The interview process took around 3 weeks: - I had initial chat with Talent Acquisition (TA) -the Hiring Manager (CISO) - Infrastructure principal; - The person who I was going to manage in the role (architect); All of this interviews were positive and I had great feedback, I then had a leadership assessment, Harrison Assessments, the assessment consists in prioritising some topics in order of their importance for you and in extracting some behavioural tendencies and strengths. After this I had an interview with the architect mentioned earlier, and a smirky guy from Canada (solution architect), I have to say the interviewers, despite the architect's title, were glorified developers: the interview was mostly focusing on software development, with nitty and gritty details, despite the role being high level and me being fully honest and saying that my development experience was in a previous life. I didn't pass the interview, but what concerned me mostly: - the lack of professionalism of the latter 2 people, the feedback provided to TA was something was not discussed in the call, vendor's evaluation, something I am doing on a daily basis and where vendors appreciate me due objectivity (and needless to say I have good relationship with most of the vendors); - tunnel visions: if you look for an AppSec specialist, write AppSec, security architecture is more than that, it is strategy, it is infra, is management, etc - if an interview have this weight why don't mention at the beginning, I am shocked that a series of positive feedbacks cannot out weight one. I provided this feedback to TA openly.
