Interview process tries to simulate real work. The question setup is in marketing tech, so they want to see how you think in real world terms. The interviewers are super supportive.
I met with the CTO for an initial screening, hoping to learn more about the team and culture. Unfortunately, he seemed completely uninterested from the start and largely refused to answer my questions about Mutiny’s people or processes. When I asked how he actively fosters the company’s professed culture and values, his response was literally, “It pretty much handles itself.”
As someone who’s followed the CEO’s talks on the importance of thoughtful hiring and cultural stewardship, this was really disheartening. If culture is important to you, don't be fooled by their public messaging
First round was a phone screen with the CTO. The call went well and moved forward to the coding interview. The interviewer for the coding interview was an early engineer at the company and was very difficult to understand. The base question was easy, but when he started asking follow-ups I had a hard time understanding him and he had a hard time understanding me. It ruined the interview. Very disappointed that they don't have a higher bar for who they choose to let interview!
