Having got through two phone screenings, I was invited to the third round, which was supposedly meant to simulate a client meeting. The brief was deliberately vague but I was told to approach it as if it were an introductory meeting with a client where my objective was simply to get the job. In principle, this is a great idea. I drafted an agenda that I was fully prepared to be questioned on and was looking forward to demonstrating my approach to client meetings. In practice, it was a pretty bizarre, disappointing and condescending experience. My agenda was effectively dismissed from the outset, which gave me zero opportunity to talk through the rationale behind it or shed any light on my experience or why I would be a good fit for the role. I think the idea was to be deliberately adversarial in order to put me under pressure and see how I would react but it felt both contrived and unrealistic. My experience does seem to align with others who have interviewed for this role and shared on this platform - a real shame given how great the company mission is!

Had to book the recruiter screen over a week out cause they had no availability and very early since they were in the UK. Basically just rapid fire metrics questions. Almost no questions on using data, actually working with clients, or relationship management. Gives boiler room vibes.
