I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Vistage Worldwide (San Diego, CA) in Mar 2020
Interview
Started with an initial round of 2 or 3 1-on-1 phone interviews with their HR Manager and the Hiring Manager. After this I did 2 in person interviews which were about 1.5-2 hours wherein I interviewed for about 30 minutes with individual members of the team, both those in senior leadership positions and those who were peers.
Everyone I interviewed with was very nice and friendly. Mainly standard questions such as biggest wins, biggest challenges, what I bring to the table, etc. In this instance they wanted to hear about previous products I built and delivered and the success of those projects.
In the end, unfortunately I lost out to someone that had a little more direct experience. I would say the interviews themselves were easy, but given the amount of time taken to maneuver through the process and the number of people/personalities you spoke with, I'd rank the difficulty as slightly above average.

Question 1
What was the most successful product you developed and launched?
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Vistage Worldwide (San Diego, CA) in Feb 2020
Interview
This was a very lengthy interview process wherein interviews were conducted with every member of the existing team. This resulted in about 6-8 separate interviews, each lasting somewhere between 30 minutes and an hour. The entire process lasted about 2 months wherein I ended as one of the top two candidates but ultimately wasn't offered the position. Each of these interviews were in-person and they weren't all scheduled on the same day. Ultimately, I was required to come into their office on 3 separate occasions for interviews. Including drive time and overall back-and-forth with HR and their hiring team, I spent about 12-15 hours of time just in interviewing and follow-ups.
Given the excessive time commitment for this specific interview process (and, admittedly, not getting offered the position), the entire cycle left a bitter taste in my mouth. Everyone I met with was very friendly overall though and the company felt like a great place to work; that said, building efficiencies in their hiring/vetting process is a must.
The process took 7 weeks. I interviewed at Vistage Worldwide
Interview
Thought the interview went great. I did not get an offer and when I asked why I was told that I did not have one aspect of the job which I was never asked if I did or did not do..waste of time and energy.
