I loved everyone I met in the interview process. The people were genuine and seemed like people I would like to work with. That said, the interview process itself was not the best experience.
Someone reached out to me on LinkedIn to invite me to interview. I never had a conversation with the recruiter, there was no central point of contact, and I didn't receive a copy of the job description until two interviews in.
I had a 30 min interview with a potential peer who was a pre-Sales and a 30 min interview with a post-sales consultant. From there I was moved on to create a work sample.
The work sample, in my opinion, was poorly done and a little unrealistic. I spent about 15 hours putting it together (no guidance on how long to take on it) which would be a pretty exclusive hiring practice for parents or caretakers. There were a few errors in the work sample data, and a section where the sample linked to another document that contained different information than it was supposed to. Not having a central person to ask questions to made it so that what I put together was based on a lot of assumptions.
I was invited to present my work sample to a panel of three consultants. Some of the questions I was asked during the presentation were challenging, and weren't actually part of the information I was provided - I believe they were looking for how I handled unexpected questions but it seemed more like a test of my thought leadership.
I did my last interview on a Thursday, and heard back on a Wednesday that they weren't moving forward. One thing I really appreciated is they did provide me with clear feedback at my request.
