I was interviewed for a senior analyst position, met with HR and the controller which lasted one hour. Interview went great and that same afternoon, I got a call for a second interview to be held the next day with the director.
In the first few minutes the director asked about my previous jobs which I discussed for 2-3 minutes, then he asked questions related to the position I applied for and this Q&A lasted for about 15 minutes. The next one hour and 45 minutes were more deep dive questions of 5 projects he started to implement in Finance and still not yet accomplished, and I gave my feedback on how to go about those projects from what I have worked on, and what I have seen done in other companies that I worked for.
I felt the second interview with the director was not for the position I applied for. Anyone else experienced this and did you get the job or if you are a hiring manager, have you ever approach interviews like this with candidates?
