These are typically conducted over video calls and involve team members from your prospective department. For example, if you’re applying for a design role, you’ll discuss your portfolio and approach to design challenges. Engineers will discuss technical problems and coding strategies.
3. Final interviews: The final stage involves a series of in-depth interviews, which may take place in person or virtually, depending on your location. You’ll meet potential colleagues, managers, and other stakeholders. This stage often includes a panel interview, where you present your previous work and solve real-time problems to demonstrate your skills and thought processes. For instance, you might whiteboard solutions or discuss how you’d handle specific scenarios relevant to your role.
