Systems Evolution interview questions

The interview process was fine overall and mostly focused on generic questions around how my experience aligns with the role. One thing that stood out, however, was some confusion around my location, even though it was clearly stated on my resume. From the discussion, it also seemed that the company does not have a very clearly defined or structured hiring process for this role. My understanding is that candidates may go through six or seven — potentially even more — interviews with different individuals who appear to be operating at a similar level within the organization. While I understand the value of meeting multiple stakeholders, the process felt somewhat unstructured and gave the impression that the organization is trying to maximize exposure to different team members rather than following a streamlined evaluation approach with clearly differentiated interview objectives.

I had 6 interviews over a few month timeframe. Everyone I met with was very friendly and spoke positively about their experience working for SEI. I mainly went in with an open mind, as they reached out to me vs me to them. By the 3-4th interview, I bought in and could see myself working with the team. I did my case study, got positive feedback and thought I nailed it. Had done many executive presentations to leadership over years as a manager and product lead. The end of the process was abrupt and unexpected. I got the vibe in retrospect I was in a pipeline to nowhere, or their budget dried up and they were just phishing for talent. Overall a positive experience and everyone was super cool. I originally just went in for the practice. I compare this experience to dating the homecoming queen for 2 months, then she emails you saying "its not you, it's me". Process just fizzled out with no constructive feedback. That part disappointing.
