Virtual interview with the hiring manager, followed by 4 back to back in person interviews with various stakeholders.
There didn't seem to be a real structure to the interviews. It felt like the same few skills were being assessed and I felt like a broken record having a lot of the same conversation across multiple interviews.
For this type of role, I would have expected a case study exercise or similar to show application of skills and critical thinking but this didn't feature.
Meeting with the C-suite stakeholder, from the time they gave it focus, they were more interested in knowing the business model for the companies I'd worked at previously than in assessing how I could partner with and support them.
The recruiter assured me whatever the outcome I would hear from them and receive feedback. 3 weeks on and I've heard nothing, poor experience.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They wanted to understand scale and scope of global transformational org change.
I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Checkout.com (Atlanta, GA) in Sep 2025
Interview
Process was simple. However communication was lacking, I was told I would be moving on to next steps but then was not contacted. I sent multiple follow up emails with no response
My first-stage interview with HR was satisfactory, but the second-stage “technical” interview was highly disappointing. The interviewer explicitly stated, “we won’t go into the technical details because I can see all your experience in front of me.” This was unprofessional and discouraging, particularly after the extensive preparation I had undertaken. The interviewer appeared disengaged and simply read questions from a screen with little effort to create a meaningful dialogue.
