The role and company sounded promising. I had an initial phone screen with HR and quickly moved to a 30 min zoom interview with the hiring manager. The next stage was very complex. 3.5 hour interview which consisted of an hour presentation about myself and answering a business case question. Then 3 back to back interviews with various stakeholders. I was told this was the final stage and there was only another person at this stage. When the last interview was complete, I was told they were interviewing a few others. I wouldn’t have wasted my time if I knew there was still a large pool of people at this stage of the interview process. The feedback from the interview was mixed and contradicted what they had asked in the briefing document. Overall it was a good experience for myself to work on presentation skills but a total waste of time since this was just an individual contributor role. They really need to review their interview process and how many people they put through the final stages as it’s more than 15 hours prep whilst still managing a full time job.
