Forte Research Systems interview questions

The process seemed disjointed. I went straight to an interview with the hiring manager, skipping the HR phone screen. Then was put through two additional panel interviews. Finally, I was told I was to have one more panel interview with the team, but literally a few hours before the interview. Interviews were with different stakeholders in the firm and having different relationships with particular software. Interviewing with Forte was one of the most unprofessional experiences in my life. I was promised a fourth and final interview and then hours before the interview, HR interviewed me to tell me the job was filled. Who promises a final candidate an interview and then declines right before it happens? It would be more professional to put everything on hold while you are negotiating a final offer with another candidate then to waste the time of other candidates. I can see from the reviews that this has happened before so it seems like this is regular occurrence and must speak to the culture of the firm and its lack of care for its employees.

HR was efficient and responsive. I went through the entire process but did not receive an offer. 1. HR Phone Interview 2. Team Phone Interview- 2 employees from the product support team discussed my interests and career path with me. They answered my questions about Forte and the position 3. Onsite interview with team- a 5-10 person interview with the product support team. This group included some newer hires, senior team members and supervisors. They asked a lot of personality and culture questions. This included a skills test where I was taken to another room and called by my interviewers to solve a basic issue (I was given three choices) 4. Cross functional onsite interview: met with other groups and answered questions. This was followed my a great meeting with the position supervisor. I then met with three different VPs. One was delightful, and the other two were nice but seemed unprepared for the interview. They were worried about repeating questions. Finally I met again with HR to go over benefits. 5. Notice of no offer was given in less than a week. Overall it took a lot of time, but I met some great people and got a good sense of the company and position.
