Interviewed May 2012 in Shrewsbury, NJ (took a day)
Pros: Everyone was very nice to speak to and tried their best.
Cons: The company has poor communication/application system. The system pulled incorrect contact information and would not allow the automated submission for a position. No one could fix it. Tech support sent me to a local office. Local office scheduled the phone interview but said the position I was applying to was in another office and I was out of luck because they could not call the other office, provide a contact, or offer assistance.
Advice: Clear up the communications and have a clear process for handling tech issues with the automated application system.

Interviewed Feb 2010 (took 3 days)
Was contacted by recruiter over phone and set up a time for a phone interview. Phone interview was generic asking about interests, job history and basic personality and skills questions. Interview ended with setting up a 1:1 interview at the client. 1:1 interview lasted about 45 minutes and was similar in difficulty to the phone interview.

Interviewed Sep 2011 in San Francisco, CA (took 3 months)
I was contacted by a wonderful recruiter who walked me through the process and gave me a detailed picture of what they are looking for. I then spoke with the regional manager in San Francisco, followed by an off-site/lunch interview with their Vice President. One thing that I will say is that throughout the entire process is that everyone spoke the same language - which speaks volumes about the company's culture. They were all very motivated and definitely believed in their company. If you are interviewing with this company (regardless of position) - just be extremely up front and honest right from the very beginning. This will allow you to lower any and all of your barriers and will make the process much more enjoyable from beginning to end.

Interviewed Feb 2012 in Independence, OH (took 5 days)
The interview came about after a referral from the company looking to hire a contractor. The interview at the company went well, and the skills test from Adecco also went well.
Adecco communicated that the company would not wait more than a few days for an acceptance of the offer. The offer was accepted. Adecco advised that it was appropriate to put in a two week notice at the current employer. A resignation was tendered to the current employer and the offer was accepted not knowing the contingencies of the offer (background check). The background check was failed due to incorrect information and the offer was rescinded. No chance was given to explain the situation.
Overall when it came to the details of the offer the process was handled unprofessionally.

Interviewed Sep 2010 in Toledo, OH (took 2+ weeks)
The process is behavioral based. The really drilled and probed to all of the answers, specifically around metrics and technology. The people were very welcoming. Open office environment and everyone looked busy. I had 1 phone interview and an interview with 3 levels of the branch management team. They were really wonderful and transparent. Managed expectations so I was not surprised with what I got when I started working.

Interviewed Apr 2011 in New York, NY (took a day)
I was called in to interview for a position as a toy product demonstrator in Times Square, but when I arrived to the interview and noted that I would rather work as an administrative assistant, they immediately changed gears mid interview. The recruiter was very flexible towards my needs and understanding that I didn't have any New York work experience. Overall, I met with three recruiters, a branch manager and the regional operations manager for Adecco. It turns out that they were also looking to hire someone to work within Adecco. Everyone was really great and accommodating and they offered me a job right away working for them at their agency.
