First, I was contacted and interviewed by the Head of Technical Recruiting. Then, I had an interview with the VP of Strategy, Data and New Businesses, and last, an interview with a senior engineer.
The initial contact was OK but unfortunately, the first scheduled interview didn't happen as she didn't show up. We were able to re-schedule and we had a 45 minutes interview the next day or so. I didn't know what to expect but overall, so for every question, I tried to expand on my experience and background but I believe it was an error as she said that I was going off on a tangent on moments. With that feedback, which I appreciated, I tried to be more concise and clear on the answers that I provided to her and the rest of the interviewers I interacted with.
My second interview with the VP of Strategy, Data and New Businesses went pretty well, It's great when you enjoy a conversation and things go smooth. This person has an impressive background, experience and it was motivating me to continue with the process.
The worst part of the process was the technical interview, which I was provided with some bullet points in advance (going to share those in the "interview questions sections down below"). The reason I'm qualifying this as negative is that the technical interviewer asked most of the technical questions for a senior engineer role, instead of a Director of Engineering-like position, where they should have measured my leadership, decision making, and people management skills overall. That didn't happen much, I was expected to answer ambiguous questions, in which, I usually solve with my team in a real-world scenario. Those questions were truly aligned to pain-points he had where he was waiting for a specific answer no alternatives nor additional questions on return.
I haven't heard back from them since then, I suspect that the feedback of this young professional was not positive but it did tell me a lot about of the culture of the company, the overrated roles (they are all "head of", "director of") and at the end of the day, it's not a real senior leadership role, where they expect you to solve deep technical issues.
By reading more feedback on Glassdoor, I've found that I was not the only one having this type of issue. Even though the interview experience overall was not bad, improvements opportunities and feedback are missing at the end of the process.
