Corp recruiter in round 1, knew him through my network; hiring manager in round 1, we covered my career goals and why interested in role; 2nd round - Eng leader, peer TA Mgr, peer HR leader, hiring manager final round was with head of TA

7 interviews (including a pre screen with a recruiter) This was the most disorganized interview process. I had to meet with 6 people (45 mins each) and only one person (the final interviewer ) really knew what the role required and had a clear vision of the role. None of the other people could answer questions about the dynamic of the direct team, reporting structure and overall strategic vision. It was such a disconnected process. I didn’t get the job and I could tell the final interviewer was the one who declined me but it would have been great to have him meet earlier in the process because he was the only stakeholder who knew what he needed from this person. From a candidate experience perspective I was losing interest every step of the way but compensation sounded really good so it was worth pursuing. You would think with this many interviews someone would think to atleast add value at some point in the process or maybe throw a case study In there or something.
