Vorstellungsgespräch

Nach meinem Bewerbungseingang kam die Einladung zu einem kurzfristigen Gespräch, in dem mir einiges über das Unternehmen und den ausgeschriebenen Job erklärt wurde. Die Stimmung war gut und der Ansprechpartner sehr freundlich und offen. Das Gespräch fand direkt in den Räumlichkeiten statt, dadurch habe ich einen guten Einblick in das Unternehmen und die dortigen Arbeitsstimmung bekommen. Es war ein erstes Kennenlernen, im Anschluß dazu bekam ich die Einladung zu einer Design-Challenge.

Vorstellungsgespräch

A recruiter reached out to me about a role at Soundcloud. We had a brief phone conversation to discuss the role. I was told she would be reviewing all candidates with hiring manager soon.

I was contacted a few days later to provide availability times for an in-person interview with the hiring manager. I provided my availability and then never heard anything back for days. I followed up and was told they were putting the role "on hold" until after the holidays. Of course, I never heard back again and the job listing was re-posted.

Either Soundcloud is a company where they put a role on hold for weeks and don't think they need to notify the candidates they have left up in the air - candidates they sought out no less, or Soundcloud is a company where HR lies to candidates. Either way, Soundcloud is a company that acts unprofessionally and wastes people's time.

Vorstellungsgespräch

For this internship position, I had my initial call with the recruiter which was a casual conversation about who I was and why I was interested in working at SoundCloud. After the call, we set up a Skype interview for later that week with 2 managers I would be reporting to, if hired. I was asked about my skills and how I could apply them to the role. Following the Skype interview, the recruiter scheduled another Skype interview the HR director which was similar to the previous Skype interview in terms of the questions I was asked. Following the two Skype interviews, I had one last phone call with the recruiter.

Throughout the process, the recruiter was really nice and constantly kept me up to date with the status of my application, which no other company I applied for an internship at did. Once I was offered the position, the HR department sent me paperwork promptly.

Overall, the process was long in terms of the number of interviews but I now understand why the decision takes time on the company's end; SoundCloud is a growing company attracting talent from around the world. The culture is remarkable and the company is full of the brightest people.

Process took ~2 weeks. Everyone was nice and seemed smart. Phone interview was thorough and professional. In-person interview was a nice conversation, but all fluff, as if they already knew who they were going to hire, and I was a due diligence interview. Feels like they literally didn't ask me any in-person questions! After I was rejected, I asked for feedback and heard nothing back from anyone.

Vorstellungsgespräch

An acquaintance of mine referred me for a job that I was sure I was perfect for, if not over-qualified. I was willing to forego my Senior title and even go for a lateral move because I was really excited about the company and team. I met with the Head of the team and we truly hit it off. They brought me back to meet the rest of the team and I had wonderful, very fluid and candid conversations with all of them. I had ALL of the qualifications and skills they needed for the job. It's possible they didn't like me personally for whatever reason, but in my eyes we hit it off and the Head really liked me. My acquaintance gave me various stories of why I wasn't hearing back from the lawsuit preventing "over-hiring" to the team going from someone more "green", which seems pretty weird that they'd want someone with LESS experience. If it was a personal choice, I would've rather been officially emailed and notified that they want with another candidate and that's it. I'm still "waiting" to hear about updates but I've lost interest at this point and realize it is their loss.

A few calls with the recruiter and I was directly connected with the interviewees. I was brought in for a half day of portfolio review, and whiteboarding challenge. A few people even took me out to lunch! It was a great way to spend time with everyone in the office to get a good feel of the culture and the people I'd be working with.

Ich habe mich online beworben. Der Vorgang dauerte 6 Wochen. Vorstellungsgespräch absolviert im Juli 2016 bei SoundCloud (New York, NY (Vereinigte Staaten von Amerika)).

Vorstellungsgespräch

Two interviews over a 6-week period. The first was a phone screening with a recruiter. The second was in-person with a senior member of the reporting team. The meetings were conversational interviews, informational and telling about culture and management style. It took 1-2 weeks to set up the in-person after the phone screening. Follow-up was fair to middling afterward, and it was fairly apparent that they decided to go with another candidate.
