It was a multiple stage interview process with different stakeholders. The first interview was very much a one-way conversation. The bulk of the time was spent asking me questions. I was given less than 5 min to ask my list of questions at the tail end of the session. I left the interview without a clear picture of the role. I was asked to do a "45 minute" personality test. When logging in to the test, I found out that there were actually 602 questions. Due to the wording of the questions, it took closer to 2 hours to complete the test. When I mentioned this to the HR manager, she said she knew it was not possible to complete the test in 45 min. It seemed that she deliberately understated the time to me. I was promised that the results of the test would be shared with me in a debrief session. This was never done. Further interviews with key business stakeholders were arranged. When I asked one of the stakeholders how our 2 business units would work together, she acted offended. I'm not sure why. This question is a regular question for stakeholder interviews. I have never had a reaction like that. I was asked to prepare a "case study" which consisted of 4 questions regarding the company's strategy. I was given only a few days to prepare it. Bearing in mind that I am an outsider to the company and the industry without access to their specialized data, I asked for 1 clarification about an industry term used in their question. The HR manager told me to just "Google" for free information and didn't provide any clarification. The recruiter then assured me that the content wasn't important and to just show my presentation skills. I worked on the case study around the clock and when I presented it, I was disheartened when they did not even let me finish 14 slides as they had to go for another meeting. They also did not have the courtesy to say thank you for doing their case study. The feedback I received from the recruiter was that though I was the 'last candidate standing' from the other 200+ candidates they had screened for the role, my presentation was not good enough for them as 'there was not enough data'. For me, it was very difficult for me to fulfill their expectations given their unwillingness to communicate and clarify the work they asked me to do. This was the most dehumanising interview process I have ever experienced in 20 years. I provided feedback to the recruiter and the hiring manager about this experience but they were not open to feedback.

- 2 weeks to hear back in between each round - interviews focused on behavioral questions - fit with the company seems very important - company focused on growth and seeking dynamic people who can do the work - great lifestyle (except for the commute) - important to understand that the company has many international locations so growing inside the company may require relocating for 1-2 years in a different location. Most of the growth is expected in Asia
