> but the hiring at that company was a whole other song and dance that took very little input from anyone about the hiring process.

That doesn't sound healthy to me.

For sure, seem like they will treat lots of other things the same. What about comp? Promotions?

The company was large and paid well, outside of very few situations HR didn't actually decide what people got paid, they just clogged up the recruiting, interview, and actually finalizing the OK to hire someone process.
