Very thoughtful and through. Diverse cross functional team involvement. Apart from assessment for core technical competency, Zipline tests your how you fit in the general value system of the company

Applied online, Got an email within a week asking to answer a few questions. I replied the next day. Then heard nothing, then out of nowhere after a MONTH got an email asking to schedule a phone interview. Then in the interview was asked mostly behavior, situational questions.. nothing much hard. Then was told that he will discuss notes with the team and again will schedule a technical phone screen interview with another guy. I was dumbfounded. Why didn't you take the guy with you so could have asked both technical and behavioral questions and could have gotten a much better understanding of the candidate? Isn't it better to understand the person at the same time in both technical and personal aspects? I never experienced such a long and unpredictable process... Save your time and most important respect the time, feelings and work of the candidate. You are not an MNC.. also you are not making a spacecraft which will carry humans to Mars.. so don't behave like so picky and act like you are a big multinational company with hundreds of thousands of employees.. .. startups should work in a fast pace and should be able to make decisions fast and efficiently.. not going through a million processes just to make you feel that you are so much important and select the right/perfect person... I applied because I was passionate about their work and thought I won't have to go thru a long process of MNCs and NO communication with the candidates afterward and such a slow, multistep process. Let the people know the result and reduce the time of the process.
