Interviewed May 2009 in Owings Mills, MD (took 4 weeks)
Initial phone screening interview by HR, followed by a 1-hour interview with hiring manager and HR rep. They both worked off of the same sheet of paper asking set questions; no spontaneity or comfortable flow. After 'other candidates were interviewed,' received a call to come in a do a presentation. This consisted of just under an hour to review some materials and develop a briefing ... about 8 people of the 'team' attended and asked questions. After this, 1:1 interview with hiring managers manager. About a week or so later, an interview with the group's VP. A few days later, an offer was extended.

Interviewed Mar 2009 (took 5 days)
I forget which recuiter I dealt with but it was not one of the big ones in MD. The ad I answered was for a database administrator, but when I came in to interview, I heard conflicting things of exactly what the job I was interviewing for was. I thought I was very clear in my resume and cover letter and verbal explanations of what I was looking for and my skills...the office building in Owings Mills was beautiful but the area I was in seemed like a real pressure cooker. Everyone was running around - apparently they were in some mass hiring rush. I had to wait around while other interviews were going in. One of the most memorable interviews there was with an older guy who seemed to like what I was saying but kept saying "Go ahead...keep selling yourself" when I stopped talking. Overall I think there was 4 interviews that day - a 1:1 first, then I met with 2 guys, and then that older man, and then an HR rep. Funny thing is that everyone painted a different picture of the job and it really was not for what the recruiter advertised for.

Reason for Declining
I started having second thoughts about leaving my current employer so that was a big reason. The other was that salary would stay the same as I was making with my current employer so there was no financial incentive to move. The was the fact that I really had no clue what the job would actually entail despite all the questions I asked and conflicting answers. They seemed like they really wanted me to work there, but I really had doubts if they knew what they wanted and if I could figure out the mess they described.
