Interview
I filled out the application online and received an email to set up a phone interview. Interviewers were friendly and made the conversation easy. I then received an email to come in for an in person interview. At the office, the interview was very intense. I interviewed with people in groups of 2 every half hour. Similar questions were sometimes asked and I would forget if I had already told this group of people something and didn't want to look dumb repeating myself.

Question 1
Nothing was really too difficult. Maybe, What is your guilty pleasure? Cause I couldn't come up with something good on the spot.

Interview
I submitted the online application and received an email the next day wanting to set up a phone interview. Phone chat consisted of about 3 questions, me talking about what I do at my current job, and the interviewer talking about the position, company, salary. It took about 6 weeks to finally receive an email saying there are other candidates who are a better match. I'm disappointed that there are so many companies now that judge you based on a 10-15 minutes phone call.

Question 1
There's a breakfast meeting the next day and you have the food ordered and everything ready to go. The boss calls you the night before and says he doesn't want breakfast, now he wants a room full of bunnies. What would you do?

Interview
After submitting a resume and cover letter, I was contacted by e-mail by an HR rep who set up a phone interview a few days later. After the phone interview I was asked to come in one week later for a face-to-face interview with two employees; the person under whom I would work and a higher up who appears to oversee most of the hiring at the firm.
While I didn't receive an offer, I did receive a polite e-mail just one business day later saying the position was offered to another, but they liked what I had to offer and would consider me for future jobs.

What is the grossest thing you've ever experienced at a job?
