Interview
WORST Interview experience of my life, Manipulative, non-responsive and lying HR rep!
After my final round interviews, I didn't hear back until 3 weeks later (when I was told I'd hear back within 5 business days) even after multiple follow-ups with the recruiting team. In between, a meeting was scheduled with the immigration department at Docusign which seemed strange without the final result. When the recruiting team finally responded to my follow-ups 3 weeks later, I was told by the senior HR rep that the feedback was very positive and the team was very interested in me. However, it was mentioned that as there were 2-3 viable candidates that had been identified, and the hiring manager wanted me to speak with the hiring manager for other product team as I was the only one among the 2-3 viable candidates with the background fit for that team, and then figure which role would be the better fit for me between those two teams. It was said they wanted to do that so that they could keep 2 good candidates identified instead of one. It was also said that the interview process was over, and only a chat with this new hiring manager was needed to decide which team should it be.
But a week later, after having conversation with the other hiring manager, I was abruptly told by the senior HR rep that the original role was no longer available and I'd have go through another full interview process for the new role. When confronted that I was told completely different things a week back, I was just brushed away by saying that this is the new status, and this was my only choice. Eventually the new role also fizzled out without any response from the team even after multiple followups.
So the end result was that I went through an interview process with them for 2 months with multiple rounds and two roles, and the only feedback I got was "the team loved me", "the feedback has all been very positive", without any result.
I suspect what really transpired was that as the other role had been open for 6+ months, when 2-3 viable candidates were identified for the original role, the HR rep to meet his numbers, pushed me forcibly towards the other role so that he could fill both the roles with the same candidate pool. I believe I was continuously manipulated and lied to by the HR rep through the entire process with complete lack of sensitivity and professionalism.

-Onsite Interview Loop (Hiring Manager, VP, and a panel of Sr. Manager/Team Member)
The recruiter let me know that the hiring manager appreciates well thought out questions for her, and I took the time to really think about what I wanted to get out of the interviews and a method of asking the questions in a way that allowed me to stand out and get the information I needed.
Most of the interviews started off with my quick 10 minute elevator pitch as to why I am perfect for the role as described in the job description, followed by standard questions asking about specific situations I had faced before, or how I would approach fictional (or not so fictional) situations, followed by a candid discussion around specific tool and technologies and my experiences with them. Finally the last 1/3 of the meeting was time for me to ask my questions.
