Mixed Experience - Good Interviews, Organizational Concerns
Pros:
- Interview conversations were excellent and substantive
- Interviewers were well-prepared and professional
- Questions were strategic and relevant
Cons:
- Role definition unclear: Described as "building strategic enablement infrastructure" in interviews, but rejection feedback cited being "too strategic" and "not hands-on enough"
- Hiring manager resigned during evaluation period; as of January 2025, no enablement roles posted on careers page
- Contradictory feedback made it difficult to understand actual concerns
Advice: Ask directly about organizational stability, function's executive support, and clear scope definition. Ensure role requirements are aligned internally before investing time.
Overall: Interviewers were strong, but organizational readiness for this hire was questionable.
