Process

I was interviewed by five individuals: the hiring manager, two potential peer managers, one manager from a different business unit, and a product manager. The people were professional, asked good questions, and gave me a positive image of the company.

What wasn't good wasn't the interview process; it's the offer process where things fall down. After the interview, the recruiter contacted me to get information to put an offer together. I kept following up with him to see where things were, first weekly, then monthly. It took six months to get a written offer.
