Process
This was a multi-step process that took two months from initial contact through three technical interviews.
I was ultimately turned down after the executive-level interview.
The interviewers were mostly very smart and asked very good questions.
The interviews were 30 minutes long, so I got to talk to a lot of people.
Overall, it was an enjoyable experience.
Questions
Asking about my failures, interested in the lessons learned from them.
