The interview process started positively, with professional and well-managed interactions during the initial stages.
However, the final interview represented a clear departure from this standard.
The discussion was highly one-sided and structured almost entirely as an evaluation, with limited opportunity for meaningful dialogue. While I was asked to present my experience across multiple areas (customer service, marketing, sales, and business development), there was little to no effort to engage with or build on my responses.
The format and pacing of the conversation did not allow for structured or complete answers at times, which made it difficult to properly communicate relevant experience. This created the impression that the objective was not to explore fit in depth, but rather to move through a predefined line of questioning.
Additionally, when I requested basic high-level information necessary to understand the commercial context of the role (such as product pricing), this was not provided. This lack of transparency made it challenging to assess the role in a meaningful or informed way.
At a senior level, a hiring process is expected to function as a two-way evaluation. In this case, the interaction did not reflect that standard and raised concerns around communication approach and overall candidate engagement.
Based on this experience, I chose to withdraw from the process.
It is worth noting that the earlier stages with the broader organization were handled professionally and left a positive impression.
