I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Hotjar in July 2019
Interview
The process was very slick. After an initial screening conversation, I was given the Product Management task. It's a three-day task and candidates have 2 weeks to complete it.
As I was working on the case, I was encouraged to reach out to members of the Product team and ask questions and dig deeper into the case at hand. The final part of the task was to present back to the Product team and answer questions about my findings.

Question 1
One thing which I was asked to think about and talk about openly was any concerns or thoughts I might have had about remote working. Everyone I spoke to really wanted to explore this with me and help me figure out if this setup was the right one for me.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Hotjar (Edinburgh, Scotland) in May 2021
Interview
A 30 minute video call with the recruiter, who had headhunted me, brief introduction and asked some questions, also explained the next stages if I were to continue
More in depth than a normal screener than I had assumed
