DanAdamKOF posted:Any advice on coffee shop interviews? This is for a large and established company for a slightly-above-entry-level software position, the person I'm interviewing with requested we meet at a nearby coffee shop instead of the office. I had an interview like this for a retail job. My experience was the questions were basically the same as in the backroom or whatever, the only thing is- since you are in an uncontrolled environment there are more chances of you doing something or encountering someone who screws you up. For example- my interviewer was a hiring manager- not an HR person - and she offered to buy me coffee, which I accepted- I had to be mindful of what I ordered so I went with a small simple whatever, not a $9 drinks. Let them order first and follow their lead. Next- it was in downtown Palo Alto and that Starbucks is SUPER busy with squatters so I had to be very careful. We lucked out and got a table but only barely. I was a little aggressive in grabbing one, which is a risk to take- but it worked to my advantage because that was the personality type she was hiring for. There is also volume issues if it is crowded.

Unfortunately recruiters and HR people don't really make the decision, but want to have something to say and tell you whatever to make sure you stay interested. I don't know if this means you are back to square 1 or not. They are probably arguing behind the scenes of how great you are and where to put you. It's definitely not a good sign that you have to do more to impress them. Things change so fast and they don't communicate with each other.
