I went through 2 phone interviews & then met an interviewee in person. The day after the in-person meeting a Supervisor called to tell me the interview process would now begin & would be 3 interviews total being over the phone. I was very confused on what the 2 initial phone calls and in person meeting were. I was also sent a skills assessment with reading, math, pattern and word association sections. I then spoke with 3 people (Supervisor, Manager and Director) over the phone about 3-5 days apart. After the last call I was contacted to schedule an onsite visit. I drove 40 minutes each way to visit the site to be given a 10-minute tour, no one looked at my resume and we chatted about personal things. In all of these meetings, salary information was not shared with me. About 2 days after the onsite visit I reached out to the recruiter who informed me that a Manger would contact me in a day or 2. 3 days go by and no one has contacted me, so I email the recruiter, supervisor and director (emails went out 2-3 days apart) to get some feedback. All emails went un-returned and no one has ever reached back out. I was incredibly irritated that I was ghosted after 7 interviews (all of which I had to take time off work to attend) by such high level employees.

You must take a test in order to gain an interview, essentially testing your perception of authority and which situations you prefer to find yourself in. The interviewer was more prepared to ask the "interviewee" questions, rather than have any challenged towards him about his own organization. Company culture is important to me, because I like to have a warm and fuzzy about what I'm stepping into, rather than walk into a façade of what the company is hoping to project. I gathered that the organization was a merger of two different departments, with the results-oriented, extreme type-A personalities taking the lead. The authoritarian leadership approach is definitely the one held by the supervisor for this position, stifling any sort of desire for motivation or team-based efforts.
