Interview
I was contacted via Linkedin by a recruiter advertising a new position they had - I responded positively and a call was scheduled.
Typical chat about my previous experience and the role itself. Discussed salary expectations and the rough compensation of the role.
That went well and I was invited on site for an in person interview scheduled for 2 days later.
In person interview was 2 hours long, with 4 different people at half an hour each. Everyone was SUPER friendly and down to earth. They definitely had plenty questions for me but they were well thought out and they were insightful and deliberate. This said, the whole thing just felt like a chat with old friends... super relaxed and effective - I felt totally at ease from the minute I walked in the door.
That also went well, and I was invited for a second round of in persons with the founders. I was nverous for this, but unnecessarily so. I met with three of the C guys, and they were all amazingly down to earth, incredibly open and genuinely interested in hearing about me as a person as opposed to an 'interviewee' ... The passion they had for collaboration and working together openly to achieve growing Spiceworks as an awesome company honestly inspired me. I walked way with a huge grin after 2 more hours of interviewing and pumped to get in the door.
My recruiter came back to me next day with an offer, the compensation package was lower than originally discussed, however the company offers such good growth opportunities and an almost weirdly good sense of teamwork/awesome culture it was a no brainer to accept.

Interview
Interview process was standard. First call with the peoples team and then the hiring manager. The call with the hiring manager went well over the allotted time. However, the hiring manager was very nice. Pretty standard questions were asked and it was a pleasant experience.

Interview
Started with a phone screen. Went well and was asked to come in for an in person “panel” interview to pitch the solution to a group. Included a few mangers, and another Account exec. I was told I did very well and I would be contacted within the next week or two as to whether or not they were going to move forward with an offer. More than two months has gone by with no update. I to appear to have been ghosted, which is a bummer because I was really looking forward to working here.

Interview
Interview is really long, but ends up helping you understand why you should be there. You will sit down with at least 8 people throughout the interview process and you must get a yes from all of them.
