I spoke with an Executive HR who was very direct and got straight to the point. They asked questions to effectively drive the conversation, and it was a really pleasant chat with a great exchange of ideas.

Technical Case Presentation

It was a tough process with multiple interviews with different people. I had a technical deep dive in the fifth interview and was asked to come up with strategies in some other interviews. After that, it all went silent. No feedback, no replies. I'd like to know why. Did someone else get the job? Did you think I wasn't technically good enough? Was my strategy and vision not what you were looking for?

Behavioral Technical Presentation

The hiring process was straightforward. The first three calls were with the hiring manager and the team I would be working with. This gave me a good chance to learn about the environment and see if I'd fit in. Then there was an in-person panel interview, followed by two more EXEC interviews.
