(engineering managers, design team members, product managers, etc) We talked mostly about the items listed on my resume with some behavior questions added, there were not much technical questions. It was a somewhat relaxed interview session.

Interview
Spoke to VP of my engineering department, as well as a few engineering managers. All inquired about my previous design work. People asked about my process or objectives with design and my background to understand if I was a competent designer.
Various people explained how their divisions work and how my team worked (or how it might be dysfunctional).
There wasn't a whole lot of depth to the questions. Things were rather shallow.
