Multiple rounds of interviews. I interviewed with people, big and small. Some people were nice. Others were less nice. But, they were all people. Deep down, it's the one thing binding all of us together.

What a horrible experience!!! First the application process is outdated and broken - leaving you wondering if you actually applied. Then you don’t hear anything. Months pass. The hiring manager finds you on LinkedIn, not knowing you applied months ago for the job. You both have a great connection and conversation, then proceed to meet the rest of the hiring team. More great connections established and more words of “you would be great on this team” and “we need exactly what you offer” and much more words of positive confirmation. Then they tell you, you have to do an assessment and it’s not pass or fail and more about critical thinking and mathematics, so don’t worry but it is required for all Director+ roles by the board. They heavily emphasized the assessments are nothing and not to worry. Then after 8 hours in one week of interviews and assessments, ghosted for 2 weeks and then the standard rejection letter. When asked for feedback, ghosted again. No regards to peoples time or care about the candidate experience. What a waste of time!

The interview process is lengthy and comprehensive. Be prepared to meet with a lot of smart people. It may take a long time, but it's worth it in the end.
