Candidatei-me online. Fui entrevistado pela Propeller em dez. de 2020

The process occurs in four stages: first a call with a recruiter, then an interview with a current employee focusing on experience and project-based scenarios, then an interview with HR leadership focusing more on values but still delving into how you apply those values in project-based experiences, and finally a business case interview with a panel of senior leaders at the firm. You are given about an hour and a half to prepare a presentation based on a case study. At each stage a recruiter reaches out to promptly share the outcome of the interview, and then provides a one-page summary of what to expect in the next stage. There are no surprises, and one immediately gets the feeling that this is a company that wants its people to succeed. Moreover, every interview I had was incredibly well-structured and goal-oriented. I could immediately perceive that there were particular criteria they were trying to evaluate in each case. I really enjoyed how this took some of the subjectivity out of the process (e.g. we both like baseball, or whatever). Overall, this was the best interview process I've ever been through.

Either the interviewers are liars, hypocrites, or both. The company is lost and can't offer competitive market rates.
I crushed all four interviews and case studies. They tried very hard to find something wrong with my answers, but fell short and floundered.
Just like what the other interviewees stated on this site, they will ask if you want feedback and then ghost you.

Exactly as described on their website. Prompt to send scheduling invites and quick follow up after first 2 rounds. Follow up from 3rd round took about 10 days and they declined to bring me in for a case study. The first 3 interviews seemed to go very well, so I was surprised. The “decline” email invited me to reply if I wanted to ask for specific feedback. Since the decline took me by surprise, I really wanted the feedback, so I replied right away and asked for insights on where I fell short. Still no response a month later. That’s disappointing because they invited the request for feedback, and because it seemed like they tried to foster a culture of feedback to drive continuous improvement. The lack of response leaves me with a less favorable impression of the firm than when I started the process.

Interviews were overly structured and largely unpersonal - difficult to connect with anyone on a personal level. The questions were very generic and surprisingly not well aligned to the role applied for. Talking points between interviewers around needs and the role were disconnected and confusing. The work put into the business case turned out to not be a good use of time.
