the whole process was 6 weeks long
spoke to two PMs and then there was a 3 hour onsite with a take-home assignment to develop a speaker system from Sonos.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Forward in Nov 2023
Interview
The first round was a call with a PM, and he asked general behavioral questions while describing his job, the role, and the scope of the work. It was quite a friendly conversation.
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Forward (San Francisco, CA) in Jul 2023
Interview
I would suggest to not waste your time and energy with this company. The process was unnecessarily long. I ended up giving 5 rounds of interviews - 3 of which were onsite. Each onsite had me talking to 4 different people. The process took over 3 months. It also involved solving case studies and participating in Jam sessions. All of this ended with me getting a note saying - "There was not anything lacking from your end but the team is still figuring out the exact requirements of the role". They then came back 2 weeks later to make an extremely low offer. It seems like the company does not want what it is looking for when it interviews a candidate so they are just looking to interview as many people as they can and find an unrealistic candidate.
