Interview
While employed as a Assistant Vice President I applied for a position in a different department for the role of Vice President. After a number of internal conversations as I was interviewed for the job along with a number of outside candidates. The interviews were with the senior management team of the group I was interviewing for (4 interviews in total). I heard back a few days after the interviews with an offer from the HR department.
3-4 interviews.
Study the topics in depth and the company in depth, practice a lot.
First with Human Resources, then some peers and then my boss.
Others can have another interview with the boss’s boss.

Interview
Worst interview process of my career. Received a sketchy, spam-like Karat assessment link without any initial HR screening; I literally had to message HR via LinkedIn just to verify its legitimacy. The actual interview was outsourced to Karat and designed purely to stress candidates, giving only 1 minute for intros and a rushed minute for Python MCQs. Post-interview, there was zero feedback. I had to beg HR for updates, as they lacked the basic decency to send even an automated rejection email. Completely unprofessional and unstructured.

Question 1
Give an intro about you in 1 minute and just cut me off within 30 secs
Recruiter called me for position. 1st interview was scheduled shortly after. Interview was pretty standard no trick questions. Interview personal were very professional andd asked for the interview to be more of a conversation and not just one sided.
