I had a phone interview with the hiring manger first, then met with two VPs (business partners) in person. The phone interview went very well--it was more of a conversation than an interview. We had a lot to talk about, and at the end I was told that I would definitely be meeting with her for the next phase of the interview process when she came into town in a few weeks. I then met with the VPs, and both in-person interviews went well. In fact, one of them told me how well I handled her tough questions and it seemed like I'd be a great fit. The following week, I got a call from the recruiter telling me they were "going to pass" and that I would not be moving forward in the selection process. I was frustrated, confused, and disappointed by this. I was misled by the manager, and it left a bad taste in my mouth about the company.
