Interview
I received WhatsApp message from Talent Acquisition (TA) and had a WhatsApp interview on the same day, this is the 1st interview. I thought it was just 15 minutes to get a brief understanding from candidate but it took 1 hour to complete the session. I hope TA could make clear to candidate it the process take more than 30 minutes so that candidate can prepare of it without disrupt their work. Also, TA arranged a 2nd interview on the next day with IA Lead but I requested to reschedule it to had proper preparation
I got 2nd interview with IA Lead and the interview questions were not too tough but to get more in depth understanding of your past and current working experience. But I did not have a chance to go for 3rd interview (last interview).

Interview
I was contacted by the HR some time ago for this position over WhatsApp and followed with a phone call on the day. During the call she asked me SOP questions. One of the question which stood out was if I am OK if not leading a team although the JD states that it is a "IC or leadership" role. I hesitated for a while since I have been leading a team for the last 10 years now. When it was my turn to ask question, I asked her what's the team size and she struggled to answer that simple question, mumbling and bragging about multisite teams, and finally threw me a figure just get over the awkward situation. The role "reports" to an AI scientist and I am doubtful how a "scientist" could possibly manage / run a team. It was then apparent to me that even a HR in a talent aquisition position was also unclear about the setup of the organization which really suggests she doesn't know what she was doing and also agrees with many of the reviews that have been posted about this company. It's hard to believe that this 9 year old "unicorn" company manages to secure funding. Are the investors out of their mind?

Many interviewers and very slow progress. Some interviewers seem to be doing it for the sake of interviewing. Salary negotiations include LTI to replace cash where listing pathway is not made known.
