Here are the most commonly searched roles for interview reports -
CEO approached me on Angel List, set up an initial phone screen with staff software engineer who had been on team for 6 months.
The moment the phone call began, the interviewer started with a personal story talking about the downsides of their previous role and how it had been very boring before Mutiny and how Mutiny was better.
The majority of our 30 minute conversation was taken up by the interviewer giving me various explanations and stories about Mutiny and asked me in all about 2 questions about my candidacy.
After finishing a lengthy monologue about Mutiny technologies, the interviewer then asked me if I had any questions. I surely didn't as I had been given an incredible amount of both personal and business information and found myself thinking there was no way that the interviewer knew me any better than if they had simply read my resume.
They sent me a rejection email after a few hours later.
The hiring process doesn't seem very mature. The better pull would have been to set up a longer meeting if they really wanted to get to know the candidates. The entire experienced felt very unprofessional.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me a little bit about yourself.
Tell me about a project you have worked on in the past.
Do you have any more questions?
I met with the CTO for an initial screening, hoping to learn more about the team and culture. Unfortunately, he seemed completely uninterested from the start and largely refused to answer my questions about Mutiny’s people or processes. When I asked how he actively fosters the company’s professed culture and values, his response was literally, “It pretty much handles itself.”
As someone who’s followed the CEO’s talks on the importance of thoughtful hiring and cultural stewardship, this was really disheartening. If culture is important to you, don't be fooled by their public messaging
Interview process tries to simulate real work. The question setup is in marketing tech, so they want to see how you think in real world terms. The interviewers are super supportive.
First round was a phone screen with the CTO. The call went well and moved forward to the coding interview. The interviewer for the coding interview was an early engineer at the company and was very difficult to understand. The base question was easy, but when he started asking follow-ups I had a hard time understanding him and he had a hard time understanding me. It ruined the interview. Very disappointed that they don't have a higher bar for who they choose to let interview!
