Classical questions about project management, stakeholders management, operations management in SAP BI/Financial area. A couple of specific questions in the FI area. I found the interview ok, it was quite pleasant and I felt decent attitude from hiring manager. General comment: I believe I have all the range of skills and the experience to cover the position without issues (I covered and I am covering very similar positions since many years). I know that you can always find someone better and my performance during the interview was decent but not outstanding. Anyway I admit I would have expected to be invited for a second round, so I was a bit disappointed. As general feedback I would say my experience was ok.
