As other reviewers have stated, the leadership principles were answered in STAR format.

The process included one online assessment, followed by five final interviews.

Four of these interviews covered basic technical assessments on debugging and leadership principles, while one was a straightforward technical round with an easy question.

I answered everything that was requested, but the interviewers appeared bored from the outset. I attempted to make the discussion interesting and engaging, but it felt as though they were unwilling to be there.

Although I have demonstrated all the LPs throughout my career, my takeaway from the interview was that they expect fabricated stories with metrics. They follow a grading rubric, and your stories need to be distinct for each question and each interview. Even the "tell me about yourself" question, which was asked five times, required different stories each time. This is illogical.

I even asked clarifying questions as I answered to ensure I was providing what they sought.

The most amusing part was the technical round. I explained my code line by line and iteration by iteration, yet the interviewer still did not understand my solution. They then stated, "oh, we are out of time," and I was barely given 10 minutes for the entire segment, which I completed in 4 minutes.

I am certain that if I asked the same questions to four of the interviewers, they would not be able to provide satisfactory answers using the LPs. Overall, this was the most disengaging interview I have experienced with any panel, and I have participated in and conducted many interviews.

Suggestion for interviewers: Focus more on the person and their experience as a whole, rather than ticking checkboxes on a grading rubric based on LPs, which is not a one-size-fits-all approach.

Tell me about yourself. Tell me about yourself. Tell me about yourself. Tell me about yourself. Tell me about yourself.

Tell me when you disagreed with your manager. Tell me when you disagreed with your manager. Tell me when you disagreed with your manager.

Tell me about a time you did something that wasn't required in your role but helped others. Tell me about a time you did something that wasn't required in your role but helped others.

Basic debugging (easy questions on the verbal tech side). Create a test plan on an app, etc.
