Overall Thoughts: Enjoyable and well-structured interview process! I had the opportunity to speak with multiple team members at different steps of the process. Culture was an important factor in searching for my next role with two main criteria. First, finding a company with a culture that I really identified with. Second, a company that truly upheld and invested in building their culture. E8 knocked it out of the park on both fronts, I felt the importance of company culture from my very first interview. Some calls had to be rescheduled (including once on my end) but all scheduling was coordinated very smoothly and updates were communicated promptly. My Interview Process: > Initial Interview (Zoom) // with Director A > Take Home Task Provided (email) // PDF with instructions provided > Task Review Call (Zoom) // with Director B + Lead 1 > Culture-Fit Call (Zoom) // with Lead 2 + Product Manager > Offer Call (Zoom) // with Director A *1 follow up Zoom call + emails + texts to negotiate offer package. **Company requested for 2 references after making an offer. Personal Plus Points (relative to other interview processes): + Company culture is well regarded and articulated by all 5 team members I spoke with (real-life examples provided, not just listing high-level values). + Take home task to showcase product sense, instead of live interview (opportunity to demonstrate async communication capabilities). + The "goal" of each call was established at the start of every call and adhered to. Every interview felt like a conversation and interviewers showed their personalities (VS atypical corporate QnA). Possible Room for Improvement (relative to other interview processes): - Average of 1 week between each step. Relatively long compared to some other companies. With that said, interviewers did bring up they have a longer process to ensure they brought on the right people. Personal tips for future interviewees: 1. Culture-fit is important. Learn about what E8's culture is like and how it might relate to you. 2. The take-home task is your opportunity to showcase both your product sense and async communication. 3. If you see a position that interests you, just apply! I genuinely think someone will review your application :)

1st interview on Feb 10 with a product consultant. 2nd interview on Mar 1 with a director. The whole interview process is efficient. Conversational interview style, with open-ended questions, giving you enough time & flexibility to answer. I attended 2 interviews and both interviewers are great at listening, trying their best to understand you in evaluating role & culture fit.
