We believe Sands Capital has a special culture, so we actively seek to protect it by hiring thoughtfully. In our experience, a comprehensive interview process is mutually beneficial. The average candidate can expect four to five rounds of interviews—some via phone, some via video, and some in-person. Candidates for senior roles should expect additional interviews.
The length of the process largely depends on candidate and team availability. It may take longer if there are schedule conflicts or if critical team members are out of the office. While we hope to move quickly, there are sometimes factors outside our control.
Typically, the first round is a non-technical, introductory screening with a member of our talent acquisition team, conducted via phone.
The second round is a technical interview with the hiring manager, conducted via a Zoom video call.
The third round may be a series of technical interviews with members of the hiring team, conducted via Zoom video calls.
The fourth round may entail a skills assessment (e.g., presentation, project, stock pitch, or writing sample).
The final round will be an onsite, in-person interview at our Arlington, Virginia, headquarters.
Not all positions require a skills assessment (e.g., a presentation, project, stock pitch, or writing sample). However, some positions will require this step, typically before a final onsite interview. We will tell you if we expect this to be a part of your interview process.
Sands Capital will reimburse standard and reasonable travel expenses (e.g., train, coach airfare, hotel) if receipts are provided. Non-local candidates who travel to our office for an interview will be provided with an expense reimbursement template to complete and can expect to be reimbursed via a check mailed within two to three weeks of the interview.
Sands Capital offers a generous benefits package, including medical insurance (which includes a discount program for vision), dental insurance, life and personal accident insurance, short- and long-term disability insurance, flexible spending accounts (medical and dependent) as well as paid stock market (NYSE) holidays and vacation, sick, and parental leave. We also have a variety of generous miscellaneous benefits.
Sands Capital may reimburse hires for standard and reasonable relocation expenses. Details are determined on a case-by-case basis, and the reimbursement is taxable income for the person hired.
