Process
HM screen, Eng 1:1 (system design), PM 1:1 (behavioral)
The hiring manager screen was mostly a one-way conversation about selling the promise of what Via is trying to build through acquisitions versus organic building. The engineering screen was very focused on trying to test knowledge and passion around the problem space of revamping suburban transit. The PM screen was mostly focused on understanding scope and impact.
There was very little skills testing beyond the technical design, so this might reflect that kind of culture within product development (building without strategy).
