I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at SharkNinja (London, England) in Jan 2021
Interview
Initial phone screening to discuss; the opportunity, position, and responsibilities. This was following by a group Zoom panel interview, during which I met with numerous people around the business to explore; suitability, skills, experience, team culture, role & responsibilities. Overall the process was well facilitated, and gave both parties the opportunity to assess inter-dependent suitability without being unnecessarily arduous for such a role
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Please give an example of when you have had to problem solve between cross-functional teams and stakeholders in order to maintain project progression?
Initial screening zoom call with HR to discuss employment history and cultural fit followed by an in person technical interview with a director and SVP to discuss skillset and experience
Not so great, as the recruitment specialist was in a hurry and were not happy to ask my questions. As example of that, how the company will measure sucess on my first 6 months?
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at SharkNinja (Bristol, England) in Jun 2021
Interview
Overall a little disjointed. Having to in essence create detailed designs outlining a full design in detail. Felt like the process had people already lined up for the job. 4x 30 minute interviews with people who in some cases didn’t introduce themselves. Open comments of “chaos” and “manic” were used and this was reflected in their process. Switched off towards the end as felt it was switched off over the screen from the start. Someone will fit, but it will someone who doesn’t mind an unorganised system.
