This was such a strange interview because it basically started with the recruiter asking me what I thought this job entailed. I was a little thrown off but basically spoke through the job description. It was a bit of a guessing game, and I'm sure I sounded less than 100% confident. As much as I love the company, I was less than impressed with their process.

HR emailed to set up a time for a phone interview and it took a week after that before I heard if they were interested in a one on one interview. I was contacted by a senior admin to set up the interview which turned out to be a panel interview. The interview went well until a question was asked about a skill that was not listed in the job description at all which turned out to be the deciding factor on the position. Two weeks went by and I did not hear anything about the position until I receive an Outlook appointment titled "AA Feedback". At that point it was obvious I was not going to be offered the position. The usual protocol when notifiying an applicant that they did not qualify for the position is a phone call at which time the applicant has the opportunity to ask for feedback. Feedback is never given without an applicant's request. The phone appointment did not take place until later that afternoon which made it difficult to concentrate on the current workload. When the manager called, he was very harsh and made me thankful that they didn't offer me the position.
