The interviews are structured and have a decent amount of rigidity in how feedback is given, but there’s also enough room imo to clear those doubts.

I am in cloud - I look for people that 1) Have the experience to run huge projects, 2) can talk tech / business to CIOs, Architects, and Engineers, 3) super nice people that are super humble. Most people get dinged for #1 and #2 during my interviews
