I was first screened by the marketing manager via the Internet. We had a good connection so she invited me to come in for a one-on-one. I went in for the interview and we spoke for over an hour. She was excited for me to come back in and speak to the CEO, and she made that happen within a week. That conversation between me, the CEO and the marketing manager also lasted over an hour. After the interview she said she was making a decision by the end of the week and she’d let me know either way. Despite an email at the end of the week saying that they still had some interviews to do and that I was still being considered, I never heard back about whether I got the job (which after a month I assumed I didn't). It made no sense: She was very excited about me, and she worked to move the interview process along quickly. Then crickets. I believe the CEO didn’t share in her enthusiasm for my candidacy and told her to keep looking. So basically "we believe in communication here and we'll definitely let you know either way" was just lip service.
