This was one of the best interviews I've ever been in. An initial screening with a recruiter is followed by a formal interview with a leader of the relevant team. The recruiter referenced the wrong salary range, which was corrected at the next stage interview. Despite the error, the second stage interview was excellent. Specific and relevant questions were prepared, and expectations for the interview and interview process were laid out from the very beginning. The role, company, and culture were thoroughly and concisely described. I thought it was well balanced, structured yet conversational. One element I found particularly incisive was the interviewer's reminder at the beginning to simply tell my story, and omit explicitly noting takeaways. i.e. Let the interviewer draw their own conclusions. I plan to borrow this reminder for any interviews I ever conduct. The interview gave me confidence that the company was getting the right people on board, which at a startup is crucial.
