Interviewed Jan 2010 in Austin, TX (took a day)
They flew me out to Austin, and I met first with the director who explained the position and the need and asked some questions about my background. Then I met the team working under him and got a tour of the lab facilities. Then they took me out to lunch, and that concluded the interview.

Interviewed Mar 2011 in Mobile, AL (took 3 months)
The process starts with the online application. If you pass that you will be required to take a skill test at a designated location. If you pass the skill test you will have an over-the-phone interview wit an recruiter. Once you passed the interview you will be invited to a real job preview which is a 1 hour presentation at one of the sites. If you are still interested after the interview you be required to take a physical and a drug test at a designated clinic. Once you passed that you be contacted by your recruiter to "negotiate" your salary and instructed on when you start orientation.

Interviewed Oct 2009 in Commerce Township, MI (took 2 months)
Getting to the interview after applying was the part that took the longest, wanna say around 7-8 months (only due to lack of work and lack of hiring) The Interview process was long and tedious, but not difficult. For the most part they wanna ,make sure you are competent and can function in a fast paced environment and think on your toes as things change constantly while in the field.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
Make sure that you are not planning on working part time and going to school as this job soaks up a better portion of your week and is only full time. They do not work with college schedule's as a number one priority is to meet the needs of the business, they have strict rules regarding attendance and a zero tolerance policy following your first warning in that area despite the reason (car trouble, car accident etc)
Other Details
The interview consisted of a 1:1 Interview, an IQ/Intelligence Test, a Skills Test, a Personality Test, a Drug Test and a Background Check.

Interviewed Jun 2010 in Oklahoma City, OK (took 4+ weeks)
The interview process was relatively easy, it was just a drawn out process. I applied online, and received a call about a week later, asking me to come in to take a test. The test was basic customer service things, typing, then a simulation of taking calls. Overall, if you have worked customer service before, its not too bad. Then you are scheduled then, (based on your test scores) for an interview (if you pass). I was scheduled for an interview, it was about 2 weeks later. The interview was simple, they ask a lot of questions about customer service, a time you worked customer service and it was stressful...etc. Typical interview questions. They will run a background check, they are very thorough with checking references/previous employers, and there is a mandatory urine drug test.

Negotiation Details
I don't have a degree, and I didn't negotiate the salary. I know others who did, but they had a degree. If you have a degree, I do think you get paid more.

Interviewed Jan 2010 in Atlanta, GA (took 2 weeks)
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 Jul 2011 in Cincinnati, OH (took 4 weeks)
The hiring process was horrible. They took weeks to complete my Background check , had trouble verifying my previous job history in which they asked for W2s!!!! I would've told them to go to hell, but I really needed the position. I left halfway through training after getting another position.

I didn't negotiate. But you can always negotiate! The base was $11.84 I believe.

Interviewed Nov 2011 in Hoffman Est, IL (took a day)
Interview was at the head quarters. Interviewer was very calm nice guy. Gave me enough time to think over all the questions being asked and also allowed me with enough patience.
I was surprised how he didn't ask me one single question about my academic career rather we talked more about my experience, best projects, why i chose my school, what do I love the most being in business industry and so on.
very clear and common questions, very friendly behavior, no tough routine, no weird vibes or anything.

Interviewed Apr 2009 (took a day)
It was quick, simple, and a breeze. They ask the most basic of questions, matter of fact I wnoder if they paid too much attention because I was asked the same question twice. I had 2 interviews on the same day which for the most part consisted of the same questions.
