The interview process consisted of 7 steps - Hiring Manager 45 min - Presentation of your projects to the panel 45 min - 1-1s with all the teams members and one external stakeholder - 5 interviews, 45 min each, scheduled the same day. Generally, I would agree that I wasn't the 100% match for the role, however, having 5 interviews circling around the same topic was not really meaningful. Some stakeholders contradicted to each other, not all of them were prepared and they even admitted that (!). These 5 interviews were supposed to focus on various skills, e.g. Process, Stakeholder Management, Prioritization but only 2 interviewers really sticked to the topic. The rest did a random Q&A. In the final feedback they said that my projects were too short for the program management and this was the most frustrating thing, as I mentioned during the first conversation right away that I come from the business ops side, as well as the length of my project. Based on this, you could have already avoided wasting your candidate's time on 6 interviews. If this is crucial for the role, it is important to make sure that candidates you select for the next steps meet all the criteria. So the interview process won't be a disappointment for both sides.
