I was brought in by the director of product management to present my background as a UX researcher and present to the team why I felt a UX presence would be useful/helpful within the company. It didn't seem so much as me sharing why *I* would be a great fit, much rather that during the panel presentation he asked that I shift the focus to why the company should start thinking UX. At the end, he told me he'd get back to me the following month, which he never did. I think I was used in the end to just put together a UX presentation without getting anything in return - and now they have the knowledge they need.
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Hygiena (Camarillo, CA) in Dec 2024

Very thorough, transparent and enjoyable. No unnecessary transactional questions like "describe 3 times you overcame a difficult obstacle"...etc. Thorough discussion about experience, skills and professional goals as well as transparent details on position expectations- there are always harder aspects of a role to overcome, and knowing those before committing is a great way to understand that prospective employees dedication to their new role and the company.
