Went through three interviews with three different teams. The first one went well, and they moved me to the second. The second interview was with a small team and they asked a mix of random questions. The final interview was with a VP. Everything seemed to go well, and they all said I was a good fit. I didn't hear back for about a week or two, even after I followed up. About two months later, I received a generic rejection email.

HR reached out to schedule an initial chat with two team members. I then advanced to a subsequent interview with the Senior VP of Sustainability. Unfortunately, I did not get selected after that interview.

It was a mix of online and in-person interviews with the recruiter, two HR VPs, and the CHRO. The questions weren't really planned out by the interviewers or TA, and sometimes they felt a bit random and not related to the job description.

Confirmed questions2 questions
  • Questions about job functions changed throughout the interviews, for example, employee relations was brought up even though it wasn't in the job description.
  • The responsibilities of the shared services group seemed to change depending on who I was interviewing with.
