Typical (at that time)....all management I spoke to during the process was terminated or left 2 weeks into this job. My process was I knew my manager, but it was still a series of phone calls, fly out to corporate and speak with several key individuals, reference checks, process an offer letter and then accept. Standard, interviews and corporate was akin to "speed dating" with senior level management (HR, product management, vp marketing, etc.). Today no idea what they do, but as soon as they terminate someone they're hiring in to fill those slots by the new regime.
