Alcon

I was interviewing with a Alcon for program management position. I was told multiple times they need a technical person to drive the project and they indicated there are a lot of issues now in orchestrating the project because of the lack of technical expertise in project management. All 9 rounds of interviews went very well, and everyone are directors and above. Then the recruiter told me the hiring VP needed to talk one more time. She scheduled it in two weeks (quite a gap!). So, the 10th round after more than 1 month into interview with the VP. He said straight this would not be an interview but a conversation. He told me everybody especially the technical people think I am the one. But, "some said your personality seemed to me a bit soft. This position needs to push hard the teams in multiple countries." I was trying to convinced him I can push hard, not a problem, and I have been doing so. He said he felt better and will make decision and call me. Then silence. No more contacts. Hey, with the medical device area, you are looking for a mean project manager to push? Not technical authority, not process, not team building?Give me a break. Also, you expect candidates to appear harsh in the interviews? Thinking about this after: he told me at the beginning he had two candidates to pick, and told me so at the end. So I guess I was ghosted even though I have the perfect experience for the position. In the meantime the position was reposted on LinkedIn. Your thoughts?
