Quick Interview Advice Needed

FloOz

So I have gone through 2 technical written tests, a phone interview, and an in-person interview with 2 engineers and HR. After my in-person interview the HR person said that the engineers really liked me and that she wants to invite me back for another interview with the CIO and Director of IT. What sort of questions can be expected at such an interview? Have I done the hard part by getting the engineers to like me?

I am sorry for not giving more details but I will if I get the job. The position is for a network engineer for a rather large company. I am super excited about the position. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Thanks TE!

In my experience the CIO/Director meetings are not so much interviews as it is them telling you about the organization, their vision for the organization, asking you how you feel your experience can fit in the group and if it sounds like somewhere you want to work.

My experience with this type of interview, it was just a generalization of what they expected, their future plans, and what I saw myself doing in the future. It wasn't a tech interview but more of seeing if you would fit with the team type stuff. Good luck!

I would be ready for a job offer and wage or Salaries you may requesting as well. But the typical "Here's what we do, want to join us?" wouldn't surprise me either.

He probably only wants to meet you, understand what are your expectation and introduce to the company to make sure you are what they want and they are what you want.

Thanks guys. I really hope it goes well. The company had mentioned that they recently purchased 2 Nexus 7010s and that they are moving their data center. Would be a great opportunity for me to learn a ton.

I would have to agree with the above posts. My experience is that by the time you are talking to someone that high up (especially after going through so many hoops) they simply enjoy presenting the offers themselves. I would not be surprised if this "interview" is more social than technical.

How should i respond if they make me an offer right then and their? Should I keep my cool and say could I have a day to think about it?

IMO if the money is where you want it, it wouldn't be a big deal to accept it on the spot.

But, I would recommend asking for a written offer (including benefits) before giving the nod. I don't think they would be offended or anything by taking this route.

Great thread, I was about to ask pretty much the same thing. Good luck, Flo0z, it seems you're almost hired.
