It was a totally ridiculous interview process. I had to face a full round table with about 8 interviewers, felt like a firing squad. And this was for a job that only paid $10/hr and was for 20 hours a week. They asked weird questions that weren't even related to the job. I was qualified and answered relevant questions correctly, but still didn't get the job.

Behavioral Presentation Group
It was a two-phase interview. First, I chatted with the team I would be managing, and then I met with different leaders I'd be collaborating with. The discussions felt natural, and I really appreciated that they brought up questions about diversity, equity, and inclusion. I felt like my enthusiasm for this work resonated with everyone. Every person who interviewed me cared deeply about the mission, and they still do. This has genuinely been the highlight of my interview experiences.

Behavioral Group
This was a panel interview and my initial impression was that the group seemed dysfunctional. I got the sense that there might be some issues with retaining staff in the accounting department because no one from the accounting staff was on the panel. However, the interviewers did mention the top-notch Controller a lot. It felt like a politically charged environment, and I could sense a lot of self-importance from each person as they stated their job title.

It was a long, detailed, and tough interview process with very vague, impersonal questions. They acted fake, and in the end, I didn't get an offer even though I was way overqualified and thought I nailed it.
