Was emailed to set up a phone interview. I was called an hour earlier than the interviewer said she would call. Very nice and explained the organization well.

Interviewed Oct 2011 in Atlanta, GA (took 2 months)
Interview process consist of a detail phone interview that lasted close to an hour with the hiring manager and senior manager. Was brought in two weeks later for a face to face interview with the hiring manager and senior manager. No follow up or feedback. Received form email 2 months later stating they were reviewing other candidates. Entire experience awful. Very unprofessional.

Interviewed Jul 2011 (took 2 weeks)
Everyone was very nice and understanding. The first one on one interview was more of a personality and background screening. The second consisted of many situational questions, for example "Tell me about a time when..." They asked about sales experience, presentation experience, experience with youth, and working within a school system.

Interviewed Sep 2011 (took 4+ weeks)
I was contacted by the national ACS recruitment team to be a part of the pre-screening process for this position after applying to other similar positions. This consisted of completing a questionnaire, which was a written document asking for a modified/expanded resume as well as answers to a couple of short answer personality questions. After submitting this document via e-mail, I was contacted 2 weeks later via phone. I had a brief (20 minutes) screening phone interview with an assistant to the hiring manager to expand on my written application as well as to clarify the job description; this was very casual. 9 days later, I heard back from the same assistant to schedule an in-person interview. The interviews were all taking place on the same day (4 days after hearing from the assistant). The interview itself was comfortable, but certainly professional. About half of the questions were general personality questions, while the other half were specific to actions I would take as a CRM. There were three hiring managers present, since the position available was flexible in location. The interview lasted about 30 minutes. I heard back from one of the hiring managers via phone one week later letting me know that they had not chosen me for the position. There was no background check or reference check throughout my process; I assume that these are done after an individual is chosen for the position. My biggest piece of advice when applying to ACS is to be patient; decisions seemed to take a long time, and I had to wait at least 1 week between each stage of the interview process.

Interviewed Apr 2011 in Atlanta, GA (took 6 weeks)
The interview was pretty straight forward. Had interviews with HR, Hiring Manager, Director of that group and last interview was with team members. I think the HM like me more than her boss. They as me some standard research questions along with what would you do in XYZ situation.
It would seem like a nice place to work, I guess it just not a good fit. It took about 2 weeks after my last interview for the HR person to say we are looking for another candidate. All of my interviews were over the phone as I lived in a different state. They did say they would bring me down for the final interview but changed their mind and did a telephone interview. I should have known at that point I wasn't going to get the position. But ohh well...

Interviewed Apr 2011 (took 3 weeks)
The position had been open for almost 9 months before they even conducted interviews. To make matters worse, they had several fundraising events going on while they were trying to conduct interviews. When you were told a certain person would contact you on a certain day and time, they never did. When you left messages, they would never return your calls. Finally, someone from HR setup the in person interview, yet I had 6 phone interviews with several different people. When I did do the interview, there was a room full of people, the interview itself lasted 2 hours and then I had to meet with all the employees and was interviewed by all of them, which lasted about an hour. I was told I had to be able to click with all the employees or it won't work out. Apparently, I didn't click well with the employees.

Interviewed Feb 2011 (took 1 week)
It varies based on hiring manager. Some will meet with you face to face, others will do a phone interview, still others do a list of emailed questions. The screening and process seems to be pretty random based on the hiring manager, but the interviews are not intimidating and everyone is fairly nice. However, I think they often go through the motions because they already know who they are going to hire before they interview.

Interviewed Apr 2011 in Oklahoma City, OK (took 4 days)
First, I applied online. It took a couple of days, but then I received a call from a woman in Houston who worked for the American Cancer Society. She then asked me a couple of questions that you would typically hear in an interview. Afterwards, she set up a time for me to be interviewed by the manager at the OKC office. I came for the interview, typical questions, the lead associates interviewed me, typical questions. I then left and was called within 30 minutes and accepted the offer.
