Erratic, as the department is in chaos. National brand launch keeps being pushed out. The hiring manager gave me cues that he/she did not like the VP in charge, and several previous candidates had been torpedoed by peers and/or the VP. I managed to get through the maze, only to have the VP cancel interviews with me twice, then kept me waiting for 15 minutes when I arrived 10 minutes prior to scheduled interview. The VP was not focused, asked a few questions, but let me know her experience was far greater than mine. In the meantime, her direct reports had clued me in that she was vindictive, petty and a "master manueverer." Although the directors approved my hire, the VP "had a concern" and that was the end of the process.
