    I was rejected by the Payment Intelligence team after a rigorous on-site. I wish I could have landed it, as it was mine to lose. My ego is still bruised from that loss, mostly because the hiring manager was clearly interested (but cannot participate in the panel decision) and I’ve only had more rejections since then. That was over 4 months ago, my last real on-site interview. I’m still trying to land my next one.

      Oof sorry to hear that, good luck on your search! Did you have a good impression of payment intelligence?

      The onsite experience is independent of the hiring team. You do have 2 non-graded sessions, one over lunch and the other with the HM. Those are your chances to learn more about the team. I’m not sure if I met any potential teammates or not, other than the HM.
