Found the job application on my university site. They scheduled a Google Hangout right away. As I was waiting for the Hangout, no one was present. After a few minutes past the start time, I called their office and it turns out that the Hangout was a default setting and I was actually supposed to just speak on the phone....This is was a chaotic and disorganized mistake on their behalf. The phone interview was an hour and fifteen minutes long--questions included standard behavioral questions and explaining some of my decision making with my major and school. Next, they invited me onsite and only paid $200 for the $400 plane ticket and hotel. The onsite interview was less than ideal. I had thorough conversations with the first two analysts about my passions, the job, and my goals. Then, the recruiter I spoke to on the phone told me I'd meet with the man who runs the firm and two more analysts. I met with the head of the firm and we had decent conversations, but his eyes were very red and I saw him yawn. Then, he proceeded to walk me out without any explanation about why I was not interviewing with the other two analysts. This was disheartening and made me feel like despite the fact I flew in and put so much effort and energy into the interview, that I was not good enough for everyone's time or even an explanation. The email said to block off 2-3 hours for interviews and it lasted just about 1.5 hours. I received an email 1.5 weeks later saying I did not receive the job.

Two phone calls, two in person. The first interview went great, I loved the conversation, the second phone call seemed fairly irrelevant and unnecessary as very few questions were asked and it seemed like they were reaching out as a filler for time/follow up. The first in person was great, I liked meeting everyone and learning about the company and met one of the two hiring managers. I got called in the second time to meet with a high-level exec who when I got there was "not in the office"... when hilariously enough, I looked up the person via LinkedIn and knew what he looked like and he actually passed me in the office. Strange. Anyway, even though I had great conversations, it didn't sound like they knew what they wanted to hire for within POps. There are a myriad of groups in POps and I think they need to figure out how they want to grow and interview that way.
