This process was a time sink. You meet 7 people across 3 rounds. It was exhausting to maintain energy and focus throughout. They didn't even discuss salary or job details. I put in a lot of effort and travel costs. I had experience beyond what they were looking for. After rejecting me for a 'different candidate,' they immediately reposted the job. Feels like a ghost job.

The interview process started with an initial phone screening conducted by an external company. They asked some general questions, including why I decided to apply. After that, I was invited for an online interview with an HR person who specializes in Finance. This interview involved a review of my resume and questions about the tasks I'm currently performing.

I started the interview process in November 2021. It went on for over a month, likely because of the holidays. I had an initial phone chat with a team member, then a video meeting with an accounting manager, followed by another interview with a different accounting manager. Unfortunately, I didn't get selected, so I'm not sure if there were more interviews planned. The vibe was really good; I liked talking with both managers. They kept things pretty relaxed, which made me feel at ease during the interviews. The questions they asked were quite similar and interesting.
Confirmed questions4 questions
- Can you share something about yourself that isn't detailed on your resume?
- Suppose you had unlimited resources for money and training; what career would you choose?
