Interview screen with a 3rd party HR contractor. Read from a script. They have no idea of the role, responsibilities only what they are reading. Your local DMV has more character and personality. Advised that my profile would be submitted to a hiring manager. At this point, you are in limbo as the 3rd party has no clue where in the queue your profile sits.

screen calls with HR hiring director, immediately put in touch with hiring manager for call. follow up calls with SE director and the SE for the territory. They felt it was a good fit and I was given an offer.
