First stage interview with VP. However, they pulled the role before second stage. This was a Teams call where the VP asked various questions. Nothing else notable but there is a minimum word limit to this field.

I recently interviewed for an engineering leadership role at Skyscanner, and unfortunately the candidate experience was disappointing. I was rejected at the first-stage people management interview. The interviewer showed very little engagement throughout the call. No follow-up questions, no interest in the examples I provided, and often moved to the next question before I finished my answers. It felt more like reading from a script than having a genuine two-way conversation. After the interview, the recruiter did not respond to my follow-up emails, and the final rejection came through a generic automated template rather than a personal message from the recruiter I had been speaking with. No feedback was provided, despite the process being advertised as a “people-first, caring, curious culture.” Overall, the experience felt impersonal and transactional. Companies often talk about “putting people first,” but I didn't see that reflected here.
