I applied online. I interviewed at GitHub (San Francisco, CA) in Feb 2021
Interview
Talked with the recruiter, sales manager, and then a director, followed by 7 person interview that took over 4 hours. Ended up getting a generic rejection then saw that the job was reposted a week later. Very inconsiderate given how I have a year of account management experience and didn't even get the role. The EBR I was talking to even mentioned how she didnt even know how she got the job when she had no experience in sales. Why are people who I am not going to be reporting to, deciding my job application when the managers thought I would be a good fit. Don't waste your time with these people. They think it's fine to add a 10 person interview so they can make a holistic decision but it only screws you over for the amount of time put in.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at GitHub in Aug 2025
Interview
Professional people, but a painfully slow and uncommunicative process
Pros
Interviewers were professional and polite.
Conversations were engaging and aligned with GitHub’s stated culture.
Recruiter initially responsive and friendly.
Cons
Process dragged over two months from first contact to final decision.
Weeks of silence between stages.
No feedback or closure after final interviews, rejection email sent late at night on a Friday.
Communication and accountability didn’t match the company’s stated values of transparency and empathy.

Interview
you will go through Multistep numbers of thorough interviews with different managers and VPs, which is great! you can ask all your questions and they are very welcoming.
However, at the end of this long process, you might receive no feedback! just sth general as unfortunately we decided not to proceed!
this happened to me, and I was bummed hard for not being valued enough to at least receive some feedback!

The interview process takes place through multiple stages. The initial stages are fairly straightforward, while the later stages are more comprehensive. I believe there were four separate interviews. The last one with a group including managers and executives.
