I was referred by a friend directly to the hiring manager. He called me, we had a brief conversation, and later that week a recruiter called me to set up an interview day. I met with HR recruiter first, she thought I was there for a different job that was open, which led to some confusion, but then she just asked me some simple questions about my experience and sent me on to meet the team. I met with all 6 people, for about 30 minutes each, and it was largely conversational. They had good reference to my abilities, so they were clearly just making sure I was a good fit for the team. I got a call the day after from the HR recruiter and she said everything went well and they would be extending me an offer, everything just needed to be approved. 2 weeks passed and I followed up and she said HR was finalizing the paperwork. Another week passed I called her back, and she said they were just finishing up internal interviews and would make a decision soon. ?!?! Directly in contrast to what she had told me previously. It was a roller coaster! Ultimately the offer came through and it was what I wanted.
