J'ai postulé via la recommandation d'un employé. Le processus a pris 4 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Superhuman (San Francisco, CA) en août 2021
Entretien
Someone from my graduate program approached us looking for linguists. I responded. About a month later I got a completely unexpected interview. I jumped on it, and while the interviewer I spoke with had a similar background to mine (I checked LinkedIn same degree, same subfield) and was polite, he didn't backchannel the entire interview (adding to a massive anxiety attack, I have GAD) and had a lackluster tone in his voice when we ended the call. I wasn't surprised to receive a form rejection 48 hours later. I'm guessing it had to do with his call not going through right away when he called while I was sitting at my desk waiting for him and the horrible anxiety attack I had the rest of the time as a consequence. Who knows? Maybe he had to do that call to justify hiring someone he'd already handpicked. I just wish they'd stop promising to keep my resume on file and encouraging me to reapply in these things when they clearly don't want to hire me.
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
The usual vague open-ended stuff. "Give me your elevator pitch. Why do you want to work for *us*? Why do you want *this job* in particular? What are your pay expectations? Why are you looking for a change? At what stage are you at in the job-seeking process? Do you have any questions for us?"

Entretien
I applied for the position of Analytical Linguist in Berlin. The whole process was quite long, but transparent and well-structured. Grammarly provided relevant information about the content of each interview, so that I could prepare for it. The interviewers were very helpful and supportive.
There was a preliminary HR interview and an interview with the engineering manager. After that, a take-home task. Next, three interviews about linguistics-NLP, coding and product-oriented work. After that, one last confirmation interview with the director of engineering.

Entretien
I had a phone screen with the recruiter. Was supposed to have a second phone screen with the hiring manager. Completed take home assignment but didn't advance passed that. Recruiter was late to phone screen and didn't send full take home assessment materials which was awkward.

Entretien
The interview process (never concluded) with an interna recruiter from Grammarly was the most disappointing experience ever. They contacted me and they held a couple of long interviews, after which the internal recruiter (always the same) only had positive feedback. After saying they would schedule soon the next step, they entirely disappeared. My second interview was also on technical problems which I proposed original and principled solutions for. I found Grammarly to be the most unprofessional company I dealt with. Stay away from them if you're experienced and generous in your thought-sharing.
