Started with a screening interview over the phone with a recruiter followed by a phone interview with the hiring VP who explained the job and probed subject matter expertise. Additional phone interviews with other VPs covering related areas. Final gate to the group interview involved conversations with senior level VPs. The final on-site group interview (where most candidates fail, apparently) involved original research as a writing sample, a presentation of the research, and answering questions from a panel.

The recruiter contacted me on LinkedIn. I scheduled a 30-minute meeting with them. The recruitment gave me an extension description of the job position. I was told that I had excellent research experience, but lacked business acumen. The recruiter was very transparent and communicated to me that for the position I was applying for, this was a red flag. They were looking for someone with experience working with C-level executives.
