Overall I found Sonder’s interview process to be pretty typical (phone screen with a recruiter, video call with the hiring manager, take home assignment). I initially applied for this role in Nov-Dec so the only negative part of the review is the gap between applying and phone screen was a bit long. The recruiter was friendly and helpful, she did a wonderful job at following up after each step which I appreciated. The homework is pretty challenging, for ops roles it’s definitely going to be more geared towards the hospitality industry (which completely makes sense) than process.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
General questions about background and experience.
3 part homework, first part is about you—>favorite book, dream job, etc. second part, teasers things like how would you ensure no light bulbs were out during guest check in, how would you balance ops efficiency and cost. Third part, involves building models to breakdown how you would track and monitor housekeeping efficiency, cost, and standards.
