Overall Positive Experience

Received and Declined Offer

Interviewed Jan 2012 (took 5 weeks)

Initial approach was through Linkedin, followed by submission of my CV which also provides access to my Linkedin profile. This was followed by an introductory meeting with the hiring manager plus subsequent introductions to two senior partners - one of which by phone.

Overall, the process was very positive especially as the hiring manager continued to be open for additional queries - whether content-related or questions about package and work environment. The firm wouldn't have put in this effort if it weren't sincerely interested, but I thoroughly appreciate what lengths each individual went through.

Interview Questions

We have seen quite some turnover of mid-level staff. (implicit question: how would you manage the lack of bandwidth to deliver against contract?)

Reason for Declining

Over time, the focus of the proposed position seemed to change and vary depending whom I spoke with. Similarly, The key driver for hiring appeared to be to replace someone quickly to -I can only assume- address client concerns.

Unfortunately, this did not prove an appropriate level of confidence as to what challenges I would be facing.
