I decided I wanted to join Airtable when I got to experience Airtable's smooth interview process as a candidate, a process I knew I could soon be facilitating if/when I got hired. I applied for the role though LinkedIn one day after it opened and I was invited for a phone screen with a peer one week later. Shortly after, I was invited to speak with the hiring manager, who invited me to a virtual onsite (three more interviews) two weeks out at the end of the interview. Receiving a Grubhub gift card for lunch during the onsite was a nice touch. After the onsite, I was invited to a final conversation with the department head one week later. The reference checks took another week, and I verbally accepted my offer one week after that. The interview questions were mostly behavioral and sometimes redundant, but I suppose the interviewers had to be through because culture is everything at Airtable. I also had to be prepared to speak to my experience and future goals, as Airtable supports internal growth.

The application requires you to go above and beyond to answer questions that assess various things. A recruiter reached out to me to schedule a phone screen. The phone screen went well and a zoom interview was scheduled.
