I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Xero (Wellington, Wellington) in Oct 2017
Interview
Online interviews as I was in a different country. First interview was very informal and chatty but they asked very good questions. Second interview was a bit disrupted as there was a bad connection but they still kept me talking for 1.5 hours! It was a bit more gruelling in the type of questions, long of long sentences with multiple questions in them but we got there in the end!
A few stages - interview with the recruiter, task with the hiring managers, and interview with the team members. Generally, it was enjoyable and well-organised, with all of the interviewers being reasonable and respectful.

Question 1
How would you prioritize incoming work given certain criteria

Interview
The recruitment team were super friendly and easy to deal with. However the interview process is lengthy and inconsistent and if you don't get the role you applied for you have to start back at the beginning of the whole process.

Question 1
What is an example of how you have prioritised a feature over another?

Interview
Screening call, and then 3 more interviews. One of them was an exercise of mapping out what your first 90 days in the role would look like. Was quite a long process and had to push to get the next interviews scheduled sooner as I was interviewing with other companies and wanted to weigh up my options. In the end they weren't able to put an offer on the table in time so I ended up going elsewhere. Got the feeling they didn't want to compete with other offers / would rather hire someone who had them as their first/only choice.
