Basic “tell me a time when” for behavioral interviews. Tech screen was regarding the industry, person interviewing was very smart and wasn’t looking for architect type knowledge for a people leader role. Case study was straight forward - make sure you’re interacting with the person as its not just about getting the right answer but how you get there.

The issue with the IT dept is that the interviewers for the role were more junior and not experienced enough to interview a high level candidate. They expected end to end solutions to help them which is practically free consulting and not a job interview. (We don't do that) Communication issues were a problem and their breadth of their experience was limited in understanding the recommendations.

The interview with the hiring manager was ok except I did not get a sense at all of what she wanted out of the skill set. She focused more on why do you want to work here vs. how can my skillset best help benefit the company and role. Very short explanations by the manager as well in terms of the what the goals of the org. are given the high level positions.
