Interview
Quick 20 minute call with HR. Next day an hour+ with the person I would work with most closely - immediate supervisor, but would be working as a peer and backup person for their position. Call went over the allotted time by 15-20 minutes. I was told to expect another interview with a larger group, but this did not ultimately happen. The VP in charge of the position abruptly decided to change the job description to something different, which no longer fit my experience.
