I applied online, and the process took two months.

I applied online and got a response a week later to arrange a phone interview, which was scheduled for a couple of weeks after that. The phone interview covered my management experience and discussions around scaling teams as a manager, with some hypothetical situations. After the phone interview, I didn't hear anything for another week, but I was then invited to the next stage: an interview on-site. I submitted my availability for the on-site interview and then, a few days later, got a confirmation that the interview was going to be in a couple of weeks' time.

The on-site interview consisted of two rounds, each with two people. The first was a role-specific interview with the CTO and a backend engineer, and the second was what they described as a general interview with the Head of People and a Product Manager. Both rounds covered manager questions, dealing with hypothetical situations, discussing my experience, and why I want to be a people manager. The general interview then covered some general personal questions, such as what my goals are and what I would be doing if money was no object.

After the on-site interview, I didn't hear anything for a few days, then got an email saying they'd like to give me some feedback and arrange a call, which I interpreted as meaning I wasn't getting an offer, so I was anxious for the next couple of days trying to arrange a phone call. Once I did manage to get on a call, I was told that I was going to get an offer, which I accepted a couple of days later.

What would you do if money was no object?

Have you ever had to let someone go before? Why?
