I met with two managers and the previous office coordinator in a conference room. The interview went for about an hour. The dress code was pretty casual - jeans and button-downs/polos for the managers, and the previous coordinator was the sharpest dressed. They kept things pretty laid-back, cracking jokes to see if I'd get offended, which I didn't.

I had a few chats with the HR recruiter on the phone, they were really nice. Then I went to Quincy, IL for an in-person interview. There, I met with 6 people who asked me about myself and my qualifications, which seemed pretty standard. It was a bit odd though, my potential direct boss was out of town so I didn't get to interview with them.

I was first called for an interview after Thanksgiving, and then came back before Christmas for a second interview and a facility tour. The second interview was a conference call with upper management and some mid-level managers. I got the offer and accepted it, giving my three weeks' notice before starting in mid-January.
