I applied online. I interviewed at Typeform (Barcelona) in Jan 2017
Interview
I submitted my application through the company site. There was a Typeform form developed for the application. Along with submitting a CV, the form requested work samples and various ways of showing your abilities. Following this I was contacted by human resources to schedule a face-to-face interview. They were very flexible in scheduling a time and this was done by me submitting my availability on a calendar. The face-to-face interview was between a human resources member and a team leader in the position's department. It was on premise and the Typeform offices are very cool. There is a bar at the entrance happy to serve you a drink while you wait. Very chill and welcoming atmosphere. The interview lasted about an hour. In the end, the position was not a great fit for what I wanted, nor was I a great fit for the position so this was the end of the process.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Some of the questions were to name past professional challenges, to identify and describe my personal working habits (team-oriented, independent, etc.). It was a very conversational interview with a good back and forth of my own inquiries and their own.
The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Typeform
Interview
Position was positioned as team manager, then during the interview process changed to an IC.
Assignment was required. They used it for data mining.
Partnership team members were not engaging in interviews. They just wanted information from candidate (me) to help them solve some of their business challenges.
Mediocre interview experience.
I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Typeform (Barcelona)
Interview
The longest process ever (in my life I have done a lot of interviews): 7 STEPS!
Please be certain of the number of rounds you will have to go through. And the order of the interviews is VERY important: please ensure you get to be interviewed by the hiring and top managers early on in the process. This is because they will ask you to prepare a presentation (for which I received good feedback, just like every earlier step of the process) and put some good hours of work for it, for then having a final round with the top manager (who was also present during the presentation step) who could have the power to basically destroy in 30 min the hours you dedicated to the earlier stages of the process.
I have learned that I will never ever, in my professional future, accept to do a presentation if there is still another final and decisive step with a top manager, especially if that person was already present in earlier stages.
