Difficult Interview
Application
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at GitLab (Remote, OR) in September 2016.
Interview
I interviewed with very many people at GitLab. I was told upfront that I would need to interview with 10+ hiring managers. I was prepared for the long interview process and was given the access to book with each of them on my own time. It was really hectic because I chose to interview with sometimes three in one day, but with each conversation, I became more excited about the position. The interviewers were really passionate about their jobs and made me feel really at ease. With many I was able to have a really casual conversation. After 10+ interviews, I finally interviewed with the CEO which was intimidating and challenging.
