It was a very well thought-out process for the interview.
The recruiter was superb - had good knowledge about the team and opportunity.
The hiring manager did the initial screening and was very thorough in discussing various relevant experiences I had during my past jobs. Discussed various technical, people-oriented and situational experiences in great detail.
This was followed by rigorous interactions with other stakeholders that I would be interacting with - software engineers, Product Managers, peer Engineering Managers.
I liked it because it also gave me a good insight of what the job would entail.
All the interviewers were very cordial, and were focused on the particular areas of assessment related to their core jobs. Had very engaging discussions with all of them.
The recruiter was very responsive and kept in touch during all the steps of the process.
In the end was an interview with the VP, who had built the organization, had a great eye for technical and managerial details, had a well-articulated vision for the team.
I would have liked this process to be concluded sooner.
