They were very purposeful about saying it would be a 45 minute process...first 15 minutes with the HR contact and the 30 minutes with the hiring manager (along with HR). I appreciated knowing what would happen, of course, but this structure did NOT yield success in this case. The hiring manager came in and proceeded to spend 25 of her 30 minutes talking about herself, her family, past work - how busy it has been, and her current stressors. Very unprofessional and in no way was she able to gather enough info about me as a candidate. I gently interrupted to ask for specifics about the position, hoping to redirect the flow...only to get an answer revealing that she really wasn't sure of the tenure of the position or the main goals. It seemed as if she told HR that she was in the weeds and needed help, but beyond that didn't really have a plan. The HR person took notes through this all, as if there was anything of worth to record. Then true to their word, after 45 minutes the "interview" was over and I was ushered out. Needless to say, I left shaking my head and wondering how the manager obtained her position and is clearly in over her head. A few days later I received a form email telling me that I did not "get the job". I was neither surprised or disappointed.
