Was contacted by a member of HR to set up a phone interview. The first phone interview was by a member of management, and went quite well. The interviewer seemed like someone I could easily work for. He said he would recommend me for the second interview, and described what he thought would be the interview process for me. The next phone interview was set up, but apparently the manager was not informed. I then phone interviewed with another member of management, who also seemed down to earth and professional. This interview also went well, and I was told to expect an onsite interview next.
Some time passed, and I sent an email to inquire. I received an email from HR saying "thanks but no thanks", or something to that effect. I then sent an email to one of the interviewers asking if this was the case, and was informed that there must be a mistake and it was quickly corrected. Later I was asked to travel five hours to the DC for an onsite interview. Not one dime was offered for travel and hotel expenses. I was interviewed by a panel of four people, the DC manager, two operations managers, and the HR manager. The interview seemed awkward. At one point while answering a question, I noticed the DC manager rolling his eyes to the others. This show of unprofessionalism made the interview downright uncomfortable. He kept insisting of getting me to answer questions that seemed above my pay grade., but I took a crack at it. At the end, the HR manager looked at me and said that she would be getting back to me with a decision by the first of the next week. Four months and an offer/acceptance with another company later, I still haven't heard anything from them. Saved me the trouble of declining.
