I should mention that I was an intern before interviewing; four weeks into my internship and I saw the position, so I applied. I also emailed an HR person, and they forwarded my resume to the Hiring Manager. Maybe two days later I was asked to setup an interview time (it was during my internship). I was taken to coffee and it was laid back (30 minutes). Had a second interview a couple of days later. Again, it was laid back and this was going to be the manager I reported to.

I was contacted by a local Apex Systems agent to apply for a position in Denver while I was NOT actively seeking employment. After being badgered via calls and emails multiple times per day for a week or two, I decided to further explore the opportunity. The recruiter had assured me I was a great fit for their client, Zayo, and she had set up an interview. After two brief phone interviews, I was set for an onsite interview. When meeting the team onsite in Denver, it seemed as if the team did not know what they wanted from this position but rather to collect information on what they may be looking for in a candidate to fill the position down the road. The interview was with two executives and a third jumped in halfway through which basically caused the interview to restart from the beginning. It was very unprofessional and seemed like some frat brothers looking to "haze" freshman. They acted as if they were better than me and tried to intimidate me as an interviewing candidate by asking outrageous and irrelevant questions. They asked about CRM's I have previously used then acted as if they did not exist because they haven't heard of them all while quickly jotting down the CRM names for later use. They even tried to get me to discuss projects for my current position in extreme detail to the point where they would try to copy down some of the analysis techniques and processes my firm used as unique differentiation. After the interview I heard nothing until I sent a follow-up email a week later. The Apex recruiter immediately called me and told me the team had never received approval to hire for this position and that the position did not exist. In the end, it seemed like an opportunity for the Zayo team to gather additional industry knowledge and learn about CRM's and financial analysis which they had no understanding of. I was sent on a wild goose chase with no achievable results.
