My hiring process was different than most work places. I met the COO at a coffee shop. He described the position to me and asked if I thought I could handle the role. When I agreed, we discussed compensation and a start time frame. I had to beg for an offer in writing before I could turn in my notice with my previous employer. I met no other employees prior to my start date. In retrospect, I wish I would have had an interview with the entire executive team before making my decision to come on board.
