After applying online, they call and set up a phone conversation with an in-house recruiter. After that, is a phone interview with a hiring manager. I've been through this process twice, and both times made the trip out to Camas, WA. Despite my extreme distaste for the firm's interview practices, I actually had legitimate and significant interest in both the position and the firm. That distaste comes from the overall experience during and after the in-person interview. The second time around, a senior person actually gave very positive feedback and said there would be a quick turn-around on the decision. They then missed their self-imposed deadline to call me. Further, I had to send an email to them after that deadline in order to get any response. My guess is that if they find a candidate lacking in some facet, they are "relaxed" about their communication after they make that decision. However, that is only my own opinion and is only supported with my own anecdotal evidence. To anyone making the trip to Camas, I would say that you should take any positive feedback from the interviewers with a huge grain of salt. Obviously, this firm should only be one of several employment options for any candidate, but they have a major tendency to give overly positive feedback, seemingly regardless of the actual interest on their part. I think that happens for two reasons: (1) The interviewers are trying to walk a thin line and honestly want to not put anyone off, and (2) They are majorly afraid of lawsuits regarding their hiring practices. The first point is an assumption on my part, because I genuinely believe that the majority of interviewers are good people and want to make the candidates comfortable. The second point is once again my own personal judgment based mostly on my own anecdotal evidence. They always refuse to give ANY reason for declining a candidate. This says to me that they are indeed leery of being at risk of potential lawsuits for hiring practices. Again, that is my own impression, so it may indeed be completely off-base. It actually saddens me that the firm acts in this way, mostly because I had positive opinions of the position and the firm until this happened. I hope that I am wrong about most or all of this, but the appearances are what they are in this case. Good luck to anyone who gets an in-person interview. Be aware of the process and set expectations accordingly.
