Interviewed Oct 2011 in Nashville, TN (took 6 months)
After applying several times on their website over the months, I played phone/email tag with a person in HR. Finally another HR person set up an interview with the hiring manager. Met with the hiring manager, who took one look at my resume and stated that he knew I could handle the job by my credentials as I was overqualified. We discussed the different work culture he was offering compared to my current position, which is like night and day. I wanted that job very much. Unfortunately the cut in pay in what he was offering was too much for me to absorb, even for the better quality of work life.

Peron has to take a logical test. Then a 1:1 interview. Then a personality test and a group/panel interview where you have to present a topic.

Interviewed Mar 2011 in San Diego, CA (took 2+ weeks)
The interview process seems to be very through and methodical. You first have a phone interview with an HR Rep. If you pass that, then you have a phone interview with the hiring manager. After that, you are invited to the offices for an in-person interview with the Hiring Manager and the team you'll be working with. In my case, I was then sent an "assignment" so that the team could evaluate my approach and understanding of the process for the job. They then chose the candidate that best fit their needs.
The employees were very nice and laid back. I saw lots of people around lunch running, biking and working out around the building.

Interviewed Apr 2010 (took 4 weeks)
Interview process involved a phone screen with a recruiter, a phone screen with the hiring manager followed by an on-site panel interview. The panel interview consisted of questions about why do you want to work for Active Network. Describe the architecture of your last project. Describe different software methodologies. The interview went well and I was told I would be getting a call in a few days with next steps. Never heard back.

Interviewed Feb 2010 in Vancouver, BC (Canada) (took 5 days)
I had two phone interviews. The first was with the HR Manager and was a screening interview. The second was with the manager that I would have been working under. Both interviews went very well and I was offered an in person interview, but during the second interview we had discussed salary. The absolute maximum salary that they could offer was $35,000 annually. I was looking for a salary in the $40,000 range so this just wasn't enough. Also, the role was advertised as an e-marketing role, but once I spoke to the manager I realized it was more like a sales role, and involved a lot of cold-calling clients. Both the managers who interviewed me were very nice, and were there a different role available in this organization I would consider applying for it.

Interviewed Apr 2010 (took 2+ weeks)
My two phone interviews were rescheduled 5 times. I was not impressed. It would have felt better to have been rejected immediately rather than wasting my time on several occassions. This behavior in the interview process makes me wonder if they truly value and respect people. I was very interested in the culture you read about Active but the interview process did not reflect the culture I expected.

Interviewed Jan 2010 (took 1 week)
I felt that the interview was disorganized, and did not fully explain what the job would entail. They didnt ask me any relevant technical questions or talk much about the skills I possessed.
