Interview
Be prepared. An applicant must have an understanding of the competitive landscape and where MemSQL fits in to the bigger picture. The actual interview process is a relaxed one, but the questions and level of detail that are expected from an applicant are weighed heavily. This is a great company to work for and they take care of those that make it through the process, but it is not something to be taken lightly.

MemSQL is big on buy-in. Culture is very important, so interviews span across different functional groups to make sure that you are a fit. This means that it is more difficult than a typical sales interview, because you must actually understand where the technology fits in the market. It also makes for a better mutual fit.
