What is your experience with overseas project management?

Interview
While I appreciated the thorough nature of the interview process, it is exhaustive, repetitive, and borderline invasive. The company moves you through a pipeline of recorded video interviews, several phone interviews, in-person interviews, zoom interviews. It seems that the company eliminates candidates as they assessed if the candidate aligns with their values and mission. However, the interviews feel invasive because top executives asked questions about personal beliefs and practices outside of the workplace. This also raises questions about the company culture and top-down approach to leadership. They were more concerned about my theological convictions and less concerned about my professional skills.
