The process was well-structured, starting with a recruiter screen followed by a deep dive with the hiring manager and a final "super day" involving cross-functional stakeholders (Engineering, Sales, and Supply Chain). What went well was the alignment on product vision; I was able to demonstrate how my technical background helps bridge the gap between complex chemical solutions and digital customer tools. What didn’t go well was the initial technical case study—it was more data-heavy than I anticipated, requiring a very quick pivot to explain how I’d prioritize features under tight regulatory constraints.

Recruiter was good at communicating throughout and the interviewers seemed really engaged in the process. Excitable about their space. There is a product design portion where, given a prompt and UX snippet, users are asked to design a solution to the prompt. You are given about 30 min and then are grilled on that. There’s a basic analysis portion ensuring you can read basic data and infer decisions.

The process was more rigorous than anything I’d done at other big tech companies, but the recruiter was accurate and helpful in guiding preparation, which I really appreciated. A few things caught me off guard: one round had unexpected case-style questions that weren’t mentioned beforehand. Overall, the structure was fair, and the interviewers were professional, though the pacing felt a bit rushed at times.

Straight forward, easy behavior, one system design. Overall similar to how Amazon interviews. HM was bit tough, I couldn't read if she is interested or if she is forced to interview me. But Skip, and everyone else were super nice.

Process was smooth. Recruiter was incredible and very communicative. They provided good verbal feedback and enough tips on each round to adequately prepare. People I interviewed with were all kind and seemed neutral vs certain companies where it feels like they want you to fail.

The process was a part of campus recruiting. The interviewers created a comfortable environment and the rounds were conversational. 30-40% of the interview time was dedicated towards behavioural fit questions.

Answered effectively, they were looking more for an international experience (Asia) and the job description didn't mention

It was very straightforward and wasn’t too bad, although it depends on the interviewer. For the intern roles, they aren’t expecting as much from the candidate and want to hear your thinking out loud.

The process was pretty straightforward. Interviews were primarily focused on behavioural types of questions and my past work experience. I had a list of STAR stories prepared.
