The process felt more procedural than substantive. The initial HR screen was polite and covered broad company background, leadership structure, and tenure, but when I asked role-specific questions around ownership, team structure, and how the position would drive growth, the answers were limited and framed from a general HR perspective rather than from a clear understanding of the role itself. Some of the context shared also raised concerns, including the emphasis on very long leadership tenure and the impression that this position was being created as a top-down initiative rather than as part of an organization already aligned around modern growth marketing. Communication afterward also fell short: follow-ups went unanswered for roughly two weeks, and I only learned they were not moving forward through a recruiter instead of receiving a direct response. Overall, the experience was professional in tone but left the impression of a company that may be slow-moving, overly hierarchical, and not especially candidate-friendly.
