I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at SimplePractice in May 2025
Interview
I had a connection refer me to a role, then a really positive interview with HR. I interviewed with the hiring manger and it went not so well. I was qualified for the role, I had good responses for their questions, I brought challenging questions for my side and yet they was overly negative the entire time. I tried to bring a positive energy, but I was met with pessimism about my qualifications.
They ghosted me after.
Sometimes people have a bad day and it holds true for the interviewer as well as the interviewee, but don't stack a negative experience without response.
I would not suggest working in the product organization at this company.
- Recruiter screen (passed)
- Once you pass the recruiter screen, they give you a competency exam with some odd questions that have nothing to do with the role (think pattern detection, etc.) (passed)
- I received an email from the recruiter that they are moving me to the hiring manager interview, please share your availability.
- then, GHOSTED
- follow up emails, no response.
Look, I get that you're busy and moving on. But it takes ~60 seconds to let a candidate know that you ended up hiring someone else. Treat people with dignity.
Terrible interview format and questions that don't get proper understanding of product sense. Questions were broad and did not focus on product skills but rather questions that could go one way or another, depending on the responsibilities handled by other stakeholders.
