I was contacted for phone interviews first and afterwards was asked to come in for an in-person interview. The HR personnel sent me to a company location different from where the hiring manager was expecting me. It took me 15-20min past my interview start time to figure it out, and finally got in touch with the hiring manager, who came to meet me at the other site. After a tour with the hiring manager, I was to meet and provide a talk to a group. However, much of the group did not attend. I later found out that the times on the schedule provided to me versus that provided to other members of the group (by HR?) was not the same. There were no additional meetings with team members and staff after this. After the interview, I sent emails to follow-up with the hiring manager, but I never heard back from the hiring manager or from HR (even to say that they selected a different candidate). I can only presume this is atypical, but this was not a good interview situation.

HR contacts the candidate first, then hiring manager will contact you, if proceed forward, then the candidate needs to present his/her previous work during a seminar, and several panel interviews.
