The process included call with recruiter, then call with hiring manager, and a call with the team (design, engineer, data analyst, product). It was a pretty fast process and the team just wanted to get to know you and how you collaborate. A lot of behavioral questions and also just getting to know each other and the company.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How do you collaborate with design and engineering?
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Dave (Los Angeles, CA) in Aug 2025
Interview
The interview process consisted of a phone screen with the recruiter, a video interview with the hiring manager, and then a panel interview which consisted of 5 separate calls with different people from the team who assess leadership skills, culture fit, technical acumen, behavioral questions related to team interactions, and executive management skills. The process took 3+ weeks.
I made it to the final round and did not get the offer. The recruiter said I excelled in all aspects but there was a minor concern over culture fit. I don't think they know what they were looking for considering my qualifications, and time in the industry. IMO dodged a bullet.
Overall the interview process was a complete waste of time. It's way over-engineered, and lacks engagement from any of the panelist (including a super rude and rushed interview with a tired Engineering Manager. Ultimately didn't get the offer because of some minor factor that doesn't predict success in the role.
The entire interview process left a bad taste in my mouth. Not sure if it is due to the company culture or due to the macro environment. Long and drawn out process. Then no feedback given.
