It started with a recruiter screen, then I met with the hiring manager, a vp, and an engineering vp. We talked about the role and how I'd handle the challenges involved. It wasn't technical, more about my process and how I approach things.

Behavioral Presentation
I went through 3 interviews with different people, including the company president. During my interview with the president, he asked me about what I had been told regarding the job. I shared the information I had, but he appeared displeased, stating it wasn't accurate, which was contrary to what I was initially informed.

Behavioral Other
The interview process overall was pretty straightforward. It started with a phone call with the recruiter, followed by a chat with the divisional operations manager. The manager sent over an initial offer via email, making it clear over the phone that it was just a starting point and that negotiations were expected. When I submitted my counter offer, it took weeks to get a response and there wasn't much movement on their end. Upon receiving the final written offer, I noticed a clause that could have significantly impacted a large part of the total compensation, which was never mentioned before. So, if you're considering this company, definitely read every single detail in your written offer. The whole negotiation and offer process dragged on for over two months from the initial informal offer.
