I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Smartsheet in Dec 2018
Interview
Recruiter reached out via LinkedIn and then I met with the hiring manager who was building a team. They also had some events in Boston that I was unable to attend.
It was a great experience and the interviewers were nice and welcoming. They asked very open ended questions that prompted a well rounded conversation. It was very smooth and easier than expected
