Manager Engineering Interview Experience - New York, New York
Process
First round with hiring manager. Outright told me halfway through the interview that they were going to switch gears and not proceed, after giving me positive feedback on my answers.
I was then contacted for three more panel interviews, each 45 minutes, over the next week. So, I assumed the "we're switching gears" was just to see how I responded to rejection.
Went through the whole process and never got a call back. Called a couple of weeks later and was told, "The team is going to pass."
