Interviewed Apr 2010 in Reno, NV (took 2 days)
Applied online for a Branch Manager position. About 2 months later, I was contacted by a regional recruiter who said the position was on hold, but had recently opened back up. Did a one hour phone interview, answered general questions about previous sales experience; difficult customers, employees managed, personal goals, meetings sales quotas, and pretty much your line-card sales & management questions. I was OK'd for a face-to-face interview. Did some online research on the the District Manager I was to interview with, nothing came up. Checked BBB , along with other blogs, for the branch- no complaints. Met with District Manager, breezed through the interview to give myself an opportunity to interview as I just wasn't into the job any longer. Nothing against the company, I'm sure they have a great product/service. My two cents- Visit the location, check out the site and employees you are to work with/manage prior to interview.

Interviewed Sep 2009 in Hartford, CT (took 2 days)
The interview preparation was primarily handled an external recruiter- who briefed me well for the meetings.
The company provided me with a good candidate experience. I was escorted to each of my interviews and I was taken to lunch. Each interviewer provided me with an overview of the company and the opportunity from their perspective- which was helpful because although there were common themes, some were more candid than others, which I think provided me with a more balanced view of the company, culture and role. All of the interviews were conversational in nature with some behavioral questions.
Although I my experience was managed while I was at the company, I did not feel that I had a primary contact person at the company that I could reach out to with any questions. This might of been because they relied on the external recruiter- who was effective.
I was not offered the role and the recruiter conveyed this to me, but did not provide any real feedback, which as a candidate is always helpful.
Culture- all in all from what I observed, the company seems to have a warm and friendly culture- a collegial environment. People greet each other in the hallways and seem to know each other well- (asking about their weekends etc.) It is also very informal- from what I was told, senior level executives are very approachable, interacting with all levels of employees. Everyone for the most part eats in the same cafateria.
It appears that the majority of the employees have been with the company for a long time, some for their entire careers, which from what I was told by each of my interviewers creates resistance to new ideas, innovation and change.

Interviewed Nov 2009 (took a day)
I called, came in for an interview; they liked my experience and needed me for an unusual part time shift, so I was hired once I passed a background check.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
They wanted to pay a lower wage; I went as low as I could go and they went as high they were allowed to pay. If they want you in corporate they can only offer as much as they are allowed; if an individual owner or powerful general manager wants you, you can usually cut a more unusual deal.

Interviewed Jan 2010 (took 3 weeks)
Structured interview process with textbook questions such as, How do you feel about working with people who are different than yourself? Tell me about a time when you were upset about something at work and how you dealt with it? What is the most significant thing you have dealt with in the last 6 months? How do you develop trust/rapport? What accomplishment of the past year are you the most proud of? What is your management style?

Interviewed Feb 2009 in Lansing, MI (took 2 days)
The recruiter contacted me after a call (number I got from BMET 24/7 Magazine) and within a week, I received information in regards to being hired with this company.
It was straight forward (drug test, back ground check and referance checks) in the hiring process, with me going into the interview fresh out of school.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
Make sure you do not ask for too much as this company is VERY big on saving every penny it can (reason hospitals contract them). felt I started on the lower scale of the national average BMET salary but, again, I felt this was the only way to get hired in (not asking for 20 an hour).
