Thanks Drama. My last interview was with 4 people, but they didn't warn me first

I would imagine they're referring to the group bias a group of applicants.

My first group interview was a huge panel. They sat me at the head of a conference table and there were at least 10 people asking questions. I'm sure I would have done better if they had warned me first. I now ask if it will be a group interview. It is important to me.

I had one for the state once that was a table full of people. I didn't mind at all and they sent me a notice that I got 100% then later a job offer but I turned it down because they were too slow.

The "group" interview was 12 applicants seated horseshoe with two hiring managers. It was somewhat informal, but very awkward.

Oh holy cow. Who could actually properly interview candidates that way. Is this typical of the particular company, or is it a whacko boss who values his/her time more than anyone elses?
How much do you want to work with this place? If it was anywhere other than school jobs or fast food/retail new store hiring like that, I'd think hard before I worked for them.
More than uncomfortable, it might indicate a 'dog pile' management style. Throw a bit of meat into the pit & see who comes out alive!!!
