Initial contact was a screening phone interview with a manager/director type, followed by a technical person, both segments lasted a total of about an hour, & proceeded as follows: the manager first presented company and departmental and position overview for about twenty minutes. I followed up with a few pertinent questions. Then it was my turn to present my background in detail, with my CV as guide, which took about twenty five minutes. The manager then followed-up with questions about certain items, said goodbye, and hung up, thereby concluding part one. Within a couple of minutes, a technical person called and quizzd me with numerous textbook type questions, as well as some that might be more relevant during a normal work day. I asked for clarification a couple of times, and overall, it went well. This segment lasted fifteen-twenty minutes. About two weeks later I was invited for an in-person interview. It was a panel, with six folks, including the manager who had phoned me. The others were managers/leaders of various units within the department. They were all very friendly and congenial so after the inital jitters, I felt at ease during the forty-five minute session. (They were dressed business casual, as were others I observed). It basically consisted of me doing a thorough walkthrough of the CV, puncutated with specific questions by panel members, pertaining to spefific exposure and experience. I followed up with a few questions and when when everybody seemed satisfied, the session ended, and I was escorted out by the manager, with a "we''ll be in touch". A couple of days later, I was offered the position but I politely declined since anotheroffer was extended. My overall impression was that the folks were very competent, dilgent and there might be quite a stressful environment, coupled with long hours. The compensation was quite decent, (given Florida standards). However, as always, it was a learning experience for me and would gladly do it again.
