We want to make sure you are as prepared as possible for your interviews. Here is some additional information and some tips about interviewing at Mapbox.
Familiarize yourself with Mapbox:
- Values
- Products & Services
- The role you’re applying for
Our interview questions are designed to help us understand how you might approach common scenarios encountered here at Mapbox. Please keep the following in mind:
- Be honest. Here at Mapbox, we are okay with taking calculated risks and making mistakes, as this is an important part of how we reflect, learn, and grow.
- Provide data. We are very data-driven when making decisions to move forward, presenting work, and evaluating impact. Try to incorporate relevant data and metrics when talking about your experience to paint a better picture for your interviewer.
- “I” not “we”. Interviewers want to know what you did or accomplished, not your team. Discuss what you as an individual contributor owned and delivered. It's okay to mention things like 'my team' or 'we did this', but when it gets to the nitty gritty details make sure to clearly present your work!
- Be detailed & concise. Be as specific as possible, while still showing the high level picture. Be prepared for multiple follow-up questions. The interviewer will dive deep into your examples to fully understand the scope of the work and the impact you had. They may ask you to elaborate if they need more context.
Throughout your interview(s) you'll be asked behavioral questions that are focused on Mapbox's Company Values. It is okay to repeat 1-2 examples but try your best to use a different example for each question. We recommend coming prepared with 3-5 different work examples you can speak to during each interview.
