Interview Process
The interview process starts the same for every candidate: getting to know the team members through 1 to 2 conversations about Watershed, your experience, and your interests.
- Next steps can vary by role, but usual next steps are a skill or experience interview (e.g. a coding interview for an engineer, a portfolio review for a designer, deeper experience call for other roles)
- which leads to a virtual or in person interview panel
We prioritize transparency and lack of surprise throughout the process.
