Pros

The administrative staff setting up the interview was very friendly. The first phone interviewer (internal HR Recruiter) was very transparent and honest about what the organization was doing (as far as he could be)

Cons

Despite the reviews that I have read about management, I felt that there was a major disconnect with what the job description said and what the hiring manager was actually looking for. Even though the management's time is valuable I would expect them to be more upfront if they could not accommodate a full interview for an management position. I was informed during the interview would only be 45 min instead of an hour. Also, the in person interview was way to informal (no flow) and the interviewer had no real purpose other than being casual about travel related to the job. It made me feel like they did not value the process.

Yes, there can at times be slight disconnects between the job posting/job description which are general across the company and the specifics of a certain role in a certain office. We try hard to give accurate descriptions in the interview so candidates understand expectations. Thanks for your comments.
