Without question, the most eclectic interview process I have ever been through. There are many rounds and Ashby is very transparent about this (recruiter, then hiring manager, case study, hiring manager again, almost 3 hours of panels, hiring manager, founder). I appreciated that in theory, they are trying to hire talent they believe represent strong "cultural fits". That said, though there are resources one can review to learn what a "cultural fit" is for them, I am unable to pin down beyond certain written norms and "principles" what their "culture" actually "is" from the standpoint of enacted behavioral values based on those whom I met. Some interviewers were very open and keenly interested in probing how I thought about problems. I had some of the best professional conversations I have had in my life with them. In contrast, I came away from conversations with other leaders with the strong impression that I would not want to work or refer someone in my network to work at Ashby because they were so blatantly rude. I spoke with two leaders, the most notable from Sales, who gave clear impressions that they did not want to be interviewing me. This was very apparent based on them texting, constantly checking their phone, and typing/squinting at the computer while doing other work during our call. The person from Sales did not make eye contact with the camera during 99% of our 'conversation' and another seemed completely annoyed by their assigned task of speaking with me from the nanosecond they jumped on the call. A few interviewers afforded constant interruptions before I even got 10 seconds into responding to their complex, multi-layered questions, adding layers upon layers to already deep inquiries. A few seemed not to be listening to answers I gave based on their follow ups. Whether or not this was an attempt to test interviewers or if some of them are just difficult people is beyond me. I concluded I would never accept an offer from Ashby after the panel round, but was invited to speak with one of the founders, so I did. I can't say it changed my opinion about the organization one way or another. While I met some of the most arrogant, stand-offish people I have ever encountered in my life during the Ashby process, I met some truly wonderful, thoughtful people as well. I am left a bit baffled at how they co-exist, but that isn't a problem I have to solve for at this point, thankfully.
