The interview process was a gradual progression starting from interest in the role, background and experience, compensation expectation, open for relocation and the like with hiring team. The next step was a panel interview with 'the team' to be possibly working and the last set was individual behavioral interview from senior managers or directors.

I had a phone interview and several in-person interviews in Atlanta. It seemed as though they had made their mind up before I got down there and just wanted to interview one more person as a formality. I have an extensive foundations background and have worked in NYC design offices for 15 years. I met with three senior management members and they all seemed fantastic and we had engaging conversation and what I thought were great and positive interviews. I left feeling like I would revive an offer only to find out that the head of design thought that although I was qualified I was not "enthusiastic enough". Wow. We had a very comfortable and good rapport. I asked him a lot of pointed questions about his design role which he seemed to like. I was shocked to hear such a personal criticism that was not the reality of what happened. I was then told that they wanted to hire me for another position that was opening up at a later date. No thank you! Why would I join a company where one of the leaders already has issues? Serious waste of time and they have a tarnished reputation in my mind. Get over yourselves. It's shape wear not haute couture.
