I applied online. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Native.fm (London, England) in Jan 2024
Interview
Overall, a very muddled and overdrawn process demonstrating immaturity in leadership. I had been told numerous times throughout the process that the founder 'was on his own leadership journey' so I guess I can't be too surprised.
I initially applied in September, had video interview calls with HR and another member of the C-Suite before finally meeting the founder in early January. Then I was ghosted. When I wrote to HR asking for feedback, I got sent a lengthy Chat GPT generated generic email which was hugely disappointing given the time I had spent going through the process.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Questions asked at each stage were similar: 'tell me about yourself', 'what are your superpowers' etc and the founder kept going back to whether I had carbon copy experience elsewhere rather than being willing to consider or discuss transferrable skills.
The founder also did not appear to like me asking questions about who had invested in the company, what stage it was at etc which should be a red flag for anyone coming in at executive level
