At a job interview, is it normal for the employer to show you around their offices and departments?

Q:

A: This is not only normal, It is an effective tool used by interviewers. Walking an applicant around the office and watching the applicant's responses to the physical space, can offer insight into how that applicant views their potential work space and co-workers. I have seen applicants become silly, tense, defensive, and even inappropriate in a walk through, while they interviewed in my office very well. What you hope to see is the applicant who maintains a comfortable demeanor and a friendly and professional attitude. A walk through is not just for the applicants benefit, and does not mean you have the job. Good luck to you
