Applied online and was called a couple days later by HR to set up a phone interview. First interview is a phone interview with HR about your background and additional information about the job. Second interview was an in person with the supervisor and Vice President of the department. The in person interview started as a solo interview with the supervisor and after that interview was over the Vice President came to interview. The supervisor was pleasant to speak with and asked questions related to my experience and answered questions I had asked. When the Vice President came in to interview you would think at this point it would be one on one with the Vice President that was not the case the supervisor stayed in the room. I found it a little odd since she is basically hearing the same information I just told her minutes before. The Vice President proceeded to speak and she went on and on about how she came about to this career path. I would say 10% of interview was great and informative and the other 50% was about the Vice President and the last 40% was praising the supervisor. I got the feeling from the interview with the Vice President was "it would be impossible for you to fill her shoes." HR was terrible with following up with candidates. I contacted HR about the update in status and did not hear back. I decided to check to see if job was still posted on the website which it was not. Pretty much figured out they offered it to someone else but did not have the professionalism to let the other candidates know. I also received a generic auto generated rejection months later after being informed by HR I was not selected. HR needs to get its act together.
