One interview that really baffled me was one of the very last where the interviewer went on a diatribe about how my company's current business model wasn't sustainable. It really wasn't an interview but him flexing his intellectual muscle. We spent 10 minutes talking about myself and most of the time talking about whatever came into his little head. I also was disappointed in the lack of communication throughout the process. I was scheduled for a phone interview with a lower level manager after meeting with the VPs. I was told last minute about that final phone screen, which raised an eyebrow. I had my first interview in October and was told that they would have a decision following Thanksgiving. I didn't find out until the Friday before Christmas. Very classy. Obviously no one enjoys rejection but I think there's a way of creating an experience that you value the time that each candidate is taking to learn about your company. I had enough interest and respect for the company's online persona to apply. At the end of the process, I felt that there was a disconnect between who they say they are and who they actually are. I'm glad I learned it now rather than waste 3 months in Arlington Heights with a company that I was bamboozled by.

10 interviews in total over a period of 2 months, last being with the CHRO who made a lot of assumptions about my resume. Felt like I needed to defend my experience which is usually a first interview experience if that.
