The interview process was smooth, the technical discussion with senior engineers was pleasant and made me more eager to join the team. It was the best interview experience I ever had.

Preparing for our interview

All candidates will have the chance to highlight strengths in five different areas

Personality assessment

Role-related skills and industry knowledge

Cognitive ability- usually determined by open ended questions that allow you to show this ability

Carbon fit - how you work within a team and/or individually? What you know about Carbon and why you want to join?

Leadership - show us examples of times you have exhibited leadership traits and how you have nurtured it.

Tips on how to Prepare

Relax, we don’t bite. We are interviewing you as much as you are interviewing us. We’re both finding out if we’re a good fit for each other.

Be prepared. Try to anticipate some of our questions with unique answers, such as “tell us about yourself”.

Be yourself. We love original people and we want to see the best version of yourself.

Know what we do. If you really think we’re a good fit for you, you should know where we’re coming from.

Tell us something we can do better. We like observant people but we like problem solvers even more.

It’s fine to be nervous and we’ll do everything to calm you. But if there’s anything you don’t understand, let your interviewer know and they’ll clarify.
