One of the most intense, long, drawn-out interview processes I’ve ever done. There were several steps over the course of two months, and then I never heard back and had to call in to get an update after no response to emails. She responded to the application very quickly. First was a 30 min interview, then she assigned 3 assignments to complete, then a second 2.5 hour interview (yes - two and a half hours), then she assigned 2 assessments on indeed, then she reached out to all 3 of my references and spoke to them on the phone 30-45 min each (they all said they felt like they were being interviewed), then there was a third 1.5 hour interview. She said the next step was a potential fourth in-person interview or a decision within a week, she hadn’t decided yet. After all of that, she said she would have an answer by a specific day. After not hearing from her and getting no answer to my follow up email for several days, I had to call to get the update that someone else was selected. There were several red flags during the interview process that had me worried. First was the indecisiveness and the types of questions she asked. I got MAJOR micro-management vibes. She didn’t seem to have answers to very simple questions such as “what are the goals for this position in the first 90 days?”, “what benefit package do you have in place?”, and “what training material/schedule do you have in place to ensure success going into this position?” She said she didn’t really know and was very vague in her answers. She also kept asking the same questions over and over in the interviews, and acknowledged so, as she didn’t seem to know how to organize who she was talking to about what. In hindsight, I’m grateful that I wasn’t selected, but the best thing to come out of this experience was becoming an interview expert. If you need the experience, this will definitely prepare you for any question that might come up in other interviews.
