J'ai postulé via la recommandation d'un employé. J'ai passé un entretien chez Xero (Melbourne) en juil. 2025
Entretien
It was the most shocking experience I ever had in an interview process. Case study interview booked, lots of work go into the case study, had a 45 minutes interview, no feedback for a couple of weeks, then an email saying:
From: Danielle Cwirko-Godycki
Heard you did a great job on the folio review. I am OOO tomorrow, but I'll circle back Wednesday on next steps and once I have feedback from the team!
Best,
Danielle
Followed by an automated email, the ones you can't respond to saying:
from: Xero

Many thanks,

The interview process felt prolonged with multiple rounds and created candidate uncertainty due to vague timelines, requiring consensus from overly many stakeholders, significantly slowing final decisions and potentially creating an impression of inefficiency.

Question 1
Usual past experience etc, industry specific stuff.
J'ai passé un entretien chez Xero (Londres, Angleterre)
Entretien
Ok interview, but very vague and the interview did feel rushed. Could have done with more clarity throughout the process about next steps and the company culture didn’t seem great.
