   Application

   I applied online. I interviewed at G/O Digital (United States)

   Interview

   I applied for this position and received a phone screen a couple weeks later. The interview was with an HR rep. The questions were typical 'give me an example when' / STAR responses expected. HR person seemed like a good person. I appreciated the insight into the organization - which was larger and more dynamic than I expected!
   
   My 50K foot view of our conversation was that this person was not in 'tech' but has been interviewing people in 'tech' knowing enough of what to ask despite the lack of 'real understanding.' You & I know this is expected for this role type. What I didn't expect and strongly sensed from our conversation was that this person had gone through the ringer with 'bad' candidates that were actually project managers or product people without genuine product management experience or Scrum Masters wanting to stretch out. I was put on the ropes when my response leaned too far this way or that. I knew I was on the wrong end of the stick about 10min into the call. Soft skill attempts to course correct failed...to no surprise, no call back. Take it for what it's worth; but, it's almost 2 months later and the same position is still being posted and reposted. I think if they swapped out phone screeners here with the hiring manager, they'd have this role filled in a week's time. Just a thought!
