Last week on 8/1/25, the recruiter informed me via email that my second interview today (scheduled at 8/5/25 at 4pm CST) would be a phone interview (not a virtual interview) with the hiring manager. Today (8/5/25) I received a Microsoft Teams interview invitation from the recruiter at 3:46pm CST (less than 15 minutes before the start time of the interview). Since I was previously informed that this would be a phone interview, I joined the Microsoft Teams meeting via phone (as previously instructed). There appeared to have been some poor communication because the hiring manager appeared to expect a virtual interview versus a phone interview.

STAR format and a short speaking presentation on the topic of your choice, 3 interviews total- phone screen with HR, then a two manager virtual, then a final with your hiring manager, very relaxed and informal, important to research the company

First was a screening phone interview then and in person interview with hiring manager. The process moved quickly. The in person interview was at a local hotel conference room and the hiring manager flew in for the interview.
