I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Sonder
Interview
Very long process. People who do the interview were all very nice and interesting. However, the 2 cases (panel interview and challenge) were hard and needed some knowledge in Revenue Management / Pricing. If you're coming from a finance background that won't be enough.
These were the steps / calls:
- HR call & call with a manager : mostly basic questions about your background, experiences, your motivation and so on.
- Call with a stakeholder: same thing just a bit more formal. Prepare your own questions as well to make a good impression
- Challenge to be completed within 48-72hours: this was an excel sheet sent by e-mail where I had a few questions related to pricing strategy I needed to answer to while explaining my reasoning and methodology. Super long exercise. Be prepared to put a lot of time / energy into it.
- Panel interview (case live) : a few graphs presented with questions associated to it. These were made to test my logic / analysis skills live. Found it very hard and the questions were confusing.
- I didn't get to the final stage but apparently it would have been a final call with another stakeholder

Question 1

First was an Initial Interview on the phone. Then a Second Interview on Zoom with someone from the team, Followed by a Detailed Case Study on Pricing Strategy with Review, and Group Interview on Zoom
I applied online. I interviewed at Sonder (Montreal, QC) in Dec 2023
Interview
4 semaines en tout de recrutement avec 2 entretiens + 1 challenge correct mais très long à faire (surtout si vous avez un job très prenant en face) pour à la fin ignorer totalement une fois le challenge terminé. J'ai du quémander une réelle explication en harcelant de courriel et de coup de téléphone. On n'a jamais daigné me répondre. J'ai finalement reçu un courriel de refus. Les raisons données ont été très insuffisantes et très génériques dans ce courriel. Aucun respect du candidat.
