The interview process was very straightforward, which I appreciated! Two weeks after I sent in my resume and cover letter, I received an edit test, which I completed over a long weekend. After submitting that, I was then scheduled for a brief phone interview. No trick questions — just a candid conversation about my experience as well as some of the nitty gritty job details. Soon after that, I was asked to come in and meet my immediate managers. They were warm and welcoming when asking about my background, my work, as well as why I wanted to join the Hive. My next and last step was to meet with 6 other managers within the company, one-by-one. It sounds intimidating, but everyone was extremely friendly. You'll be fine as long as you truly understand your role, your skills, and how they can complement other people's jobs. It was a little bit of a lengthy process, but their thoroughness is what allowed me — and their team — to make the best decision. I never once felt in the dark, and I always knew I could reach out for any questions or status updates.

Painless! In fact, I really enjoyed my conversations with everyone at Bombas. It was a fairly extensive process (a copy test, phone screen, a first round in-person, and a final round in-person interview with 6-ish executives) but I found everyone to be genuine and easy to talk to. There were no gotcha questions or tests, and I felt that I had ample space to speak about my skillset and ask questions. Plus, I walked out of the interview with some socks! Nice touch.
