First, there was a phone screening for about 30 minutes. After that, I had a 2nd and 3rd round of interviews with the people I'd be working directly with. They seemed to place a heavy emphasis on metrics and numbers, which I found a little concerning.

  • Are you willing to travel?
  • What kind of metrics have you hit in previous roles?

Had a quick 30-minute screening with an admin, then a longer interview with management. Both were online via Zoom and scheduled pretty close to the interview date, like a day or two before. I withdrew my application before finding out what happened next.
