NBCUniversal interview questions

This process was directly through nbc's hr, not a recruiting agency. They began with the standard phone screening, then in person interview with a peer team member, supervisor, and two counterparts in other departments. The actual interviews were great, no trick questions, just honest questions to learn about the candidate's experience and ability. The breakdown was in follow up, as follow ups with hr were futile, but when you did get a response they said they were still considering the candidate, but the job had been filled.

I received an email from a recruiter about my application and we set up a phone interview. That seemed to go well so we set up a followup phone call with three different people. I could tell when the call started that they already liked me (from my resume & portfolio). They asked about my experience and told me a little about the job, but it was hard to understand all the intricacies of the position without having looked ahead of time. I heard back soon after and we scheduled an in-person interview. I met with 5-6 people, one on one for each. I answered everything well and had a much better understanding of the work they do. As I was leaving, the man who would have been my boss told me that he really liked me and if I didn't get chosen that he had another position for me. It was a little awkward, as though they already had someone they were hiring, but I said OK and was on my way. I found out that I didn't get the job, but I inquired about the other position that was mentioned. It turned out that it was well below my salary requirements. I also found out that my salary requirements for the initial job were above what they would offer anyway. I think it's important to clarify this during the initial screening (which we did) so there's no issue down the line.
