I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Shopmonkey in June 2025
Interview
I had a long but very positive interview experience with ShopMonkey. Nothing but good things to say about Sue and the entire team I spoke with, including both co-founders and the CCO. I advanced to the final round, but unfortunately, the hiring needs shifted toward the end of the process.
One thing that stood out to me was how deeply invested and passionate everyone was about the company’s mission and values. It was clear that ShopMonkey cares not just about hiring for skills, but for cultural alignment as well. The CEO, Ashot, was also a pleasure to speak with — thoughtful, transparent, and genuinely enthusiastic about the company’s future.
Although I didn’t end up joining the team, I left with a great impression of the people and the culture. I’d love the chance to reconnect for future opportunities.

Interview
Interview coordination was very smooth and punctual. The hiring team gave me extra time with the interview panel for additional questions when I needed it and offered time with additional team members as well.
The panel was friendly and easy to talk to and offer negotiation was very straightforward and punctual as well.
