New York Public Library interview questions

The interview process was simple , it asked basic questions related to the job posting. Not a long interview and fairly simple and straightforward. Not too many questions were asked

Interview Process: The process consisted of three standard rounds: a behavioral/experience interview with the hiring manager, a "case" interview with peers, and an in-person/on-site interview. I progressed to the second round. Feedback on the "Case" Interview: My main issue was that the second-round interview wasn't a true case study. Instead of presenting a hypothetical business problem to work through, it was essentially an extended behavioral question: "Describe a product you worked on that you're proud of and..." with multiple follow-up criteria. While this format has value, it evaluates whether you've had specific experiences rather than assessing how you can think strategically through complex problems. Since I didn't have a past project that perfectly aligned with all their criteria, I had to choose the closest example, which felt limiting. I would have preferred a hypothetical scenario where I could demonstrate my problem-solving approach, strategic thinking, and methodology in real-time. This would provide a fairer assessment of my capabilities rather than relying on whether my previous roles happened to include situations matching their specific requirements.
