The process was quite intensive but pretty well-defined.

1. Initial call with a recruiter to discuss background, experience, current position, expectations, and more.

2. Interview with the hiring manager to check background, expertise, current role, expectations, and cover specific examples about the role. In this case, it was about leadership criteria, management scenarios, and a little bit about technology.

3. Informal lunch with the team you will be part of. A great chance to get to know them and ask questions.

4. On-site interview covering different aspects: A. System design and technical discussion. B. Leadership criteria. C. Project & Product management. D. Values and cultural fit.

Can you define leadership?

What are the qualities of a good leader?

What kind of leader are you?

What is your biggest weakness?

Can you tell me about feedback that had a big impact on your career? Who provided it? What kind of impact did it have on you?

How do you handle conflict?

What does success mean to you? How do you measure it? Can you give us some examples?

How do you measure direct reports' performance? Have you managed a low-performing individual?
