Best way to describe it - it was "odd". First, the site director was 15 minutes late to pick me up for my interview, she apologized and took me to a meeting room where she began my interview immedietly without their HR person present. About 10 minutes later, the HR person arrived and apologized for being late as well. I get that people can become busy but it did give me the impression that they were a little disorganized. I'm sure if I was late for my interview, they would have thought the same thing. I will say that both women were very friendly and engaged until about half way into the interview when I could sense them seeming less interested. Of course, this is how interviews work, you are looking for the right fit just as they are and sometimes the fit isn't right. I also found the behavioural questions a bit odd. Again, they are supposed to throw you off balance a little bit to gauge how you react but I'm not sure what you learn about a a person asking them "What is the best piece of advice you've ever been given?" Then later, "You're in the zone and the day is flying by. What makes you feel like you're in the zone?" Once the interview was over, they asked me if I had any questions for them? I asked them to confirm what the HR person had told me over the phone in my pre-screen which was that it was a 4 day by 10 hour schedule that would either be Thursday-Sunday or Friday-Monday? They looked at each other in confusion and then gave a vague answer that all of it was still not decided. Not it being a 4 or 5 day week or what hours of the day or evening you would be required to work. It was again odd that they were interviewing for a position and could not even tell the applicant something basic like their schedule. Moreover it's odd to have one HR person tell you what to expect and then have the next HR person tell you that it's all changing. Seemed disorganized. I pretty much knew when I left my interview that I was not going to be the successful candidate which was confirmed the next day when I received a form rejection letter via email. I'm a firm believer that everything happens for a reason and when I received that email, I felt like I had possibly dodged a bullet.

The panel are peer level from other region, some questions are not related to the role but rather to see if you will be on their side. Obviously to look for an supporting in their quest of more power. The interviewer does not seems to do well in her role but good in office politics and have great individual contributors in her team.
