Our Interview Process

  • We try to be fast and to communicate with you promptly. 
  • From our most recent engineering hire: “GridUnity’s recruiting process was faster and friendlier than elsewhere. I could tell that you cared about me as a person and about my potential. The conversations felt more natural.”
  • We are not interested in talking about basics of Agile but we do want to hear how you adapt the methodology of managing engineering teams in the environment you worked.
  • We would love to hear about challenges, successes and failures of projects you worked on. What are the lessons that you learned?
  • We will have casual conversations where we try to get to know you as a person. We want to know how you think, how you approach challenges, and how you work with others.
  • We care more about ability to learn, grow, think logically, and be creative than we do about general methodologies.
  • We want you to ask plenty of questions, too, so that you can get an accurate sense for whether you’ll love working here.
  • We care about diversity.
  • We care about learning and improving continually, so if you ever have suggestions for us about any part of this job description or our recruiting process, we look forward to hearing them.
