1. Phone screen with internal recruiting specialist to verify interest, travel req's, career path, salary expectations, etc.
2. Phone screen with hiring manager. V. professional conversation. Frank, detailed, knowledgeable and precise. Good responsiveness to my questions in return.
3. In person, 1-1 interviews with key stake holders. 5 interviews in total. Extremely professional and considerate. HR organization of interviews was top-notch. Due to nature of interview, questions & discussion ranged from deep technical, systems implementation/config/integration through full sweep of product marketing strategy, sales approaches & methodology, deep specifics on supply chain best practices, through competitive landscape and financial considerations. Very thorough. V. impressive. Everyone really knew their stuff!
Mutually agreed that the role required more hands-on experience with software programming & implementation, recent HP-UX/Sun/AIX infrastructure, and direct engineering track career progression rather than evolving from business-technology mix.
