The interview process was typical. Everything was going well until I didn't get the position because of a miscommunication with one of my references. The manager then left a voicemail to that reference saying, "Call him and tell him that you just cost him the job." It was 8 weeks of wasted time due to a miscommunication. Don't bother sending thank you emails after the hiring process ends because you won't hear back from the office once they cut their lines.

Got a call from the recruiter at the company. We had 3 calls, covering my practice and getting ready for the interview. Then I met with the Managing Director one-on-one, and had 2 more interviews at their office.
