What’s the interview process like?

The process starts with 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.
