I had two phone interviews before my face-to-face interview. During my face-to-face interview I had asked how many positions they were looking to fill in the department I was applying for, to which they then replied, "Three for right now. Two, of whom are hired from within, and the third, a new hire who has been through multiple face-to-face interviews."
Once, the interviewer realized what they had said they quickly tried to back pedal and tell me they could see expanding this department greatly in the next few months.
I also found there to a be a great disconnect between what the first two interviewers told me about the job description and what the face-to-face interviewer told me.
This was a largely unorganized ordeal and I did not appreciate the great waste of time that it was. This sort of experience puts a sour taste in my mouth about ever working for this company. It is not difficult to be organized, especially when you are wasting other people's time.
