First I came in for an informal talk, to see if I might be a good fit and to understand the current problems the company is trying to solve and where I can help. Thinking that the timing, my personal career goals and skills might be a good match, we decided to schedule a full interview. I came on site and met with several folks from various roles and levels within the company. I was asked thoroughly about my background on various different types of projects. Very good and detailed discussion. We went through some whiteboard problem solving exercises of varying degrees of complexity, none too advanced to solve in less than a few minutes. Finally, we discussed the product, strategy, and exciting initiatives coming down the pipe at the company and how I might be involved. The HR representative conducted an interview wrap up where we talked about my aspirations and personal desire for mentorship and leadership opportunities in addition to the day to day work to ensure that the overall balance would work for both of us. Eventually, they called with an offer and I accepted.
