Interview
1. Informal Interview -- The process began with an "informal" / informational / get-to-know-you meeting. Of course, this is not really informal, as all interactions in the beginning stages are part of the selection process. Mine was with the person who would be my future manager (manager of my team). The format was a Zoom meeting. 2. Formal Interview -- The interview itself consisted of questions based on the STARR method of interviewing. Those present were (1) a member of the team I would join, (2) the manager, and (3) a senior manager of another department within the division who answers to the senior executive of the division. The format was a Zoom meeting. 3. One-on-one with manager -- After the formal interview, the manager called me. Only the who of us spoke. He asked me how I thought it went, and we discussed the position further. He told me at that time that he would like to extend me an offer. The format was on the phone. 4. Working with the recruiter -- A recruiter called me an made an offer. I countered. The recruiter called the manager to convey my offer. The recruiter called me back and told me the counter offer. I accepted. The recruiter outlined the onboarding process. 5. Final stage with the manager - The manager called and welcomed me to the team. Suggestions - I never interviewed with the senior manager of my department. In hindsight, I would requested an interview with the division manager and/or the division manager and my manager. I suggest that everyone make this request so that you can get a feel for the culture, motivations, and environment in which you will work. The division's long-term goals and current initiatives trickle down the corporate structure, so knowing those and getting a sense of who your boss's boss (if at all possible) will be might help you make strategic decisions about accepting the position.
