I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Nationwide (Columbus, OH) in Sept 2022
Interview
A recruiter contacted me through LinkedIn and conducted a screening interview. The contact prepped me for the first round interview with a direct manager who then if approved, would arrange for a phone interview with the VP in charge of the division. Once this interview was successful, I was flown to the home office for a day of interviews and meeting future colleagues and staff.

I interviewed at Nationwide (Northampton, England)
Interview
I got a call interview with HR, one week later a technical interview on the phone with some simple questions, and one more week later I got an offer.
2 days later they realised there is actually a mistake and the position was for another city (3 hours away of driving) and insisted for me to accept and drive 6 hours every day for work. I declined.
It was a three‑tiered interview process, each stage led by a different level of leadership. The first round focused on foundational fit and core competencies, the second round evaluated strategic thinking and role‑specific expertise, and the final round involved senior leaders assessing long‑term alignment, decision‑making style, and cultural contribution.
