1. 30 minute phone call with HR 2. 30 minute video call with hiring manager 3. Take home business case study on Landing. I was asked to produce a 3-5 year financial model (P&L) and powerpoint and to turn in within the week. The case study had a couple of KPIs, incomplete data sets, etc. I think the purpose of this exercise is to see how you think or work through obscure data. As a start-up, a lot of the processes will not be in place and there isn’t a lot of historic data to base financial assumptions off. a. This exercise took about 3 hours including researching and formulating ideas 4. I had a 15 minute check-in with the hiring manager to see if I was on track. He gave some feedback and a little more information on how landing operates (timing of inventory, how install costs work, etc). It’s an extremely short time to get the full picture of Landing’s business model. I found this to be the hardest part of the exercise. In the panel interview they asked very specific budget questions so try and get as much info as you can out of this 15 minute check-in. 5. I guess the case study passed because I was then scheduled for a three hour video interview with the finance team. First hour as a panel then 30 minutes with each. A couple of things about my experience. I really liked the hiring manager but, to be frank, I found the CFO to be beyond rude. I asked about cash burn and additional financing and he made me feel idiotic by scoffing and laughing at answers and questions. These are normal finance start-up questions so I'm still stumped on why he responded in such a rude way. That was really within the first 30 minutes. After that, I just felt so unconfident and uncomfortable. It really put me off my A game. I left that interview feeling TERRIBLE. FYI, this is an all male finance team. But, to all the interviewees out there, don’t let one bad interview get you down. If you leave an interview feeling awful about yourself then it probably isn’t a good fit. As my mentor told me after this interview, don't forget you are interviewing the company as much as they are interviewing you. It needs to be a good fit both ways! I ended up getting 3 offers shortly after this and one from a Fortune50 company. Be confident in your responses and don't let the CFO push you around (hindsight is 20/20). You got this and good luck!
