Multiple rounds of interviews with a mock kick-off meeting to conclude. The basic interviews were very canned questions with interviewees who felt like they were there to check the box. The mock kick-off felt like it was all just a gotcha instead of measuring any type of true skills. And they won't say this out loud until you are done, but they will determine what position they want to offer you throughout the process so even though you may think you are interviewing for a senior position, they may just be offering you a lower position in the end. The old bait and switch after hours of effort.

Me postulé a través de una recomendación de un empleado. Acudí a una entrevista en Caylent
Entrevista
1. Recruiter screening
2. Skills assessment with Sr. PM
3. Behavioral assessment with Manager
4. Panel-style presentation consisting of 3 people and some follow-up questions
For the final interview, they will send you a prompt and request you to create a presentation that you'll present to the "board". I felt that a lot of their comments/questions and things I may have missed was due to a misalignment of expectations. For example, the prompt said to include a high-level timeline and in my feedback I was told they were expecting to see dependencies mapped out in the timeline - which isn't high-level. Another example was that they expected that I knew how Caylent worked - like how an SOW would have already been signed at this point and that would dictate if this was a fixed or variable budget, while the prompt said this was a pitch-meeting. Overall, I felt that I fulfilled the prompt, but they were expecting something else.
Additionally, the pay range is not at all competitive. I would be taking on a lot more work for less money. For the responsibilities they are expecting for this role, the pay and title should be better
