I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Runway (NYC) in Dec 2024
Interview
The interview process involved 5 stages:
1. Initial call with a Recruiter
2. Live coding session
3. System design session
4. Virtual on-site (4 "mini" interviews with different members of the team)
5. Call with senior leadership team
The whole process was incredibly efficient - despite there being several stages, from first interview to offer took less than two weeks.
Lauren and Ingrid were super communicative and kept me in the loop at every stage, despite this taking place over the Christmas holiday.
Please don't be put off by the number of stages involved, interviewing at Runway is not a drawn out process, and I came away from the experience feeling like I could make an informed decision as to whether I'd enjoy working there.
There are two technical screening (coding + system design) before the onsite. The feedback and decision make loop is super efficient, usually you get updates the same day! Interviewers are friendly and they know what they are looking for based on your background. Overall, very nice interviewing experience.
