I didn´t get to advance further than the primary assessment over a video call that lasts about 30-45 mins. It´s then supposed to be followed up by a meeting with various departments you´ll closely be collaborating with on site and will be given an assignment to discuss. It was by far the most structured and friendly interview I´ve recently participated in. She had a super positive attitude and was able to very clearly explain the company culture and the role. This then reflects on how well you´re able to explain yourself in return since the interview isn´t interrogative but conversational. Just be clear about why you´re applying to the role you´re applying to and why Travelperk. Use the opportunity of this an open-ended question to highlight your strengths and why you´re a good fit for the role.

I was contacted by the team directly as they were actively hunting product owners. Went to interview with HR and with the CPO. Interview was friendly, still a startup, lots to do, exciting challenges etc. However it felt like product was lacking vision and the definition of the role of the product owner was quite junior, not even owning the relationship with stakeholders. It felt quite clear that it wasn't the right fit for me but the feedback i received was that they wanted someone more hands on (rest skills were not interested in) and if i was willing to only focus on that only, they were keen to keep talking. I fully understand that there may be no role fit,no culture fit, etc but i wouldnt try to recruit senior talent for a junior role. It is not the same working with a team of 20 engineers or working with a team of 5, takes more skills to succeed. I wish Travelperk all the best and looking forward to see how they revolutionize travel.
