I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Upstart
Interview
Started with standard HR / Recruiter screening. Basic questions and hype for how well your experience fits. Next steps email hours later.
Next round met with direct manager of the job position. Seemingly nice person. Had a normal conversation about interests and the specific role, it ended with more hype for how well you fit. Next steps emailed hours later.
Next round involved completing and presenting an assessment to the same manager. Great conversation and walkthrough of the assessment. No email or call after 2 days.
I emailed - no response
I called - forced response
“We have a candidate who is a better “fit”. “
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Is “fit” still a factor after progressing to the third interview?
