I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at BlackSky (Seattle, WA) in Jan 2024
Interview
I had a smooth interview process with Blacksky. The team was proactive and communicative, and the interviewers were knowledgeable and engaging. Every interview was insightful, with questions covering both technical skills and team fit. There were 3 rounds of interviews, the first with HR and the second with the hiring manager. The last round consisted of 4 consecutive interviews with people from various departments. Blacksky was very accommodating and I was given the option for remote or in person for these interviews. Some of the interviews, particularly with the hiring manager, were challenging from an in-depth technical perspective. The entire 3 round interview process did take some time as there were delays due to people being busy or out of town. Anytime I reached out to HR for an update they were very responsive. Overall I thought the interview process was setup well to find good candidates and there was plenty of opportunities for me to learn about the company, position and culture. Everyone treated me with kindness and respect.

There were technical questions but also lots of discussion on my background.
Great hiring manager and team. Really enjoyed interviewing with them. Did a variety of individual and group interviews. All were insightful and didn’t feel like a waste of time. Probably did around 4 rounds of interviews.
