Interview
Hiring manager interview, then a 1v1 interview with a current employee. Everyone I interacted with was bizarre. There is something weird going on but I never felt like I was speaking to a real person.
In my 1v1 interview, the interviewer was late and announced they would shorten it by half. Um, ok. Asked about standard STAR questions like ‘tell me a time when something didn’t go well’ which I answered (and was interrupted while answering) then the interviewer proceeded to ask strange, irrelevant questions about circumstances beyond my control.
It would be like someone asking you, as a project manager who answered why a project went wrong, why your boss chose to hire vendor A over vendor B. None of that is relevant to the situation or your ability as an employee.
A very strange experience overall.

First I passed the assessment its not an easy one, next step is phone screen 1 hour interview, my recruiter shared helpful information; connect 12 LP's to your work examples using a STAR method, 2-3 examples per LP.
Process was relatively straight forward, I didn’t make it to the loop. What I can tell you is the recruiter will be overly excited about you as they are with all candidates. They’ll tell you, you can expect to hear back in two days for feedback. Truth is, if they reject you then you will not hear back within 2 days it will be more like a week. Silence means you aren’t getting the job, they’re very binary.

Good interview, reached the marathon loop of interviews. It was intense and quite focused on STAR stories obviously. Got some nice feedbacks as well to improve in case I managed to get another interview in a few months
