I applied in-person. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at MuleSoft (New York, NY)
Interview
Very thorough process consisting of multiple rounds and culminating in an HQ visit to San Francisco. Started with phone screen, progressed to onsite 1:1 interviews with hiring manager. First round concluded with skype interview with hiring manager's boss. Final round was in San Francisco with executive team, including CEO.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What have you done that has contributed to your employer outside of your role
Great to hear that you had a positive experience! Welcome to the MuleSoft family. If you have any additional feedback you'd like to share to make our candidate experience even better, feel free to reach out to me directly.
Okay, very interested in knowing my drive and reasons behind applying. Multiple in-person interviews sequentially, mostly behavioural, one mock phone call scenario - focused on gatekeepers and cold calling etc
Okay interview process, had several rounds in a day, focus was very much on money motivation, fewer professional competency questions. Overall an okay experience, not necessarily a bad one. Had phone call screen and in person session
They make you do a pointless exercise where it involves learning their platform and presenting it back.
This is so time intensive and High level of effort for candidates.
On top they judge you then based on your proficiency of their platform. How can you be expected to be an expert at something you have just looked at?
Totally unfair and designed to set you up for failure. I'm glad I didn't end up working for such a clueless organisation.
