NESN interview questions

I applied for a different role at the company more suited to my experience. I was selected by the CMO to interview for this different role without anyone communicating this change. The meetings with NESN people were great. I felt a connection. I was getting excited. The interview with people at the parent company was shockingly disappointing. Two of the three interviewers were lovely and interested in having a conversation. A key decision-maker arrived late and was rude. She must have taken something I said in an answer as a professional insult to her when that was not the case. Her demeanor and reaction made it clear that the work culture was not a good one if she was triggered by someone at her level in an interview where she felt she had to become defensive, and then act unprofessionally. I sent a thoughtful email to the CMO with follow-up questions and shared my perspective about the role. Then I was ghosted for over a month. I reached out to a former colleague who happened to be part of this process and asked about the status. She was horrified that I was ghosted and raised the issue internally. Of course, by the end of the day, I had a call on my calendar with the CMO. It was an 8-minute call with him stumbling over his words and unable to look at the camera for more than a nanosecond. After a quick apology for their lack of communication, it was over. I knew I wasn't going to get it after the last interview. It was the principle of it all. I wanted to make them show up after they ghosted me to prove a point. And let me be clear, they weren't ready for someone like me. If you can't tell me with clarity what success looks like or which target audience are you designing the experience for, then you aren't ready. Period.

Waste of time... Quickly lined up 10 interviews including C-Suite. No clear evaluation or decision process. They did not have a clearly defined description of the Digital Sales Manager role. The selection process was very subjective. More of a club than an employer.
