Recruiter screen, HM interview, standard SE demo of product. I got another offer and couldn't wait around. Interview process was super slow and I wasn't kept in the loop as to how many rounds, etc., so I had no idea where I was in the interview process. Recruiter was good to prep for the different rounds. Assume they had lots of interviews on the go as had to follow up for information to find if I was through to next round despite being told 'if you can be fast, we can be fast'. No response when I informed them that I would have to take the offer I had on table. Left a bit of a bad taste. I love the product and had a good impression of the company before this but interview process made them seem disorganised and cold.

The process was a slightly longer multi round process Recruiter screen > hiring manager > exercise > 3-4 additional one on ones As is typical, no feedback was provided when eliminated

The first thing that stood out: everyone involved is very authentic during the conversation. For this role, I went through 6 stages (all online sessions). The recruiter screen, hiring manager, XFN, technical, demo/panel (with a checkpoint meeting beforehand), and final value session (with an executive). Having gone through the tech hiring process so many times, both as a candidate and as a hiring manager, I commend Notion for scheduling a checkpoint meeting with the hiring manager before the demo/panel session. It shows their intention to ensure the candidate has the best chance of succeeding, and it's definitely not something most companies will invest time in. Throughout the process, the recruitment team is very respectful of my time. Communication was clear and prompt, with follow-up and feedback after every session, typically within 24-48 hours.
