I had an initial phone screen with the recruiter, then a later phone screen with one of the interviewers. After that I was invited to their office in Golden Valley MN for an interview. The process was relatively straightforward with 1:1 interviews with 4 different senior people: My observations in no particular order: 1st interview didn't start on time (about 15 minutes late) Some confusion over interview location and switching around of location Everyone was friendly and professional One interviewer was interrupted by his phone 3 times during the interview which I didn't appreciate The feel from two of the interviews was very - corporate, not in a great way either. Like they valued airy sloganeering unrelated to the hard work of actually producing goods and services The organization is super matrix like, much more than other companies I have worked for. In part that is down to the size, but it struck me as very bureaucratic and a significant overhead.. I did research on the products and services prior to the interview. Compared to their peers, many of their products are old / undifferentiated and their technical know how is scattered and disconnected. The role was to break things out of that state. Interestingly the most senior interviewer was more interested in boasting at how his/her engineers had replicated a class leading competitor product (that took years to develop) in a matter of weeks. I just nodded, noting that replicating 2+ years of development in a few weeks was miraculous (or more likely delusional since the same miracle hadn't resulted in the launch of any product). Based on the previous point I detected what I'd charitably call a significant difference of opinion between the two of the interviewers on basic things like how burning the issues were and even who the position would report to. It didn't give me a feeling of confidence that they knew what they wanted. This was rendered a moot point since they contacted me about a week after the interview and said they didn't feel I was a good fit for the role.

Very motivating interview one of the best I have taken part in! You could feel the passion from the management and staff working at the Stafford location. The company had a small company feel even though its a billion dollar organization.
