The interview process was well‑structured, with clear communication and professionalism across most stages. The team was respectful, engaged, and provided meaningful insight into the role and organization. The Chief Privacy Officer asked a direct “why should we not hire you” question, which I took as a self‑awareness assessment. I also shared candid feedback with the hiring manager and recruiter, noting that the Chief Privacy Officer was eating breakfast during the final interview. It simply felt out of place for an formal interview level conversation. I felt it was important to raise this so leadership can reflect on how such moments shape the candidate experience.
