Interview
4 Interviews over 2 months, dragged out way too long in my opinion. I had to put in hours of study for each interview. It was indicated I was too senior but still put through all the interviews anyway.

The interview process for this role was a bit confusing because the hiring manager I interviewed with was not actually the hiring manager. They were still locking in headcount for the actual leader that this role would report up to. The hiring manager didn't have special or specific experience in the back end of the quote to cash process so I felt that much of the experience I shared with them was not fully understood. The interviewer was also at a company offsite for a week and took the call from outside of the country which also added a bit of awkwardness to the experience.
