Colloquio
I had referred by a friend. Had a recruiter call me and explain the process. A telephonic screening was setup for a technical screening. The interviewer called on time and we had a good discussion for about an hour. It was nice talking about my background, technical skills, managerial skills etc.
I am happy to report that after a day I got an email from another recruiter requesting for an In-Person interview. Will update this once i finish my in-person interview after a few weeks.

Domanda 1
who was your best hire, how did you help him perform and grow. who was your worst hire and how do you handle low performers, tell me about a time when there is conflict in decision making and how did you manage, tell me you worst mistake/blunder and what did you learn, tell me how do you make sure the deliverables are of the right quality what metrics will you track. Finally lets design a system like Netflix/Amazon Instant Video. first few questions took 30 mins and the netflix design question took about 25 mins. last 5 mins was me asking questions to him about amazon
Phone screen, 5 1 hour interviews for loop
Each hour was dedicated to 2 LPs. System design was more collaborative than i anticipated which was a pleasant surprise. The phone screen mostly focused on my previous experiences

Colloquio
The interview process is straightforward but intense.
First interview was with another Software Dev Manager in the same team. After that the famous loop interview where I had to take 5 interviews in a row over two days ( using paid holidays at work ). Recruiter gave a lot of information about possible questions and helped with materials. However, I had to use same stories few times as the different interviewers asked same questions few times.
Everything is okay, I had a good time during the interviews and it was a good exercise. However, I simply do not understand why they have to call to reject? I am not a customer to be obsessed with. A straight cut rejection via email works better than taking time out of my busy schedule.
If they used this time to share some feedback, that would be useful. If they do not share any reason why I have to continue formal small talk just to get the rejection on my face?

A time you were driving toward a goal and realized more than halfway in that it may not be the best goal.

Had 1 round of System design interview. I thought the interview went ok, if not bad, it went decently well. Received a rejection response, while asking to apply 6 months later.
