I applied through a recruiter. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Cross Ocean Partners (London, England) in Mar 2025
Interview
First meeting with hiring manager (VC). Second round with hiring manager and other heads of departments (in person). Third round case study and interviews with team members (VC). Fourth round meeting with senior management (in person).
Interviews were well organized and flowed smoothly. Feedback was provided pretty quickly after each round - whole process took approx. 4-5 weeks. Friendly people!
Couldn't reach agreement in relation to role/package. Offer could have been more competitive.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Experience within IR , in relation to materials production, DDQs/RFIs and ODD. Case study involved working on a few pieces of marketing material
Pretty horrendous experience, having dedicated quite some time and effort to c. 5 rounds of interviews, including a case study, only to be completely ghosted at the end of the process for almost 2 weeks. Horrible way to treat candidates.
General questions asked, nothing too challenging and seemed to know exactly what they want. Everyone seemed nice with a decent set up. The role wasn’t right which both parties could see quite quickly.
