It was a panel interview and everyone was extremely welcoming and made me feel comfortable. The interview lasted about thirty minutes but felt as if time flew by because it was so nice.

I was contacted by an HR Coordinator) a few days after i applied online for an initial phone interview were we briefly reviewed my background. She never asked me about my salary requirements. The next week the VP I would be supporting called me and asked if I could come in for a face-to-face interview the following week. I met with her and a team consisting of 2 EAs and a project manager. I really liked all of them and the interview was laid back and more like a conversation. I was initially impressed. A few days later I get a call at 5:15 pm on a Friday and the coordinator told me they wanted to extend an offer and told me what the hourly pay was which was substantially less than my minimum salary requirements but since no one ever asked me what they were what did they expect?? I was thrown off because I thought the next step in the process would be to check my references and discuss my salary requirements. I asked her if the salary was negotiable and she asked me what i had in mind? I made a very reasonable counter offer and she said she would need to check with the VP and get back to me on Monday. She finally calls at 3:30 on Monday afternoon and started the conversation out by stating that this VP "does not entertain counter offers but was willing to make an exception" and offered me less than the counter offer. I explained that under normal conditions I wouldn't have to make a counter offer but seeing as we never discussed my salary expectations I had no other choice. I said I needed a day to think about it and sent her an email less than 24 hours later saying after careful consideration I would accept their offer. I have NOT heard from them since. She did not respond to my email or my voicemail. I consider myself lucky because if that is how they treat potential employees they don't deserve someone of my talents.

2 in person interviews and 1 telephonic interview. First interview was in person with a manager and a lead asking behavioral and situational questions. Second interview was telephonic with the VP and department Director asking follow up questions of first interview. The third interview was in person with another manager and the department director mostly showing around the department and explaining the operations of the department and duties.
