Technical Architect - Global Privacy Office - HBS. The whole process was very slow. The process started end of September,23 - with me applying, The recruiter had the first call after 2 weeks. Then it took 1.5 months for the hiring manager to take a half hour round. Then it took another 3.5 weeks to get to the product and stakeholder management round. In that round 2 people were supposed to be there - but one turned up on time. The manager taking the interview grew from software engineer to a senior product manager in less than 8 years - so you could tell that he still was a bit more into technical than actual management. 20 mins into the round the other interviewer also joined, which somehow ticked the first interviewer and also broke the flow of interview. The first interviewer then for the remaining 40 mins did not let me finish even a single line without interruptions. The interview stopped being stakeholder and product management, and all of a sudden I was being asked to give solution to one of the edge case problems they were facing in consent management field. Now as my fellow architects can testify - solution forming is a process, and cannot be demanded in a second. Plus there are multiple solutions to a problem - and in brainstorming session you come up together with a good solution aligned to architectural processes of the program/company. But, here I was being heckled into forming a solution which might occur less than 1% of times and the interviewer just wanted to validate his hypothesis and already had a solution in his head, and just straight shot my options off the table. This bad experience with pushy character and not letting the interviewee speak freely - did tell me, the managers are not mature enough in interpersonal skills, and waste time in edge cases - completely overlooking the Paretto principal or 80:20 rule - aka still the developer mindset; and not focusing on delivering value. Did teach me what not to do when I take an interview. Since then the whole recruitment department again went to their favourite activity - ghosting ; without informing about the result.
