2. Role Fit Interview (30 mins): Here, you'll meet either the Hiring Manager or a team member of a similar level to discuss your ways of working and understand your skillset and ability for the role.
3. Competency Deep Dive (1 hour): This interview usually consists of a practical element (case study, Presentation, Technical Problem Solving etc) designed to give you a broader understanding of how we drive impact at Polar. This will be with the hiring manager and one other team member.

We value your time and effort in the application process, and we aim to provide feedback as quickly as possible.
Two non-negotiable values:
We want to be a 10x startup - starts with everyone having 10x impact
The superceding principle. Prioritize actions with the highest expected impact. If it does not move the needle, do not do it.
Customer obsession - exists only to help users.
We exist to create value for brands and users. Never ship or act in ways that harm them. Every initiative must clearly increase user value or remove friction to realizing value.
Some operating principles
The only way to win is to move fast
Try 100 things vs the competitor’s one attempt
Action precedes information
Every person and every system improves each week.
Growth is compounding.
Hold a weekly retro and a weekly forward plan.
Be ruthless on standards, never rude in delivery.
Disagree directly, commit fully once a decision is made.
We are here to win, not to be right, or to do what we wish
Do what it takes to win. “Not my scope” is not an excuse. Do what makes us win, not what we feel like doing.
Set goals you believe in, then hit them. If at risk, reforecast early with a plan to close gaps.
Behaviors we do not tolerate
Low or no impact.
Lack of desire to win.
Accepting passive failure.
Actions that harm users or sacrifice long‑term user value.
Politics and “winning the argument” over winning the market.
