“The team didn't know what they wanted. Role was posted as needing technical but no one on the interview panel was technical except an engineering person and it was not a good fit.”
“The process was rigorous for the screening. They expect you to be proactive and drive all aspects of the System design. For leadership roles, that's the key and you need to partner with the Interviewer to answer the question and let them nudge you towards a particular direction whenever they're vocal as they need to gather data from you.”
