away from the opportunity incredibly difficult. The only reason I didn’t move forward was due to the in-office requirement. If remote work had been an option, I’d be working at Notion in a heartbeat. The team, culture, and mission all left a lasting impression.

Honestly, this was a highly disappointing interview process. What Notion calls a "prioritization interview" is not a genuine prioritization interview by industry standards. Facebook, Amazon, Netflix, etc, all have these interview types and they're appropriately labeled/categorized, explained, and articulated to interviewees beforehand. Thus, I came into the interview unprepared for the interview type Notion had planned. Furthermore, the additional details about the interview format within the resource site were minimal, ambiguous, and misleading. I hope you guys seriously reevaluate your resources and are able to better equip interviewees and set them up for success. Just to cite an example of a better practice (by a much smaller start-up than Notion), interviewees receive a small deck breaking down the interview stages, attributes that are going to be tested across the interview, and the stakeholders holding interviews across the entire process. Again, I felt short-changed in the process and I am candidly frustrated that I spent time preparing for a different interview type that left me feeling unprepared when I walked in.
