It was a pretty straightforward interview process for a senior role, starting with a 30-minute chat with the hiring manager. Then, there was a longer 1.5-hour interview with the core team, and it wrapped up with a 30-minute conversation with the director. It felt easy overall, especially since no presentation was required.

I first had a recorded interview, then an interview with two people from HR that lasted about 30 minutes. Afterwards, I did two English evaluations — one for speaking and one for writing — and finally, I had an interview with the Hiring Managers, which was a panel format.

The interview process was super smooth and easy, right from the start to the end. A lot of the questions were about how you handle people and manage teams, showing they really care about good leadership. They did ask some technical stuff, but it wasn't as much as the people management questions, so it seems like leading and managing is more important for this job. They also asked a bunch about leadership and building teams, so they want to know if you can lead and work well with others. They kept me updated and told me what was next all the time, which was nice and made it feel really open.
