The interview process was pretty straightforward: a first round with HR, a second round with the hiring manager, and if you made it, a third round where you'd need to give a presentation. Unfortunately, my experience with Similarweb was disappointing. After my initial chat with HR, I had a really positive and professional interview with two hiring managers. HR later told me the feedback was overall positive and asked for my updated resume and salary expectations. But after I sent the details, I got nothing back for over a week. My follow-up emails were ignored until I finally received a generic rejection email. One of the hiring managers, who was on sick leave, was kind enough to follow up, but this really should’ve been handled by HR. I get that I might not have been the right fit, but it’s frustrating to be left hanging after investing time and effort. If I wasn’t suitable, why ask for more info? A simple and honest response would’ve been fine. As one of the interviewers pointed out, hiring isn’t just about assessing candidates—it’s also about how the company comes across. Poor communication like this doesn’t leave a good impression. I hope Similarweb works on this to avoid similar issues in the future.

The interview process started with the screening call with the recruiter and the next step was supposed to be with the hiring manager. Following that, they went silent for some time and then they told me they changed the level of the CSM roles and downgraded them.
