6 hours? WTF is this shit?
We do 30 minute blocks with your boss, one director + one developer, one with the CTO and then the wrap up with the internal recruiter.
The other departments do roughly the same (finance does comptroller + one of your coworkers at the same level instead of director + developer)
Edit: We also make sure to allow the candidate to get some water, pee breaks and take them out for lunch (if it happens it to be during the lunch time)
- joshuamorton 6y agoThe interview loop is generally 4-5 45 minute to 1-hour interviews + a 1 hour lunch. You get bathroom/water breaks etc. Each interview is rubric-based and related to job skills.
- nobodyandproud 6y agoIt depends on the company. Startups and teams with autonomy are more informal. The main things they care about are: 1. Can you do the job (and do it well)? 2. Are you really interested? 3. Are you batshit crazy, or can you work with the tiny/close team? Large companies put you through the grinder. My most unpleasant interview experiences were with some very big names (but not all are like this). I’m not a good fit for small companies, I don’t have the desire to study for FAANGs anymore (a week of studying isn’t enough), and I’ve personally had great luck with medium sized ones. YMMV.
