Interviewed with Staffing Agency multiple times. Got a 1 on 1 interview. Met with 2-3 people one at a time. Got a response call later in the day. Got a second interview. Negotiated the final rate. Great company, campus, people and place to be! This company has such a great environment to work in.

First contact was a phone interview with the recruiting representative. That was somewhere between 30-40 minutes. At completion I was informed that my answers would be reviewed and they would be calling again if interested.
Second interview was scheduled within two days of initial phone call and took place at the Irvine headquarters with the hiring manager. About an hour and a half.

You have a phone interview which is done by their recruiter. Then another phone interview by the hiring manager. Then if you pass that, you have an interview with a panel of 7 people. The interview process takes a while. Intend to be there for the entire day. If you are lucky, they take you out to lunch.

Pleasant envirnoment. Professional HR team with the hiring manager interview situational questions style interview. The building was difficult to find and after repeated attemps at the reception to get directions (which were driving distance off campus), I eventually ended up at the right place 15 minutes late. On the second visit, things went better.
