Multiple interviews: Phone screening by recruiters, typically the recruiters can provide very little insight into the hiring manager's requirements and frequently "advise" of the fact that there are multiple internal candidates under consideration, one phone interview with hiring manager, occasional face to face interviews. The recruiters are among the worst in the financial services industry - zero timely follow-up, consistently ask for salary history which is illegal. Even with an employee referral inside the company in an HR position, the follow up is poor, illogical or none at all.
