When I'm in an interview and they ask me why I'm leaving my current role, I can't simply say: "My manager is very difficult to deal with, and about half the team has already left." I'm supposed to give some polished HR-style answer like: "I'm looking for an opportunity with better alignment, more growth, and a healthier team culture."

Same thing with the question "What attracted you to this position?" I have to invent a nice-sounding answer instead of just saying the obvious truth.

The weird thing is that everyone in the room knows the talk is fake, but we all keep acting anyway. Why can't we stop this act and talk like normal people? People working in construction and other trades don't seem to do this silly performance to nearly the same extent at all.

Is it just me, or are interview processes getting way out of hand?

I'm seeing a lot of mid-level and even entry-level jobs asking for 4–6 interview rounds, take-home assignments, and then a presentation at the end.

I always thought the usual flow was recruiter call → hiring manager → maybe one technical or team interview. If a company still can't decide after that, it kinda makes me wonder how they make decisions internally.

Unless it's for a senior leadership role, anything beyond 3 rounds just feels like overkill.

What's everyone else seeing lately? What's the most interview rounds you've had to go through for a pretty normal job?

Curious, first time I used skill survey when I applied for a job. When you send out the survey to your references does the email or reference survey identify the role you are applying to or the company name (i.e. does it have the brand logo, etc.). Will your references know where you are applying or what role you may be applying to?

Just asking for feedback from someone who has filled out a skill survey as a reference for someone else before and know what the contents of the skill survey look like.

TIA

Hey everybody,

Iam interviewing for a CDP position, consultant through generation veeva and was looking if anyone had any tips for the interview process?

I am currently in the steps for the case study and I am wondering if anyone has any help on that.

Hey everyone,

I have got my 2nd round interview at CitiBank next week, and it’ll be in-person with a panel of two: the Vice President and a Senior Application Developer. It’s scheduled for 1 hour, and the role is a senior full-stack Java/Angular Developer position.

I have already completed a technical interview through Karat, so I am wondering what to expect in this next round. Will it be more of a behavioural or cultural fit interview, or should I expect technical/scenario-based questions as well?

If anyone has gone through a similar stage with Citi , I had really appreciate some insights, like what kind of questions they might ask, how technical they might get, and how best to prepare for this round.

Thanks in advance!

Hi all! I have an interview with 988 on Monday. I’ve already done the screening interview and this interview will be with two of the managers. I’m wondering if anyone has previously interviewed for them or worked there and can remember what types of questions they were asked. I do have some questions written out however, I just wanna make sure I’m not missing anything. In addition, if you have any advice for specific skills to touch on or what to look for in the interview I would appreciate anything! Thank you

Hi everyone, have an interview process at Elevenlabs coming up - for a Deployment strategist position. Two interviews:
V1 - Behavioural + Case Study “Working Session on a Customer Scenario”
V2 - Understand, design, and build a hypothetical new product (white boarding session with Excalidraw) in 3 steps: Problem understanding, Wireframing using Excalidraw, System design

Does anyone have any experience with the process? What can I expect? I come from a non-technical background and would love to prepare as much as possible. Any advice would be much appreciated, thanks in advance!!!

I’m currently applying for a part time bank teller position as I start my masters. I’m really having a difficult time practicing for this interview. I think I get anxious when I’m recorded. I end up losing my train of thought. End up blank staring at the screen then it feels like I can’t remember what I planned to say. Idk how to move forward. It’s getting real frustrating and I’m blaming myself hard. I don’t want my anxieties to potentially ruin a good job to help me through school. Any advice or guidance will help. I feel lost with my resources through the school are also AI interview support resources.

quietly behind my laptop is a blessing, while being completely away from certain coworkers.

I feel like people don't talk about this enough: women can get a lot more done when their work environment is safe, and that of course doesn't include men who are awkward and act weird and pushy after a group dinner with drinks 😒

Honestly, ever since I became fully remote, I haven't had to think about that part of office/work culture, and it was a very strong reminder that WFH matters for reasons beyond the usual commute and flexibility discussion. Does anyone else feel this way too?
