Interview

Team was pretty small so they went through what I perceived to be an a- typical process. Initial phone interview was with HR, followed by an interview with the hiring manager, then a call with a director, and then a invitation to fly out for an interview. This consisted of three rounds of one on one interviews with the hiring manager, another director and a VP. All questions behavioral up to that point. This was concluded with a case study that tested technical skills.

Interview Questions

A lot of the questions were aimed to gauge personality and fit within the team, pretty laid back overall. There were more specific behavioral questions as well especially in the in person interviews. Just be prepared to be specific with answers as they did follow up quite a bit. The case study aimed to test basic business acumen, and basic understanding of corporate finance. They did ask for specific dollar number answers which they reviewed and scored with me in person and let me know i got them all right.

Background Check

Interview

First involved a phone interview (which actually began as a 1:1 interview but about halfway through the call a second person joined in) to get some basic fit questions, experience level (with excel etc.). "Second round" interview or at least the 'real' in-person interview interestingly followed a similar structure; began with 2 people interviewing and a about halfway a 3rd person joined the room to ask some more questions.

Interview Questions

Nothing too challenging, but a lot of questions and subsequent follow-up questions about seemingly simple topics (i.e. "what are your strengths"...."why do you think that is a strength of yours.") At one point, there was an awkward technical question thrown in the middle of a bunch of behavioral/fit questions which caught me off guard but still wasn't rocket science (do you think revenue, cost reduction, inventory management, or profit should be the priority for the company at this point in time?)
