was a phone screen. Asked a bunch of theoritical ideal organizational questions which was really odd, considering I had not talked to literally anyone yet. I got the impression that I wasn't even talking to anyone in the hiring chain, so had no context at all to even talk about the job. Didn't learn much about the job, the company or the group which was frustrating.

Phone interview went really well, but the first department interview was useless. Met with someone who was asked to cover the position until they hired someone and would end up being a direct report. This individual had no understanding of strategic planning or creating roadmaps. Most of the questions were about how I'd manage the team. Personally I do not think that the first interview should be with one direct report. It can be later, but with more than one (as their opinion was the only one). Not impressed Zillow!
