[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks everyone.  My next round of interviews - yes, that's exactly what it is - is Thursday.  I got the interview agenda in my inbox today and I'll be interviewing with the CIO and two VPs.

I'm keeping my mind open and myself focused, but I am disappointed that the recruiter was not transparent to begin with and direct with whether this was another round of interviews and not just "meeting some people".

I found out today I'm getting an offer from another company I interviewed with and so I'll play it by ear and see how it goes Thursday.  This position would be a great fit, but the last few days have been confusing and discouraging.

Thanks for the perspectives and encouragement.  Will follow up when I know more.

Good luck, OP.  Maybe you'll get two offers and be in the enviable position of choosing.

I would take all of this as a red flag, though.  It seems to me that at the very least, communication isn't very good at this company/organization.  If someone told you that interviewing was done and you'd hear by the end of the week but then this happened, it shows that either there is a lack of communication (best case scenario) or there are conflicts between people/power struggles (worst-case scenario).

I once had a situation where I went through multiple interviews.  Then they said they were bringing me in for something else they thought was a better fit.  And that had multiple interviews.  It seemed like a sort of ridiculous process.  I should have seen it as a red flag.  I got the job, and it didn't take long for me to realize there were a lot of strange issues there.  And that weird process was a result of the strange power dynamics.  I left after a year.
