Perk interview questions

Over the course of more than 6 months, I interviewed for 3 different jobs at TravelPerk— resulting in no offer. It began with a call screening with someone in HR, followed by a video chat with whom I'd be reporting to, followed by an assignment and another video chat with the same person. Then they flew me in for a full-day, in-person interview with about 5 different stakeholders. The original role was changed into another role, which I was asked to interview for, involving another assessment assignment and a video chat. Then the role changes again and I was asked to interview for the 3rd role, which involved another assessment assignment and a video chat. Throughout, the later part of this process (the changing roles) I was told an offer was imminent 'we're only following formalities,' I was a 'great cultural fit,' and would 'add immediate value to the team.' I got the impression that a cultural fit is very important to the hiring process. I appreciate that. Overall, though, I'd say TravelPerk doesn't currently know what they are looking for in their marketing department. Not great for a funded startup in a growth phase. Pressure is on. Executing on ideas is pertinent.

The interviewing process took more or less 3 weeks. The process is pretty long but it makes a lot of sense, then you see the result: You work with very senior and dedicated people (not only in Engineering but in the whole company). The first stages were mainly online with the recruiting team. After completing a preliminary coding test I spoke directly with the heads of Engineering. Finally I was invited to a couple of inhouse tests. First architecture, second a coding test. Above all it was fun. The Engineering leaders are very hands on and this is something you see since you are interviewing with them. The last stages consist in meeting the team and the CEO of the company. Some of the guys I met have been in the company for more than 2 years, something that is a very good sign nowadays. The conversation with the CEO is very insightful. Actually I was interviewing with other companies and never had the opportunity to meet one of the C level execs.
