I had a preliminary chat with their Talent Acquisition Manager, Peyman, who reached out to me on LinkedIn. It was very casual and I learned a lot about office goings-on and their company culture as well as giving a basic overview of how my experience set me up for the role. This call gave me a very positive impression of Sparkfund's culture. I am particularly moved by their authentic commitment to improving diversity and inclusion, right down to sharing salary up front to improve pay equity. I was asked to submit samples of my work that relate to the role in advance of the next interview. The second phone interview was with the SVP of Marketing - we discussed the role and I shared my experience. The role wasn't the right fit, but my experience was very positive and I would certainly apply for other roles in the future based on what I learned about the company.
