      Senior Manager Interview

      Declined offer

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Glowforge (Seattle, WA) in Oct 2018

      Interview

      1. Phone screen with team director 2. In-person interviews with team 3. Additional interviews with more team members, lunch (their catered daily onsite lunch), CEO interview The phone screen lasted about 30 minutes and consisted mostly of talking through marketing strategies. Nothing too complicated. In-person day one: 1:1 interviews that ranged from conversational to challenging/focused on past experience and what ideas/initiatives I would bring to their team. Notably lovely people all around. In-person day two: CEO interview focused on marketing-related challenges. It was the sort of tricky process where you can either choke entirely or just go with it and try to think outloud and see if your brain works in a way that's conducive to your would-be boss. I found the conversation interesting and useful on my side too, because it gave me a powerful sense of what it would be like to work with that person. The CEO didn't ask me anything about myself or my past experience, but that had been covered in my six prior interviews anyway.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      What is one of the first tests you would run if you started in this role? Okay so you have the results of that test. What do you do with them? Note: I don't want to be specific about the questions they gave me due to the NDA, but definitely focused on how I thought about important problems—both those that are particular to the company as well as more broad tech-marketing challenges. I spent several hours before each day of interviews studying everything I could about the company (there's a lot online) and then just tried to show up well-slept and calm so I could navigate with clarity. This interview process is challenging—more so in some ways than an Amazon loop—but it's more about showing how you really think and work than anything else. And if that doesn't work, it's probably not a good fit anyway.
