Started the process In July 2017 and it ended in October 2017. Initially interviewed with a recruiter, then the onsite manager and a consultant, lastly two panel interviews. This was a new position for the team. The final panel interview was very suspect as it was obvious the organization was going in a different direction with regard to their training initiatives (from in person hands on training which would be the object since their customer service team is responsible for equipment and supplies, to more of an e-learning or e-training environment). As a seasoned training developer and coach, you ALWAYS start your new position with a hands on training approach, then transition to an e-learning environment.

Original contact made in March - no reply. Personal employee recommendation to HR and hiring manager took 6 weeks to get a response. Told interview was 3 phase process, HR by phone, hiring manager my phone, in person interview. HR side was flawless and pleasant, went directly from HR phone to in person with hiring manager in 3 days. But was told would be interviewing with Sr. Director, who position would report to and instead interview was a team interview (despite HR invitation/confirmation of 1 on 1) and surprise, week before an internal candidate was promoted to newly created manager position and candidate would now report to an unseasoned manger and not a senior director. Not good!
