Negative ExperienceGot Offer
Process
Unnecessarily extended process: 7 rounds of interviews dragged out for 2 months. Lack of decisiveness. Lack of understanding of the concept of diminishing returns. Poor empathy for candidate experience. Senior leadership was very lightweight. I declined the offer, turned off after such an extended process.
Questions
Standard leadership questions and system design.
