Interviewed Feb 2012 in Atlanta, GA (took a day)
I received a voice mail from the hiring manager of a new service rollout for automating security and alarm systems using smartphone and tablets. I called back twice before I was able to reach the hiring manager back. When we set up the phone interview to "further discuss my resume" I called promptly at the agreed upon time. I was informed that she needed someone who could "hit the ground runnIng with no training" because this is a "culture where change is the only constant". Furthermore, I was expected to "step in with little to no Onboarding, move In, and produce on short deadlines to roll out new hire training program gor this new initiative drawing from scratch". Then, agreeing that I am adaptable to a basically self-directed training for immediate delivery of work product, I was then informed that I must be proficient in certain proprietary training design software (my indusry peers have never heard of it, by the way), and a list of other IT skills which were not listed in the original job posting to begin with. When I inquired about this, I was told that what I described sounded more like "her iob" and the phone call interview ended quite abruptly.
I now find myself feeling differently about applying to this corporation when the job postings do not match the hiring manager's actual need and it is clear that, although I was applying to be part of creating meaningful training programs for a new service offering sales group for this company, it appears that training is actually not a part of the Onboarding once hired.

There was a 3 person panel interview. Everyone was very friendly. They do a background check, and want things even like a speeding ticket. One co-worker did not put they had a ticket, and it showed up after he was hired. He remained employed, but they brought it to his attention and that he need to give even that information.

I applied for the position of Technical Consultant for AT&T online. I was called a week later and was asked a few questions. The person explained to me the duties of the position. We had even discussed the pay, in which I was very surprised. The interview was scheduled for a few days later.
During the interview, my interviewer, whom was a manager, basically asked me general interview questions about my experience @my former employer. No technical questions, which I had prepared for.
I don't know if this would be helpful. But I would say to be confident and still be prepared for a technical interview. I was shocked it was 1:1; not sure why this was not

Interviewed Oct 2011 in Atlanta, GA (took 2 weeks)
I received an email from a recruiter to apply and then was granted a webcam interview, she loved the fact that I was on time and didn't have any problems setting it up. It was very easy. The recruiter asked a lot of a sales questions and leadership type questions. She also wanted to know why I wanted to work for At&t and what makes At&t so different.

Interviewed Sep 2011 in Atlanta, GA (took 3 weeks)
First you have to have just graduated from college or on the verge of. Another key thing is that you have a good resume on hand. I had a couple of internships and worked in retail all throughout college and realized that this really helped during my interviews. If they like what they see, they will contact pretty fast (I got a call the following day after applying).
My first interview was with a really nice woman from HR in Florida. The interview was through webcam which was pretty cool in my opinion. She asked a lot about what I did in school, my jobs and my experiences with leadership. LEADERSHIP is a big talking point throughout all the interviews you have. The point of the program is to mold leaders into future AT&T leaders. I felt great about the interview and got a callback the next day saying I have a 2nd webcam interview the following week.
My 2nd interview was with someone who worked directly in the program. This interview was also webcam as I stated before and it was similar to the 1st one but my leadership was what was being asked about the most and how I handled certain situations whether be at work or school. It was a great talk and once again felt great about it. I got a call a couple of days later stating that I was on to the 3rd and final interview.
The 3rd interview was in-person with the Director of Retail Sales in my area. It took place in the back of a AT&T retail store. This one was like the previous two but they also ask about what are your goals in life and what do you feel you bring to the program. I realized the Director and I had a lot in common and felt very comfortable talking about myself and my ambitions. Being yourself is a real attribute because they want to meet and see the real you.
Took just a couple of days after the 3rd interview and I was offered a position in the program where you'll be training in Atlanta, GA for 6 months (this is 1 of the reasons why I loved the program when I first saw it). I start at the end of October and I'm very excited especially with all the experience and perks you get. I've been told it's like a classroom setting so be prepared to learn a lot. I've said enough here about the program but there is so much more than I suggest to look it up in the AT&T careers website. (FYI: This is an honest review of what I went through and I couldn't have been happier with how everything went through my interview process)

It's entry level and trust me the compensation is great especially coming out of college.

Interviewed Jun 2011 in Atlanta, GA (took 3 weeks)
Initial interviews are funneled through an external recruiter. They ask basic behavioral questions and questions regarding sales experience. As a recent grad with 2 years sales experience I was surprised to not even go on past the screening round, but with big corporations like ATT I imagine they want someone who can live and breath ATT so talk more about adaptability (working with clients/managers/etc) and willingness to learn their ways through the 6 month training.
Note: The screening interview is very awkward and one sided becuase the recruiter is just asking questions and giving no feedback or personality back to you and then takes long pauses when you finish talking to take notes.

I responded to a LinkedIn message from a recruiter contracted to AT&T Consulting. He knew a bunch of people I have worked with in the past, making for an easy connection.
AT&T Consulting is the former acquitision Callisma. Callisma in itself was a bunch of people from International Network Services.
AT&T Consulting is trying to grow their Microsoft Lync practice, and are being very aggressive in their recruiting efforts. It appears they are looking for just consultants at this time, as my management experience wasn't desired. They were lowballing the salary, so if you have the Lync talent, then make sure you are compensated for it.
The organization is exceptionally spread out. You will likely not meet people face to face until late in the interview process. You should also expect the work environment to be the same.

Applied through school filled out application received invitation for interview. Phone interview was pretty much behavior questions and questions I never have heard in any interview. Didn' t really care for this job anyway because I'm not interested in sales.
