I interviewed for a marketing manager position. Here is how it went. 1. Virtual - With HR person 2. Virtual - Hiring manager 3. 3-hour onsite interview with the following people: HR manager went over the perks and cool things about the company, and checked qualifications like I got the job. 2 peer employees interviewed me and asked me job-related questions and qualifications. 1 senior management (VP of the director I would report to) 1 director I would report to/hiring manager I emailed a thank you on the Wednesday after my interview, and the hiring manager said - "enjoy your interview/talk on Friday". 4. Virtual - Interview with sales leader Then I did not hear anything until I followed up. And was told they went in a different direction. Looking back - here are my thoughts: The interview process was in a way nice because I got to meet so many people and understand so much of the job and company. However, what a time commitment for a manager role I was way overqualified for. I also feel like the hiring manager knew she was not going to move forward with me, and should have cancelled the last 1 hour virtual interview out of respect. After I was told I did not get the job (by following up after not hearing anything). I also got an email from the HR manager letting me know. And then another email from their automated applicant service telling me I did not get the role. I asked the hiring manager why I did not get the role, and there was no response. I feel that with this time commitment and the amount of time I spoke to the hiring manager, I at least deserved to know why.
