1. Some of the questions were so irrelevant that it didn’t feel like they came from people with 8–9 years of experience. 2. The panel seemed unsure of what they were evaluating, questions focused on coordination tasks instead of talent research, insights, or analytics. 3. It looked like they were reading straight from a generic question bank or an AI-generated script, not from real understanding of the role. 4. Hardly any question reflected strategic thinking or senior-level depth, most were basic and disconnected from the advertised responsibilities. 5. The conversation lacked structure and direction; there was no logical flow or real discussion about outcomes, impact, or problem-solving.
