I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Superhuman in Oct 2025
Interview
One of the more enjoyable, speedy, and thorough interview processes I've had. The entire process took about 2-3 weeks, involved mostly technical interviews (systems design, subject matter security interviews). A final friendly chat with an executive team member to wrap up the process.

Question 1
An adversarial and defender mindset was emphasized. Think like an attacker exploiting a vulnerable system, how would you go through the kill chain? Conversely, how would you detect those actions along each step of the way?
The interview experience with the company was quite smooth and well-organized. However, surprisingly, I learned that the interviewer was laid off just a week after our discussion, which raised some concerns.

I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Superhuman in Jan 2024
Interview
I thought it was an extremely thorough and enjoyable process.
I had something in the ball park of 4-5 technical rounds and 2 non-technical rounds. They were definitely more in-depth than other companies which is one of the reasons I decided to accept the offer.
My onsite interviews were split into multiple days so that was nice too. Though there were a lot of rounds, it didn't take too long either.
