Quite a number of individual interviews. Once with the Recruiter and a skills test, an in-person meeting with VP, another in-person meeting with the CTO, and a third in-person meeting with Product Manager, Sr Developer, Soft Dev Mgr, CTO, Recruiter. Things were pretty routine, however, I got the distinct impression that they didn't know exactly what they were hiring for, as the position was "new" and the email/website job title waffled between Software Development Manager and Software Development Engineering Lead. Over the course of lots of meetings, interviewing mostly concentrated on soft skills, behavioral, situational and industry. I seem to be hitting all the correct talking points, asking each interviewer what they were looking for, things seemed to be firing on all cylinders over the course of two days and several in-person interviews. I felt like I had been upfront on the position I was looking for and received confirmation along the way. They were good, productive conversations. However, in hindsight this feeling of ambiguity was reinforced after talking to the Sr Backend Dev, who felt the company needed focus on the front-end and their MEAN framework. Turns out the Sr Dev's opinion either won out or echoed what they were actually looking for... a Technical Lead who could provide leadership on the front-end development. I'm not sure where or even *if*, people/process management was a true consideration. Nice people. I liked the environment. But I feel like the company was purposefully trying expand their net for potential applicants by creating nebulous job descriptions.. and seeing what they got, without regards to the time/energy of me as an applicant. The job market in Seattle is plentiful. It's useful practice to take any interview and go through the process. But if you're serious about getting a job, perhaps it's best to make sure they are serious first. However, I'm not sure what else I could have done to cross this job-posting off earlier. But it would have been nice.
