Interview process

Some of the interviews are very formulaic. When they ask about management experience they first start by asking what is the largest org you've managed, and then all following questions are about that org. The largest org I had managed was at a bank which doesn't have the greatest parallels to draw from.

If I had better understood the format I would have answered with the bank, but explicitly stated that it's not a good analogy lets talk about this slightly smaller org because it's closer to you guys. Instead, this conversation happened at the end.
