The process was comprehensive. I was contacted by a recruiter through LinkedIn and went through an interview process that included 2 phone interviews with the recruiter, a HireVue video conference, a face to face interview with the hiring manager and finally a panel interview at the company's corporate headquarters in Southfield, MI. All of the people I spoke with throughout the process conducted themselves courteously and professionally and I did the same. I found throughout the process, each party was more than willing to be forthcoming with coaching/feedback and I got the sense that they firmly wanted me to succeed. Which is why I can say that I was genuinely confounded when at the end of the entire process and was declined a position, that they were less than forthcoming with possibly helpful feedback. I was in no way going to tell them that they were mistaken in their decision, but was simply hoping to be given something that perhaps I could work on to make me a better person/candidate in the future. What I was told was that they can't supply anything more than "it was simply not the right fit for the position." Had I been given something other than that answer, I would feel much better about the end result, but being given that simple line was dissatisfying.

Short, easy. It was apparent that the person who interviewed me already had someone else in mind. Kind of cold feeling and it felt like they had to give the interview.
