The interview process comprised a total of five rounds:
1. Initial Screening: A conversation with the recruiter focused on setting expectations and understanding my background.
2. Technical Screening: This was conducted by a senior leader. We discussed my experience, the nature of work I’ve done, and assessed my suitability for the role. It was an engaging conversation where we also explored specific approaches to running workshops and various aspects of agile methodologies.
3. Facilitation Test: This round involved a case study with two senior leaders. It was quite intense and divided into multiple sections. It assessed my ability to lead workshops, manage stakeholders, handle agile delivery, and approach real-world challenges. The interviewers were particularly interested in understanding my thought process rather than arriving at a specific solution.
4. Leadership Round: This round was conducted by the CEO and COO, along with the recruitment team. They shared the company’s vision, values, and ways of working while evaluating cultural fit. It was a great opportunity to interact with the C-suite and ask questions about the company and its culture.
5. Final offer rollout and negotiation round
Overall, the interview process was thorough and engaging. I genuinely enjoyed all my conversations with the interviewers. The coordination by the recruiter was also smooth and well-handled.
