Recruiter reached out - basic resume information. 30 mins phone interview with the hiring manager - friendly person, basic questions on your resume. Next step was on-site. 6 interviews. 1 - Sr Director: Culture fit round. A lot of questions on leadership and achievements. 2 - Engineering Lead: questions on Agile methodology 3 - Peer: case study and brainstorming session 4 - architecture - lunch and interview: focus on my technical skills whether I understand them or not. High level. 5 - VP: Culture fit - leadership questions 6 - Hiring Manager - challenging situation and why this team?

I had 6 interviews including 4 case studies: 1. Met with HR 2. Met with Hiring Manager (45 mins), he shared his screen and asked me case study questions. 3. case study with Hiring Manager and 2 other Managers (45 mins). It was standard case study questions but it was very uncomfortable and it felt like they were disengaged and uninterested from the beginning. 4. interview with a Tech Manager (45 mins). 5. 1 hour interview with the Manager leading the Product team, I wasn't warned that she would put me on the spot and again ask more case study questions. She shared her screen and asked questions about a case. I really didn't expect this. 6. Another 1 hour interview with the newly hired Senior Director. She did more case studies and put me on the spot to do mathematical calculations. I got every question correct. After all these interviews, HR sent me a 1-line email saying that they weren't going to move forward with me. Throughout the last couple interviews they really led me to believe I'd be getting the offer. I spent almost 5 hours interviewing with them, just to get a 1-line rejection. Overall the tone was just very uncomfortable. The case study questions didn't feel fair since we only have limited exposure into the world of ebay and how they operate.
