Call with internal recruiter; call with team member; call with hiring manager - VP Sales, Enterprise Business; call with Director, SEA. Flown to NJ office for a 1 hr interview and panel presentation to 4 ppl including hiring manager and 3 Directors.
I have an extensive healthcare background with a minimal technology background and was candid about this. All calls went well and then I received the invitation to give a presentation to a panel. What they requested for the presentation was way overboard (see full description below). They essentially wanted me to learn all their technology prior to being hired. I easily put in 40 hours of work into this in the 4 days they gave me to put it together. I created a 20 slide power point, purchased and learned their tablet, researched every point in their presentation topic. I had run through my presentation 3 times prior to delivering it but used note cards during it because, as mentioned, this technology was all new to me. I was asked if I always used note cards when presenting and there was a comment that it sounded like I was giving a speech. I was quizzed on details of the technology that it wasn't reasonable for me to know given my background. All four people I was presenting to made it clear they weren't impressed. I had no doubt upon exiting the room that it would be going no further.
All in all this was a very unpleasant interview experience. Either they should have done a better job vetting me prior to inviting me to present to the panel or they should have accepted my technical background was limited. Either way no potential employer should make you jump through these kind of hoops when they are not yet paying you.
On a side note, the one team member I spoke with commented that it was the worse work-life balance he had ever experienced.
