It is common to have different peers doing a technical and a cultural/team fit evaluation, plus engineering manager and someone on the project/product side. DevOps often has different technical interviews for each area your expected to work (that should bea hint about how well it works, but noooooo...) And then HR. And maybe a 2 up interview, but that's an indication of management troubles. So... A large interview panel isn't surprising, and may not be quite as bad a sign. But then, it might. Also, welcome back!

As far as the promotion thing, not sure what you’re getting that from (earlier posts I guess). For one thing I haven’t been specifically hunting down a promotion. I’m not even looking for a new job as a promotion. However, the thing is in my industry typically you’re a junior engineer for a year or two and then once you’ve learned your position’s responsibilities and added skills necessary to perform well on the team you’re no longer considered junior. Junior basically just means fresh out of college and ideally you’re inexperienced the first six to twelve months until you really feel at ease on the team and with your position. I have a toxic work environment which is why I’m looking elsewhere. Well, that plus as I mentioned last night they’re folding my role into a position that I’m uninterested in. Devops is quite different from what I actually want to do, and since it is early in my career it’s the ideal time to try pivoting away from a career path I’m clesrly not interested in pursuing now. Anyway hope that helps you understand .

Shitty work environments suck the energy out of everything else no matter how hard we try to keep it all separated. Most of us have been there.

I think the reason I've mentioned it there is partly for what I explained before, but I've also because I have been working on the same team with the same responsibilities for nearly 3 years (mix of part time and full time) in total. Anyway, I digress.

Well, at least, you found out that company/position isn't for you at this time.
My job interview experience is so outdated, that it would be of no use to you. Back-in-the-day, my interviews were with the hiring manager and lasted about 45 minutes and another 5 minutes with the next higher up. I suggest you just keep looking around. humfrz |

Priorities. I was in FL, and bought them direct from the factory. I knew one of the sales guys. It was also before I started collecting guns and racing ATVs. I have a special edition Micro-Tech Ultratech, a UT-70, and the tanto Scarab.

I aced the interview but turned them down because they tried to lowball me. Worst one I had was with a company I did end up going to work for. I had one 90 minute interview but it was with a panel of 15 Managers/Directors from around the organization, almost none of them technical. What they didn't realize is one of my core competencies is being able to lay on the bullshit when you put me in front of a microphone and a bunch of people that really don't know their subject. I had another where they interviewed all candidates in one day, they had us all in a "huddle room" and we would go from one interviewee to another then back to the room. About an hour in, we all started exchanging information about the interviewers and what questions they were asking. It was other-worldly.

Usually that means the interviews are long with multiple interviewers and there's an assumption that you can skip lunch, speak with multiple people over 4+ hours, and then still have a fresh mind to tackle tough questions. I.e. for me yesterday an example of that was being asked to do a recursion problem during hour #6 after a long explanation of a problem completely outside my knowledge domain, while my stomach grumbled out of hunger (barely any breaks; just water/quick bathroom if necessary). Anyway, it's not great. That's all, and nobody has discovered a better way. So the torture continues.

Half my kitchen knives are more than that. They stay sharp and hold a wicked edge making them effortless to use. Worth every penny. If you don't use them, then... Maybe not worth as much.
