I had a very positive interview experience with Vapi. The process was well-organized, thoughtful, and genuinely candidate-first from start to finish. Communication was clear throughout, expectations were set well, and each step felt purposeful rather than performative. I especially want to call out Alina Nguyen, who made the process incredibly easy to navigate. She was responsive, clear, and helpful at every step — from coordinating next steps to making sure I had the right context before conversations with the team. Her communication made the overall experience feel smooth, professional, and very human. What stood out most was the quality of the conversations. The team asked substantive questions about my background, operating style, and how I think about building effective revenue and enablement systems. It felt like they were trying to understand real fit — both for the role and for the company's stage — rather than just checking boxes. The hiring team gave me a strong sense of the company's pace, ambition, and culture. I also appreciated the transparency around the role, expectations, benefits, and equity. Overall, it was one of the more thoughtful and energizing interview processes I've been through.
