Overall Interview Process & What to Expect

👋 Initial Interview


We want to get to know you and your experience, what you're looking for in your next role, and to tell you about what we're working on at Notion now and in the future. We want to make sure there's mutually a good fit. This conversation with the recruiter will be ~20 minutes.

🧱 Hiring Manager Interview


This is a 30 minute interview with a manager from the Data Science team. You'll talk through previous technical projects, going deep into details about the decisions you made as you built it. Think about some of the projects you've worked on in the past that you're most proud of. The tactics & methods you've used in the past for statistical analysis will be relevant to the situational problem we ask.
