I was warned upfront that their interview process is longer than average as it consists of three parts: a phone screening with a recruiter at headquarters, an interview with a peer and operations manager at the office you're applying for, and an interview with two hiring managers. The process was also made longer by holidays in-between and waiting to hear back from the recruiter beyond the estimated timeframes. Because I was an out of state candidate, all of my interviews took place via phone or Zoom however it sounded like they generally offer the final interview in person for local candidates. All three interviews ask for similar information about your work history but becomes more relevant to the position you're seeking as you move along in the process. The phone screening was much like any phone screening, a brief description of the job and the company, however the description of the job in the phone screening was much different than what I came to learn throughout the rest of the process. I did not originally plan to move past the phone screening because of what I was lead to believe the job was but I am glad I moved forward as it was not quite accurate. The peer interview was a great way to learn about the culture of the company and what a "day in the life" is like. In the final interview, I was given example scenarios of complex situations which could arise in this sort of position and given the opportunity to explain what my approach might be. I was also shown a powerpoint slide and asked for recommendations on how it could be improved for use in an external training. We also did a "deep dive" into my past work history and how it could be applied to work with Upstream. I felt that it gave me a good opportunity to showcase my skills and understand how I might be useful to the organization. I enjoyed the interviews while I was in them, the conversations were thought provoking and eventually gave a good idea what the position was by the time I made it to the third interview. The communication between interviews was poor and to schedule additional interviews required a lot of back and forth because I was offered interview slots which I had already expressed I was not available for. Ultimately the stress of waiting to hear back in between interviews, lack of transparency, and the fact that the process took four months only to find out they got rid of the position made it a negative interviewing experience.
