Director, Technology Operations Audit Interview Experience
Process
I applied and within a day, I received a call back from the Technical Recruiter. We had a great conversation with the individual who was screening candidates to proceed to the next round with the Hiring Manager.
The next day, I had the video interview with the Hiring Manager. It became pretty noticeable within the first two minutes that the Hiring Manager was not interested in me at all. He asked a couple of technical questions, but it became very obvious from his body language that he was just trying to finish the interview. I was only able to ask about two questions, to say the least. I found him to be arrogant and unlikeable. I hope he was just having a bad, long day.
The next day, I received the rejection letter. It confirmed my suspicions that it was not at all a great interview and that I was just a candidate to fulfill the HR quota. I honestly wished the Technical Recruiter had conducted the interview and not the actual Hiring Manager.
I asked for feedback and never received it. I wish employers would just put the legal "crap" aside and actually respond to candidates, regardless of whether they got the job or not. The current candidate experience for many employers is lacking, or it's just plain crappy.

Max does a great job of staying engaged with the team and driving as a leader, not a dictator like some executives I've seen in the past.
