Interviewed Oct 2011 in Chicago, IL (took a day)
The interview consisted of two parts. First was an interview with the director of human resources. Second was an interview with the legal director. Both interviews were fairly typical, asking about my background in general, my expectations from a work environment, etc. The interview with the legal director was odd in that he seemed to rely on me to keep the interview going. He seemed just to want to talk about how great Visanow is.
What was most alarming, though, was that the director of human resources politely but directly told me that the immigration specialist would regularly and consistently work 60 hours a week, perform 80% paralegal work, and earn $45,000/year. The legal director, meanwhile, never came out and said this despite directly being asked. This alarmed me. Why would the legal director try to hide this?

Interviewed May 2010 in Chicago, IL (took 2 days)
It was pretty straight forward. A phone interview to get a better understanding of the company and resume review. Then an invitation for a 1 on 1 interview which consisted of an office tour and meeting potential colleagues. A second invitation for a "day in the life" to get to know other managers, co-workers and see what the job was going to be like. Similar to most interviews, a recap of your resume, why choose previous jobs or companies, experiences, goals and ambitions.

Interviewed Sep 2010 in Chicago, IL (took 3 weeks)
Multiple interviews with several senior staff members and subordinates. No formal agendas for the interviews, seemed to be more weighted to my learning about them than them learning about me... was very cocnerned about the organization's turnover after I visited LinkedIn and found alot of "former" employees' postings. At any rate, after three interview sessions -- more than 9 hours of my time -- as well as an IQ test (they indicated I was "off the charts" in intelligence), I received a "thanks but no thanks" voice mail message from the VP of HR, indicating that they elected to pursue another option. Strange -- just seems that after that level of time on both sides, they could have been more forthcoming in what caused the derail.
