I applied through other source. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Braze
Interview
-too many repetitive phone screens
-LONG and slow process
-waste of time interviewing for a company that clearly doesn't value the candidate's time
Highlight of the entire experience is the "case study" that's actually a sales pitch that requires a talk track voice recording, written essay and slide deck. All of this is expected before being considered to interview on-site. For the amount of hoops candidates are expected to jump through you would think it's to interview for being president of the USA.

Question 1
Before we continue our first phone screen and although recruiters aren't involved in compensation, what is the range youre looking for just so I can write it down?
Very positive. Lots of information provided to help with the interview process and incentives to show gratitude for the time it takes to interview. Everyone I spoke to was very friendly, it seems like a great place to work
Screening call with the recruiter, easy take home assessment, 3x rounds with Customer Success Directors. Everyone I spoke with was nice, but I got rejected with an automated email providing no feedback. Considering they are not a big company, they should consider providing feedback to applicants to avoid ruining the application experience
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Braze (Chicago, IL) in Aug 2025
Interview
This was a standard tech interview with a recruiter, then managerial interview with a hiring manager. Followed by a decision. The process was relatively simple and straightforward. The interviewers were prompt and polite
