It was a pretty standard interview. I met with the hiring manager and some of the department's team members. Overall, they seemed pretty excited about working at the University, but it just wasn't the right fit for me, and I don't think I would have been a good fit for them either.

Behavioral Presentation
The interview started with a phone screen, then a half-day in-person interview with different team members. The whole process felt pretty standard and professional until after the interview. I went to their campus, spent about 5 hours interviewing with everyone, and even followed up with them to say thanks. But, I never got even an email saying I didn't get the offer. I've never had that happen before, especially after putting in that much time for an interview at any place.

The interview was pretty short but the person I met with, Dawn, was really nice and easy to talk to. It happened in an office and felt pretty laid-back. The whole thing took about 20 minutes, like a quick in-and-out. Later that week, I got a call asking me to come back for a second interview, which also lasted around 20 minutes.

Presentation Other
I was on campus for a single long day of interviews, which was pretty late in the season. I didn't have to teach a class, just give a presentation at the end of the day. Then there was an open forum for questions. The schedule got messed up, and I ended up missing a visit with HR.
