I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Graphy in Feb 2023
Interview
Overall was quite a good experience. Kelly was the first point of contact and was very professional. Afterwards, I had a chat with a member of the engineering team, followed by a take-home task. After that, it was a "product interview" followed by an interview with the CEO. The majority of the process was great. The exception being the interview with the CEO. He basically just sat there and read off competency-based questions from a sheet of paper in quite a robotic way. I think he is quite inexperienced in conducting interviews, or so it seemed. Also a little socially awkward.
I applied through other source. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Graphy (Amsterdam) in Dec 2021
Interview
Overall my impression of everyone I interviewed with was good. My main problem is that the process was way too long with over 10 interactions. One 'stage' was a full day with 4 interviews each with two interviewers.
I was rejected at the end of the process for a niche piece of experience that I obviously didn’t have and couldn’t do anything about, which seems fishy to me. This was never included in the job ad and if this was the real reason I was rejected, I shouldn’t have made it to interview 10 in my opinion.
I like the people and the product is exciting, but Graphy seems risk-averse to the point where they are unable to provide a good interview experience to candidates.
Hopeful that they can do better in the future.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
A lot of stuff about past experience, working styles, and other companies that are doing marketing well.
Long process with take home challenge and 2 more technical interviews, including system design. Difficult but fair. After that a culture fit and a behavioral one. You get to meet a couple of potential co workers so you can understand the day to day
