Not bad and went pretty fast but didn’t end up getting the job and took awhile for them to let me know. Had to email a bunch and then I eventually found out weeks later.

The email I received prior was very informative and made it easy for me to submit my availability. In the interviews, I was given the opportunity to explain why I wanted to work for Squarespace in this role.

After the second interview, I was told a timeframe of when I would hear back, and I received a job offer the next day!

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Squarespace (Aveiro) in Sep 2023

Interview

First, you get to interview for a technical problem. One hour. Then, straight to onsite (virtually). In onsite, there are 4 different interviews (leadership, data structures and algorithms, system design and pr review). Really good recruiters and the process was lovely and smooth.

Initial Call with HR went well, second round with the Staff TPM whom I would have replaced. They indicated the interview went very well and were keen to continue. Day of third interview they told me in an unprofessional way that the meeting was canceled.

QC Specialist II

When someone says “We are eager to fill this position, we have no timeline but it should not drag out,” what are the chances I’m selected? This was at the third round interview, last Tue (5d ago) when I was told I should hear from HR next. The job was posted 30+ days ago. I applied for it on 10/22 and the interview process started 11/6 with an HR screening phone call.

Cloud Performance Engineering Lead

Workday interview tips needed. The role I am applying to is a site reliability engineer role. I am not sure what to expect. Of course it’s a technical role so I do expect those questions. I am wondering if they go extra hard and how many rounds? I read somewhere that they do 5 rounds. Either way any tips are@welcome.
