So the interview was like, first a recruiter chat, then a behavioral interview where we talked about leadership, how I work with others, and solve problems. They asked about my strategic impact, how I use data, and keeping teams aligned. It was pretty straightforward and professional.

Super fun, very informative and nice. People were on time and welcoming; I felt good about my time at the offices. The team was engaging and it didn't feel like a corporate interview. It felt good to have a real, connecting type of questions in our conversations.

Started with a recruiter phone screen. Then, an intro call with the hiring manager about technical skills. Next, a panel interview with 4 people covering efficiency, collaboration, leadership, and effectiveness. Finally, an offer.
