My experience with the hiring process was notably thorough. Though on the longer side, this was mostly a reflection of my generalist background. It took some time to identify the right position, but once we established mutual fit, the rest unfolded naturally. I was approached after a few years of sporadic contact, which made the timing feel organic rather than opportunistic. Throughout the process, the communication was smooth and thoughtful. The right people were brought into the conversations to assess alignment, not just in terms of skills but also in terms of values and working style. What stood out most was the level of transparency - both in sharing what’s working well and what’s still a work in progress. That kind of honesty was a green flag for me, and now that I’m in the role, I can say that what was discussed during the interviews has held true in practice.
