Some were super informal and basically just conversations and some were a bit more inquisitive and intense. I then had to submit a writing sample-directions on how to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich ( :/ ).Īfter getting through to the onsite interview it was basically a round robin interview scheme with the CS team in redwood city.

Just about my résumé, my interest in the position and my knowledge of the product suite. Had a series of phone screens with different hiring managers (about 2). I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Evernote (Redwood City, CA) in Feb 2014 Interview If a candidate makes it that far in the process and you've made a major faux pas in the process, they deserve a phone call - not to be rushed off the phone and shut down by an automated email. It's too bad, because I'm a huge fan and power user of the product and they knew that, but were extremely dismissive anyway. Same applies to being dismissive of your mid level managers. Being exorbitantly late to interview a candidate is both indicative of how the position is looked on by the rest of the company, as well as how the employees are managed. I was more disappointed in the lack of communication and professionalism displayed in the final interview process. I understand that I may not have been a fit. I received an automatic No Reply email the next morning stating I had been turned down. She said that she had not heard about my interview since it was conducted and hadn't received any directives and ended the conversation abruptly. I was told to call Thursday afternoon if I didn't hear from the mid level manager as she sometimes "misses things".Ĭalled the mid level manager Thursday afternoon.

Skype chat was quick and simple mock customer interaction. Interview questions were the same exact questions as the phone screen, which raised my eyebrow. Senior manager was 90 minutes late to the phone interview, and employees were unable to track down citing "stuck in a meeting". Skype chat test and phone interview with senior manager scheduled for following week. Enthusiastic and engaged, but indicated that she was optimistic that I would get the job and "felt really good about it" - always a faux pas and professionally risky. Thirty minute initial phone screen by mid level manager.


I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Evernote (Austin, TX) Interview
