Cypress Employees Celebrate

Who we are

Our team is a community of talented, humble, kind, respectful, driven, and thoughtful people.

Cypress Hiring Principles

We’ve created these principles to ensure every interaction we have with candidates is fair and enjoyable.

Career Opportunity

The focus of our interview process relies on the understanding of what our career opportunities are, transparently, relative to what the candidate is looking for. The more candid you are with us, the better we can inform you on roles to meet your expectations.

Respect

Every candidate is important to us and deserves respect throughout the process. This means we show up to interviews on time, prepared, with sincerity and open-mindedness. We give feedback when we can and respond and communicate as much as possible.

Decision Frameworks

Our goal is NOT to sell you on a job, but rather give you the information and tools we have access to on our side, to help inform a decision. This relies heavily on the idea that you as the candidate must also understand what your priorities are—what matters most in your decision making—by creating your own decision framework.

A clear decision framework enables better career decisions. At Cypress, we guide you through this process so that you can identify what is most important in your next role.

Mutual Trust

We strive for open communication and feedback during the hiring process. Our goal is to be as transparent as possible on topics like who Cypress is as a company, where the business is going, what we are evaluating you on, what the industry environment is like, what resources we have access to, what stage we are at, etc. In exchange, we ask candidates to be thoughtful and honest about their background and experiences. We believe strongly that trust is the foundation of true innovation and partnership, and that starts in the interview process.

Cypress Hiring Process

We’re deeply committed to providing the best hiring process possible.

01Talent Acquisition Interview

As a first step, a member of the talent acquisition team will meet with you to provide information on the role, Cypress’ product, our company trajectory, and the team you’d be working with. We’ll dive into what’s motivating your job search, what you desire in your next move and your career history to date.


We’ll discuss your decision framework, in order to help us determine what is most important to you in the process. We’ll also discuss salary bands for the role, the interview process, work authorization status, and any other logistical or contextual details that are important to you.

02Hiring Manager Interview

You’ll meet with your future manager and career development advocate, the hiring manager. They will discuss a bit about their role, why they joined Cypress, and what they see as an opportunity for you. They’ll dive into specifics on the position and your experience, in order to assess a mutual fit. You can expect open conversation, our goal is to determine if this is a good fit for both of us!

03Team Interview

Next up, you’ll meet with members of the teams (direct and cross-functional) that you’ll be working closely with. This is usually three 45 minute interviews. Each person will have a specific focus that consists of the following: culture/behavior interview, technical skills assessment, and leadership interview for future managers and leaders of Cypress.

04Closing Discussion

Once we’ve debriefed and collected the team’s notes, we’ll decide if the Cypress team is supportive of bringing you on board. We share the feedback with you in full, and also gauge how you are feeling about us. Do you have any concerns, hesitations, red flags, or information you need more clarity on? Our goal is to determine if there is a mutual fit versus just handing over an offer. If we feel there is good mutual alignment, we’ll discuss offer details and gain formal approval.

Benefits

Our benefits and perks are designed with your life “outside the office” in mind.
