It was very long and protracted. I was contacted by HR for a phone screen, then had a phone interview 10 days later with the hiring manager. They them strung me along for 2 months while they posted the job in various cities, only to come back and say a final interview with an SVP was imminent. All the while talking salary, benefits, location, etc. The final interview finally happened after 3 more weeks. Then I got a call from HR saying the SVP had other ideas in candidates. Seems the hiring manager was marginalized. All in all a frustrating and unprofessional experience. They don't seem to be aligned on strategy or know what they want. The HR person handling the process was disingenuous.

HR conducted a brief phone screen and then sent an email regarding an in-person interview. Overall HR did an excellent job with follow-up and scheduling as well as explaining the functions of the AMA. From there, the experience turned completely unprofessional. The interview was scheduled for five hours with peers and the hiring manager; bathroom breaks and water were not offered and the motion sensor lights kept going off in the room. One peer interviewee essentially walked out of the interview when I asked how the two roles, which work closely together, collaborate on strategy development. She was incredibly rude and condescending, a telling sign of management culture. I was invited for a second round interview. The SVP kept reiterating needing a candidate who could navigate red tape and bureaucracy, again another red flag about the organization's culture. Overall this department seems lost in its purpose and direction. I was never contacted by HR regarding the status of my application.
