Interview
I applied for a job at AutoGravity through an employee referral and was brought onsite to interview with a panel of 4 people. The process seem well-organized, but none of the interviewers seem to be prepare for the interview (i.e. reading my resume as they come in the room, asking repeating questions). I must have answered 4 times "why do you want to work for us". I was asked lots of situational questions (i.e. what would you do if..., how would you handle xx situation, etc) and I thought I had answered them quite well.
A week later I received a call notifying that I didn't get the job, and the feedback I got was they needed someone with more experience. I wish the team were a bit more considerate and respectful of candidates' time, as it was quite clear on my resume how many years of experience I had. I checked LinkedIn a few weeks later for that job and saw they had hired someone with 8 months more experience in the job.
Generally it was a pleasant experience and everyone seemed to be passionate about the company's mission.

Question 1
why Autogravity? What makes you stand out from other candidates?
Thank you for your feedback. We are a growing company and we are always improving our processes. We implemented "pre-briefs" to help the interview team understand the role that they are interviewing for and so that the team is well prepared for the interview. I'm sorry this did not happen for your interview and we hope that you consider AutoGravity for a future opportunity especially since you are a referral. We love our referrals.
