1 - Call from HR, casual conversation about your interest for the job and the company 2 - Short exam testing your skills 3 - Panel interview with your potential teammates asking standard interview questions to ensure fit for the role and the culture
I applied online. The process took 7 months. I interviewed at Smarter Good in Feb 2023
Interview
There were several parts to the interview process, a written submission, an interview with HR, then a collaboration test with other applicants. After being told that I fit the job and they would love to have me onboard in Q2 this year, it took another 2 weeks until they said that they weren't able to have me start until at least Q4 or next year. This is because they keep their applications open at all times, despite not having the role open. They then called in Q3, saying the role was available ASAP if I wanted it, which I accepted. Then after 2 more weeks of calls, they called again saying they changed their mind and decided not to proceed with the hiring. I think the delay in calls as well as how they string you along is very unprofessional.

Interview
There's an initial interview, an assessment test, another meeting that makes you collaborate with other applicants, and a final panel interview. It's a long and high-effort process, but it doesn't take long to hear back from them or to hear updates about the process.
