Why do you want to work at ElevenLabs?

"I got into ElevenLabs through a connection and the whole process moved pretty fast, about two weeks end to end. My loop was recruiter screen, a timed coding assessment, a live coding interview in a Google Doc, a customer-style case study, and then a CTO/founder interview. The consistent theme was that they wanted strong individuals, not people who hide behind team language, and they mixed behavioral questions into basically every round. The coding and case rounds were on the harder, more signal-driven side, while the founder round felt a bit off-topic and oddly fuzzy about the actual role definition. I passed the interviews and got a verbal yes, but I ended up not getting the final offer."

"I got in through a referral, and the process was pretty clean: a casual recruiting chat, a 90-minute CoderPad, and then a final loop split across a few interviews. They also sent a PDF on what to expect, which I appreciated. The OA was just two LeetCode-medium-ish problems, but the final round was more product-heavy than I expected for a backend-leaning SWE role: a product-focused behavioral, a practical coding round based on a dubbing review workflow, and a product decomposition/system design round on basically that same workflow. I was more nervous than I needed to be, and overall it was not crazy hard, but the product decomposition round was the one thing that felt genuinely new. I made it to the final round and then got rejected."
