Behavioral Presentation

I interviewed to meet with the executive management team, including the CEO, CFO, CTO, SVP, HR Manager, Director of Software Development, Director of Custom Engineering and Rapid Response, and Director of IT. We discussed the company's current hiring needs and how my experience and expertise would help. Everyone was very pleasant and enthusiastic, making me feel it's a place I'd want to work. They extended an offer the same day I finished the interview. It was professional and timely. I'm glad they chose me.

Behavioral Presentation

Had a phone screen with the hiring VP, which was a good back-and-forth for about 30 minutes. Then they scheduled an in-person meeting where I met with the hiring VP and two other Regional VPs. I came back for a second round and met with everyone again, plus the CRO. I got a verbal offer from the hiring VP. I had to wait about a week or two for HR to give me the written offer, but overall it was a good process.

First, I had a phone screen with HR, and they were just collecting information about me. Then, a week later, I had a follow-up with the hiring manager. The hiring manager didn't even have my resume, and her phone connection was really bad. So, the company really dropped the ball on preparing for this.
