The Danger Zone: Top Reasons Candidates Fail
Based on our database of Positive interview outcomes, avoid these common traps:
- Gating basic utility behind sales demo requests while calling it a product-led growth initiative
- Cannibalizing enterprise deal sizes by offering overly generous free tiers without meaningful feature gates
- Forcing users to complete a full legal consent audit before exploring basic campaign templates
- Relying exclusively on daily active user counts which misrepresent periodic campaign creation cycles in B2B

Frequently asked questions
How long does the Positive interview process take?
Most candidates spend between 4 and 8 weeks from recruiter screen to offer. The onsite loop itself runs in a single day or is split across two half-days, with debrief and offer typically within 5 business days after.
How should I prepare specifically for Positive?
Focus on three things: (1) the company DNA shown above - what they actually grade for, (2) the rounds in your loop, especially the round most candidates underestimate, and (3) drilling on the question types in this guide using a structured framework like CIRCLES or STAR.
Does this apply to engineering or design roles at Positive?
The DNA stays the same - what changes is the round mix. SWE candidates face coding screens instead of Product Sense; designers face portfolio reviews and design exercises. The "what they value" and behavioral signals carry across all functions.
