I was already a contractor--they love "trying you on for size" when I applied for a FTE position. I had already worked with most people I was interviewing with so it was so of a no brainer they had the need, I had the skill set. People there aren't overly intelligent, they tolerate mediocre work. If you can have a good conversation with the hiring manager (not really about your skill set) chances are they will hire you based on who they like. Again they are a company of homegrown managers; which means most don't have any real skill or leadership training--and even if they do--they'll do what it takes to survive.

Interview process was lengthy, mainly because the hiring organization was not ready. The recruiters themselves where very pleasant to work with. The interviews were well done, interviewers were always prepared. But there was too much rescheduling involved, and the process dragged too long. Once I got on board, I realized the hiring manager had over sold the situation though. She used a bate and switch approach.
