Optimism Foundation interviews FAQs
The hiring process at Optimism Foundation takes an average of 7 days when considering 3 user submitted interviews across all job titles. To compare, the average duration of hiring at similar companies like BlackRock, Inc. is 14 days, Fabricated Software, Inc. is 2 days, and Apple Inc. is 21 days. Candidates applying for Head of Strategy had the quickest hiring process (on average 7 days), whereas Head of Strategy roles had the slowest hiring process (on average 7 days).
I was approached about this job in the past via email from "H" and saw it opened up again, as the last Head of Security left the org (first red flag). Reached out to "H" by email, Linkedin, applied online, sent resume via email, and wasn't even offered a hey thanks after multiple follow ups (second red flag). Response was handled completely unprofessional and I have a good idea of why the last security rockstar left the org.
Be careful here guys as talent is fleeing and unprofessional folks without actual real business experience are in "leadership" positions.
Very pessimistic outlook for Optimism.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Optimism Foundation in Jan 2024
Interview
Optimism was very quick to respond to my application, scheduling an interview within a week of sending my application. The initial interview was just to go through CV, motivation for applying, and explain further about the role. We agreed the role likely wasn't a good fit as the interviewer said herself that they were looking for someone who could in effect be Chief of Staff, take notes during meetings, schedule off-sites etc. Outside of the apparent mismatch between job description and responsibilities, the process seemed well-run, the subsequent stages would involve speaking with the direct manager, do a case interview about airdrop approach and such.
