Very warm, cordial and good environment. I had 4 interviews 1- HR screening, regular. HR questions like my current role, experience, etc. 2- hiring manager screening- again lovely interview - walk me through your CV, tell me about yourself, and at the end he said he’s really impressed and will move to next round. 3- with a supply chain director - questions around working without tools, working in ambiguity, very nice ! 4- interview with director of engineering- asked me very technical questions around generator, sourcing principles etc. again a very good interview. 5- one to one with hiring manager at Msft office - very helpful gave me feedback why they wouldn’t hire me for the director role, but see me as a talent and fit for a role one level below director and he will work with me to create a development plan so that in 18 months I’m promoted to director.
