I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Better (Charlotte, NC) in May 2021
Interview
Quick and easy. Spoke to recruiter first over the phone, then spoke with a hiring manager. I found out pretty quickly after the final interview that I got the position.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Better in Jan 2021
Interview
The overall interview process was very straightforward. I had a phone interview first, from there I had 2 zoom interviews with hiring managers. They were very quick with the process and told me if I got the job or not in a matter of a week.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about yourself and how will you contribute to Better.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Better (Oakland, CA) in Nov 2021
Interview
Interview went well. Make sure you do your homework and research about the company.
Long story short : Recruiter told me that I made it as the finalist candidate(4 rounds of interviews). I knew I was going to have a job offer sent my way because I clicked really well with all of my interviewers.
*2 weeks later*
Unfortunately, when I was told that they are still trying to make a decision on the right candidate, I found out that the CEO fired 900 people on zoom. This was my dream job and it was sad to see how things were going for this company. From there, I knew that I was not going to get a job offer. The recruiter reached back out to me and said "You're still the finalist candidate but we have decided to pause the hiring".
It honestly sucks that I put days of practicing for this interview but hey, I saw this whole situation as a sign to not work for this company.
I also found out that one of my interviewers was a part of the 900 people who got let go. It was sad and I honestly felt really bad for the guy. Super cool and humble dude.
Would I apply again? The answer is No.
I wish all the best for the employees there.
