Enterprise strategic view-take the full company perspective over departments or channels 4. Challenge ideas respectfully by sharing your real opinion with conviction disagree in a way people feel heard 5. Bring people along by providing context and cascading information share openly and inclusively You will thrive here and may just do the best work of your life if... * You are hungry, are comfortable with smart risks, * You like to get sh*t, I mean-stuff done * You can be both clear and kind-empathetic yet hold people accountable * You want to be an integral part of shaping an amazing work culture and being a culture-add * You are comfortable being natural, casual, open, and even a bit playful at work This may not be your ideal next career move if you like... * ...a lot of structure, rules, and uniformity * ...a lot of command and control management * ...a "big company" impersonal, cog-in-the-machine vibe-that ain't us * ...to build a beautiful, orderly bureaucracy * ... things to not change much (we suggest the elevator business for that) Here's the deal with our not-so-standard, um...standard interview process because we know you are the curious type, which is why you're still reading this... * Quick 30 min phone chat with a high energy member of our Talent Acquisition team to do a quick overview of your background and answer any burning questions you have * Team interviews are kept to a minimum to foster a more efficient, candidate-friendly process (too many interviewers yields little value and drags out the process for you-and who wants that, right?): + A short series of in-person or video interviews in a 1:1 setting these are usually with the hiring manager, one or two other team members, and a person from another team to get broader perspectives (note: we don't do panel interviews because they don't give interviewers a chance to ask you unique questions, and we assign interviewers different roles so we're probing different capabilities) * A case study or job task to simulate what you'd actually be doing in the role might be included (since your job is not actually to be interviewed for a living, why is that the thing companies rely on so much?) Yes, there will be a small panel for this one so you don't have to do it more than once, and yes, they might ask you some kind yet probing questions at the end after the raucous applause stops. * Once your interview concludes, the team will meet for an in-depth consultative process to ensure we are hiring the right person for the right job.
