Recruiter outreach, preliminary interview via phone with hiring manager, then a pleasantly rambling, but detail-free discussion with an executive officer. The hiring manager was great; solid, directed, and agenda-driven. However, the subsequent executive, in her interview, asked no specific questions about the practice(s) of product management, and evidenced no interest whatsoever when presented with a quick overview of considerations which, while directly relevant to her company’s product, were currently disregarded (and will likely continue to be). The recruiter had prepped me to be ready to relate (volunteer-related) mission-related experience, but none was requested. Nor were any technical questions raised. Nor was there any opportunity to showcase the spec., wire-frame, and product-related materials I had brought. The disappointment here isn’t personal – the organization pays poorly – it’s that the mission is worthy and important, and a technical product for social good is here driven by an organization that clearly fails not only to understand the big-picture perspective on technology, but apparently – fundamentally – how it’s mission should be properly regarded and productized. They’ll surely amble along adequately. However, lack of insight and vision dramatically limits the capabilities of the organization, and penalizes a worthy mission demanding to be better-served.
