Th interview process itself started well enough , I was approached by an internal recruiter online to gauge my interest in a position , upon turning him down he contact me again a few weeks later ( signs to me they had exhausted other new options and were circling back) .
We set an interview time , I came to the office and then the confusion began . Apparently they had a traditional interview room that was occupied , usually programming tests occur on whiteboards so missing one was a pretty big mis-step but still nothing not solvable with a notepad and paper. 20 minutes later my interview was held in a small room off to the side of the office ( beautiful view ) but clearly not where anyone was used to conducting interviews .
If I have any true qualms with how my interview was conducted it was the fact everything seemed poorly planned and kind of thrown together as if all team members were tapped on the shoulder and asked if they wanted to talk to a potential new guy in the conference room . Everyone I met was nice , we had a lot of conversations about my pst experiences, approaches to different tools and plugins i've used, previous work flows , and of course in a situation like this it's important to the team that they know you are interested in the type of work they are doing .
I can't say it was a bad interview but I was never given a proper job description , one of my interviewers was never given a proper briefing for the role they were looking to fill and when you have two people in a room and neither knows why they are truly there it makes for an awkward broad strokes questioning session at best..... I feel their was a definite lapse in the communication chain
