Phone interview basic knowledge questions then invited to panel interview. Followed by panel interview consisting of four people where a great deal of customer service scenario were brought up. Then a final panel interview with hiring manager and director. It was a formality but questions were still asked.

I am typically part of a panel and am well aware of the interview process. I interviewed for a system analyst position. Had a positive phone interview with hiring manager. Was asked to go in an hour interview with a panel. Most of the questions were project oriented "how would you prioritize your work load and what would you do if you were tasked with project from your manager but had other responsibilities." I answered everything and I must say based on me having my own experience being on a panel I had good answers. However there was one senior analyst who kept going off topic( list of questions are provided to panel). Kept asking questions she came up with herself- more project oriented questions but expected a technical answer. Sure enough I get an email from the hiring manager saying they liked me interview but had more questions about my technical ability. Don't think panel members should come up with their own questions on the spot. Basically a waste of my time with the bias questions and fake personalities. Guess if your there for 8 years with the same title and no progression. Manager indicated not many bonuses but good environment. With the panel members- I doubt that.
