three rounds (I attended 2 and dropped out as the whole experience became incredibly disconcerting) first, the screening call - a very lovely conversation, asked about my background and experience and why I was applying for the position. At the end of the call, he seemed enthusiastic and moved me through right away. Second round - two managers interviewed me - some behavioural questions then technical questions. I was invited to the third interview, but a few days before, I get a message from the recruiter informing me that the VP would like a few minutes to chat. The VP called me and asked me if I was applying for the "right" job. Asked if I felt the salary band I gave was what I felt I deserved at this time in my career. Then proceeded to inform me I had a gap in my experiences - to which I factually refuted - and that an option would be to drop the title and go for a lower salary range and work my way back up to the senior title. I currently hold a senior title role in my organization and have had years of experience. The whole conversation felt incredibly condescending, sexist and somewhat discriminatory. I also find it incredibly suspicious how he interfered with the interview process mid-way through. It felt like he was trying to evade the formal interview process and push me out. I have a sense that despite the lovely employees/recruiter, this place is likely toxic.

1. HR screening interview, discuss salary range 2. Interview with manager, VP, or senior consultant: mix of behavioural, technical, and experience questions. In my opinion this interview is to level the candidate appropriately 3. Case interview: you are given a problem space along with a set of slide templates and given 4 hours to create a presentation solution. The problem space is extremely vague (ex: design a digital solution for health care)
