Interviewing at NM

The interview process varies based on the role you are applying for. However, in most cases you can expect to have a phone/video screen with a recruiter, followed by two to four additional interviews with the hiring manager and team. Typically, the more senior the role, the more interviews you can expect. The format of your interview – whether it’s one-on-one or panel – will also vary by the role and team. 

No matter how the interview process looks for you, your recruiter will keep you informed along the way and give you plenty of time to prepare. 

All initial phone/video screens with recruiters are virtual. After that, it’s completely dependent on the role. While the majority of interviews are virtual, some teams like you to come in and see the campus in person for your last round of interviews, especially more senior roles. You can get more details from your recruiter about when and where your interviews will be held.

You want to nail your interview, right? To best prepare, be ready to discuss how your skills and experiences align with the role you’re applying for. It’s also helpful to research our company values, culture, and recent initiatives to understand what drives us (this site has all sorts of good info on who we are). Lastly, prepare thoughtful questions to show your genuine interest in joining our team. Check out our blog to find additional tips our recruiters have for nailing your interview.

We get it, technical issues sometimes happen. If you’re having problems with your zoom link, reach out to the recruiter and the coordinator who scheduled your interview and they’ll help you with a new link or will reschedule the interview.

Interviews can be super stressful. But remember you’ve made it through the initial screen, so we know you’ve got the skills. This is the time when the hiring team wants to get to know you better as a person. So make eye contact, stay engaged, and demonstrate enthusiasm for the role and company. The more you can come across as authentic, personal and relaxed, the better your skills and experience will come across.

Some roles require you to have specific skills and competencies. In these cases, you may be asked to complete a technical assessment that involves problem-solving exercises, coding tests, case studies, or other tasks that demonstrate your technical expertise and analytical abilities. Your recruiter will let you know in advance if you need to complete a technical assessment.
