I was asked to talk about an ideal process. Then we basically talked shop for the next 45 minutes or so. The interviewers were open in sharing information on the direction of the company and the challenges it was facing and they were eager to discuss how my experience, expertise, and ideas could fit in with their strategic planning. The interview was a lively and respectful discussion among seasoned professionals, which was a much better way to learn whether or not we were a good fit, as opposed to canned interview questions.
