The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Weber Shandwick (Los Angeles, CA) in Mar 2012
Interview
I had a phone interview with two HR people, they seemed OK and no red flags at that time.
I went into the office for an interview and got stood up, so I went home expecting no call or email.
I went in for the second time for an interview, it lasted 15 minutes and the hiring manager didn't ask me any questions but rather rushed me out. I called and emailed the HR person (she requested that I follow up with her) and she, at first, said she'd call me but never did. Then she started to ignore my emails.
Overall, it was an unprofessional experience and a waste of time. I was a bit shocked.
I applied online. I interviewed at Weber Shandwick (Köln)
