Interviewed Feb 2012 in San Diego, CA (took 3 months)
The interview process was fairly straight forward. The entire process took 3 months which is more than I was expecting. It consisted of an initial phone interview, a presentation, and multiple 1 on 1 interviews for the day. The company seems like a very promising company doing very interesting R&D. The management and other team members were really friendly. My only complaint was the extremely slow hiring process.

Interviewed Mar 2012 in San Diego, CA (took 3 days)
A recruiter contacted me and asked if she could submit my resume. I was then told 2 days later I had an interview (the next morning). I interviewed with approx. 3 other people. It was only a 15-20 minute interview that focused on my skill set/background.

Interviewed Mar 2012 (took 2 days)
Interview went well with both interviewers. Both were very pleasent. Myself and I felt I was qualified for this position and I should have received and offer. I feel It could have been personality or age. The reason they gave to the recruiter was so vague. I asked what does that mean? All the points the made were false or meaningless. I don't understand what this company wants. I met all their expectations but I think it was age.
Other Details
I got the interview through a Recruiter and the interview consisted of a Phone Interview.

Interviewed Jun 2011 in Livermore, CA (took 4+ weeks)
I received a phone call interview after applying online. The HR lady gave me positive feedback and had scheduled a face-to-face interview on site. I had to complete a typing and data entry test first and also an Excel skills test before going to the interview.The day of the interview they had said the HR rep who I had been in contact with will let me know if I got the job within a week. I kept emailing the HR lady who responded once and then ignored my emails for a month after. Finally I received a letter saying I didn't get the job.

Interviewed Apr 2010 (took 3 days)
Applied for an internal position that was offered online. I actually applied to another position but the recruiter put me as a better fit for this one.
Unfortunately I wasn't in the right "area" in the country for it. Not sure why that happened as they didn't even list this information. That might have helped.
The interview was over the phone and very basic. The interviewer was upfront and advised that I probably wouldn't be considered due to lack of a certain experience. What confused me is why I had an interview since it was clear I didn't have that experience on my resume.

Interviewed Mar 2011 (took 2 days)
I got the interview through submitting my resume in an university career fair. A HR staff called me initially to set up the interview with a principle scientist in the company. The phone interview was more about clarifying what I have done and what I can bring to the company. I was contacted by another scientist from the company for a second phone interview. The questions were more technical. Just make sure you can explain what you put on your resume.

Interviewed Jan 2011 (took 3 weeks)
I applied online. I was then contacted by Human Resources to set up an initial job screening. I was then notified that the Director of the department wanted to bring me in. I met with a couple of people and the interview went very well. I was told that I would be contacted and they would call me in to meet another individual who would make the final decision.
My perception of the people was very positive. I found them open, inviting and it they made me want to work for Alere.
