A three-stage process: one interview on the phone, one in-person interview in which I talked to 4 separate people (individual sessions), and then one final interview with a remote employee they wanted me to meet.
The tone of the interviews was very friendly and open. I felt respected and like they wanted to hear my ideas. I ultimately declined their offer for reasons unrelated to the company.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
It was more of a conversation than a series of questions - I was asked to talk about past projects, how I had planned them, how I used data to guide them. Then I was told about projects on the horizon for them and how I might approach them.
I applied online. I interviewed at Upworthy (Los Angeles, CA) in May 2019
Interview
The interview was great, I came to the office and waited about 10 min. I interviewed with the CEO who I would be an assistant for, as well as multiple employees at the company who I would be helping out. The interview ended up being almost 2 hours, I got along really well with everyone.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Upworthy (Austin, TX) in Nov 2015
Interview
The interview process stretched on for several months. Most of the workforce is remote, so all of the interviews took place over the phone or Skype. There seemed to be some turnover during the process, and a consultant was coordinating schedules in the beginning. I was given an assignment to basically pitch some product ideas and develop wireframes. This was a reasonable skill assessment in my opinion, and took 6-8 hours to complete. In the end I took a job elsewhere, as it seemed that the job was posted, but without any urgency to make a hiring decision.
