- First round: One leadership screen - Second round: One System Design and One Coding - Third round: Leadership interview - Fourth round: An online cognition assessment and ~2-hour culture video watch (offline) - Fifth round: 3 leadership interviews with peer level and senior leaderhip Initial rounds (1st and 2nd) were OK. Two of the leadership interviews in 5th round were also normal. However, the interview with the one of the managers (3rd round) was very dry and it was as if they were not very interested even though they were going to be working directly with this role. Another leadership interviewer (5th round) was interested in digging for defects rather than focus on strengths - for example looking at a line in my resume and nitpicking me on why I said this or that, and looking up the profile of my work online in a screenshare during the interview etc. They seemed very paranoid. None of the folks explained the role, the nature of work, the team, the mission etc. The online cognitive/IQ assessment is not only insulting but shows the immaturity of the company. The results are also stored on a third party site and associated with the candidate's email - ID.me does not seem to care about privacy of its candidates, in addition to its users. Deal breaker: I was given a two-hour culture video (you can find this on Youtube) to watch and it made me cringe. It was full of sports references and had motivational video clips from Holywood actors. Sometimes these unrelated domains have overlapping culture & leadership lessons to learn, but the video overall showed the immaturity of the leadership, and indicated a more "bro culture". The fact that this video is advertized by recruitment shows how clueless they are. Another deal breaker: None of the interviewers acknowledged, let alone care about major issues with ID.me: 1) Security & privacy of its users. Quote (paraphrased) from an interviewer: "I am realistic - some of the users will be hacked, but then again everyone's SSN numbers are public anyway after the breach with Equifax etc. " 2) Major past incidents with usability of its identification mechanism which has led to negative life-consequences for legit folks trying to get their unemployment benefits, child care, login to IRS etc. (see Wikipedia and other online resources) 3) Potential misuses by Government and other authorities of user's biometric info etc. (I feel horrified for folks, including myself, who will be forced the the Government and other authorities to go through ID.me for identifying themselves.) Another deal breaker: The backgrounds of the folks who interviewed me, were very lightweight, even at the highest seniority. I was being interviewed for almost an entry level EM, even though I have worked as a senior EM (manager of other managers) in FAANG companies. And yet, the folks who were interviewing me held high levels in the company despite having lightweight experience prior to joining ID.me. I read through the generally negative Glassdoor reviews of the company. That, in addition to the other dealbreakers I mentioned, basically made it clear that I did not want to work for ID.me. After the final round, I sent an email the next business day telling the company that the role was not a good fit for me, and I passed on the opportunity, without waiting for their decision. Conclusion: Unethical company w/ an insecure/ineffective product, bad culture, and bad interview process. They will waste a lot of your time. Stay away, unless you are desperate.
