Was introduced via a external recruiter: 1) introduction call with the founder/cto where he asked questions related to past experience and also explained more on the product and where he sees it going 2) system design round with the cto: asked a average question. I dint do really well mostly because there were some gaps in my knowledge and less practice. At the end of the interview he mentioned how they put the system in production and where my assumptions would break or what won’t work. Did not get through the round. Overall in the interview process, I felt the founder was welcoming and treated me well like a peer. From the way he discussed his vision for mutiny in intro call to sharing how the actual system in system design round is put into production. Or even the personalized follow up mails. Have a very good opinion of him and the company, wish them all the best.
I met with the CTO for an initial screening, hoping to learn more about the team and culture. Unfortunately, he seemed completely uninterested from the start and largely refused to answer my questions about Mutiny’s people or processes. When I asked how he actively fosters the company’s professed culture and values, his response was literally, “It pretty much handles itself.”
As someone who’s followed the CEO’s talks on the importance of thoughtful hiring and cultural stewardship, this was really disheartening. If culture is important to you, don't be fooled by their public messaging
I applied through other source. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Mutiny (New York, NY)
Interview
Relaxed but thorough. The interview comprised of three stages - first stage, getting to know you and the company including basic questions. Second stage included a technical assessment which comprised of a three hour task. Final stage would involve speaking to the line manager and other BDRs.
