I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at DroneDeploy (Dallas, TX) in Mar 2026
Interview
Interview was really conversational. Started with a hiring manager interview that was close to what you expect but not as intense, Then a technical interview that was systems based(architect a product that does x). Then 2 culture fit interviews from an engineer on the team and the VP of engineering.

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at DroneDeploy (Auckland, Auckland) in Feb 2026
Interview
Started with a quick sync with HR, followed by meeting with the manager to align understanding of role and requirements. Followed by take home assessment which was of a decent size, nothing extreme but definitely enough to show design and architecture decisions made.
A couple more interviews with leadership and other engineers to ensure good fit.

I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at DroneDeploy in June 2023
Interview
They scheduled a first round interview with me and then cancelled last second because they were looking for something else. Make sure you know what you're looking for before you schedule with people. Very unprofessional and disrespectful use of my time
