A recruiter reached out to me on LinkedIn because of my "open to work" status. We talked and she encouraged me to complete an application, but the way we had been talking made it seem as though I'd already been invited in for an interview. The communication from there was only more stunted and spread out, and overall I ended up washing my hands of the process before we were even completed.

Interview
Preinterview is full of prep emails explaining exactly what is going to happen and how to prepare. At the interview you have four, 45 minute interviews with different people. They ask you about your past roles and ask you to use the STAR method when answering "how would you" type of questions.

Interview
The interview process was structured and professional. It started with an initial phone screening, followed by two rounds of competency-based interviews. They focused on leadership, stakeholder management, and operational problem-solving. Each interviewer asked scenario-based questions to assess my ability to streamline processes, manage teams, and deliver results. The process was fair, thorough, and allowed me to highlight both technical knowledge and soft skills.
