Went through a total of 5 interviews. 2 individual phones screens and 3 video calls through Skype (I was at the time in a different city waiting to move to Atlanta). The first one was with my potential boss, the second was a peer/cultural evaluation to see if the potential co-workers thought I would be a good fit, and the third was an evaluation with my potential boss and some one else to "evaluate my critical thinking skills". The 3 latter interviews included 3 different people I hadn't spoken to previously, adding to a total of 6 employees with whom I spoke. After that long process (3 weeks in) I was told I would hear back from them soon. After a week I emailed back to see how everything was going, I was told they were still going through other candidates and would let me know soon. Another week after that I emailed again. A 3rd week goes by, nothing. One month later, I had moved to Atlanta and remained unemployed, hoping this was going to be my breakthrough. I email one last time (almost 2 months after my initial phone conversation with the HR person) and I am told that they had just given another candidate a verbal offer and that they were going to keep my resume in file for the future.
5 interviews with 6-7 employees is too much for an entry level position. I had all the technical skills required and according to some of the emails, I did very well with the peer/cultural interview. I still don't know what kept me from getting the position, but what bothers me the most is the fact that it took them a month to let me know I wouldn't get the position.
