HR interview done via teams. TA was based out of India. Nice cordial conversation. But a red flag came up - position I applied for was principal but she sprinkles out level will be decided later. Nevertheless, overall it was positive and warm. Next interview scheduled with Sr Principal. Focus was on my experience in insurance space , behavioral questions and some thought leadership areas around embedded insurance, AI in insurance etc. Nice experience overall. Next interview scheduled with Client partner/Sr Director level. This is where it went beyond JD. Position is for industry principal, business consulting and interviewer is asking about tool configurations, guidewire platform related questions. I politely pointed out that guidewire platform experience and expertise is not in the JD. No to sound rude but there was clearly a gap what was in JD and what this interviewer was hiring for were miles apart. It seemed the gentleman may not have even read or given a thought about it.

Did a screening and two interviews. First interview was fine and pretty normal. The second interview was terrible. The woman seemed unprepared and asked several random questions. The worst question was please name 5 recent payment Innovations. With the position being in banking and payments I had mentioned an interest in crypto and peer to peer transactions as being great innovations where i had experience. For some reason after saying this she asked me to name 5 more Innovations. Why did she ask for 5? I have no idea. Overall I thought that was a stupid question and begrudgingly responded. I guess her hearing my response would help identify whether or not I'd be a good contestant for family feud. Once I conducted that interview I never heard back from the company as to there decision on my candidacy. How are you this large of a company and have this poor of an experience when it comes to hiring
