None of the questions were particularly difficult, but the interview was very detailed and there was a lot of discussion of the projects I would be working on. The manager was very engaging and interesting to talk with.

Very few - only statements of where they intend to take the company and their current problems with rapid expansion and the new investors. They had also outlined some of the daily/weekly/monthly deliverables and how I might contribute. I was told that the entire other office in PA would be fired since the company was moving to St. Louis without them - was told that the PA office didn't know yet. Little if any authentic insight was given about the company except that the owners supposed dedication to his employees was ridiculed from several of the employees from those that I had interviewed. Though I actually did have a very pleasant and positive interview the the new HR director. He had been on the job a week and I'm confident that he foresaw the huge challenges ahead. I got the feeling I was "one of many" that had came through the the revolving McKissock interview and employee door. The out-of-town "marketing" manager seriously lacked communication skills and thought very highly of her opinions. She was also openly very critical of her staff especially one employee and said that everything he had produced was "absolutely awful" (questioned the professionalism). The IT/Social Media person was evasive and lacked any knowledge about the IT marketing communications
