Occurs to me, that at least two interviews are needed. The

Most of the shops I've interviewed in send you to the guy you're going
to be working for first, then HR.

The one place where I went to HR first, the interviewer's description
of the company management made me not bother with the rest.

After a group orientation for a company, which ran a rotating
shift - twelve hour days (two on three off, three one two off, etc)
for two weeks, then reverse for two weeks on nights, a bunch of us
left before it got went any further. I didn't want to have to carry a
calendar to know if I'll be free on Saturday. and then said "I've only
been here a half hour, and already I have a bad attitude about working
here." Twelve hour shifts and an hour's drive in good traffic, each
way? I might not have much of a life, but I do have one.
