The initial description of the position in the interviews was very different than what the job and the co-worker situation actually turned out to be. After making an expensive and difficult move across the country for the job, I discovered in the first month the expectations were a moving target and unrealistic and that supervisors had no idea how to evaluate my type of work (research for businesses).

The interview process and hiring managers were great. HR required 5 references before the final interview stage, but I didn't get an offer. Requiring that many references is taxing to those who serve as references and should only be extended under the anticipation of an offer. Would not recommend.
