Our interview process

As a small, entrepreneurial team, it’s important that you get to meet all the founders and as many of the team members as possible. After all, it’s a 2-way street. We want to know if you’ll fit in the team, and if you have what it takes to help build our rocket ship. And you’re likely to want to assess us to see if you could envision yourself enjoying your time and achieving your personal and professional growth goals with us.
Consequently, we usually have 3 to 4 interviews:
1. First Conversation - A Case Interview (60 min). You’ll be sent a case to prepare ahead of your first interview. There are no right or wrong answers. We just want to understand your approach to solving problems and (particularly for engineers) to test your coding skills.
2. Second / Third Conversation - A ‘Fit’ Interview (45 min). Led by one of the founders. You will also get the chance to ask any questions about the role, the team, and the growth plan.
3. Final conversation - Coffee chat with the CEO (45 min). Congrats you made it thus far. It’s a final fit conversation, the final test of your skills, and importantly a chance for a great chat with Zaheer about Pumpkn, where we’re headed, and how you can accelerate our growth trajectory.
