The initial round was an automated interview, which seemed pretty impersonal and awkward. There is a camera filming you and it's a rapid-fire round of questions, and you only have about a minute to answer each one. I did not hear back for about 2-3 weeks, so I assumed that I had not moved on, which didn't surprise me as I thought the automated interview was not a great representation of my abilities. However, I was eventually asked to take part in a second round interview. The scheduling was a little bit confusing, as they invited me to a google hang out, and then called me on the phone. The recruiter was nice, and we had a pleasant conversation, but overall we did not click. I think they are looking for people who excel in one specific hobby or skill, and who can communicate that excellence clearly.

Two phone calls, two in person. The first interview went great, I loved the conversation, the second phone call seemed fairly irrelevant and unnecessary as very few questions were asked and it seemed like they were reaching out as a filler for time/follow up. The first in person was great, I liked meeting everyone and learning about the company and met one of the two hiring managers. I got called in the second time to meet with a high-level exec who when I got there was "not in the office"... when hilariously enough, I looked up the person via LinkedIn and knew what he looked like and he actually passed me in the office. Strange. Anyway, even though I had great conversations, it didn't sound like they knew what they wanted to hire for within POps. There are a myriad of groups in POps and I think they need to figure out how they want to grow and interview that way.
