Interviewed Jun 2010 (took 2 days)
I applied directly online to their website and was emailed approximately 2 weeks later. Via email, the initial person and I scheduled an appointment to do a phone interview/screening. She asked basic questions: why I was interested in ACS, how I feel about cold calling, experience in recruiting clients and volunteers, and why I was leaving current position. The next day, I received a call from the director of the region I would be working in and set up a 1:1 interview/group interview for two days later. At this interview, it seemed a lot more informal and can't remember being asked anything too difficult, did have to fill out another application and release to have background, credit and education check. I mentioned in the interview that I knew I had the skills, just wanted to know if I would "fit" in. We wound up talking about family, hobbies and pets. I definitely feel like I would fit into the culture of the company. Both people who interviewed me were "beautiful" people so that was honestly more intimidating than the questions. This was recently, so I am still awaiting my offer.

Interviewed Jun 2008 in Austin, TX (took a day)
after working for ACS for 5 years, I applied for a position in leadership. The manger opened a book with behaviorial questions and proceeded to read straight from the book. I was only asked 4 questions, and not one was related to my experience or performance in my current position. The questions were your standard vague questions. ACS only promotes on how well someone does in the interview and doesn't even use performance information when its available. I was even told I interviewed exceptionally well.

Interviewed Mar 2010 (took 2 months)
After applying for the position, an HR representative contacted me for an initial screening interview. This interview lasted less than 10 minutes. Then about a month later I was contacted by the same HR person, who scheduled an interview with the Director of the division that I would be working with and the Director of Income Development. The interview was approximately 25-30 minutes long and involved basic and situational questions.

Interviewed Feb 2008 in Atlanta, GA (took a day)
It was a fairly straightforward interview with basic background questions, ethical dilemas, examples of leadership and project management skills. The people were very friendly and the environment was warm and inviting. I could tell immediately that it was the type of office environment that I would enjoy.

Interviewed Dec 2009 in Jacksonville, FL (took a day)
A quick(15 minutes) phone interview consisting of a few questions. Interviewer seemed distracted(multi-tasking?) - did not answer my questions directly and was not familiar with my resume. While the telephone may be useful in screening a large number of applicants, the process seems awkward and detrimental to finding the right person for the job and the team.

Interviewed Nov 2009 in Mendota Heights, MN (took 1+ week)
I had a unique experience in my interview process. I was called by an HR representative to schedule an in-person interview with the Community Relations Director. A few days later I went to the ACS office and spent about 45 minutes speaking with the Community Relations Director about my experience in sales and in working with groups of volunteers. It was a very informal interview, and I found out later that was because it wasn't this person who was making the final decision. A person below him was making the hiring decisions, but she was out of town and he wanted to get the process moving, so he wanted to meet me as soon as possible. I believe it was because he would have needed to meet with me in person if I was chosen for the position and he just wanted to get a jump start on the process. 3 or 4 days later, I received a call from the Community Relations Manager to schedule an interview, and I went back to the office to meet with her and another CR Manager in person. This interview was more like a first interview, and I was asked questions about my sales experience, about my customer service experience, and my work with volunteers. There were some behavioral questions, buy nothing that I would consider a "gotcha" question.

Interviewed May 2008 in Oakland, CA (took a day)
First round was a phone interview - basic general questions about background, probably to get a sense of if you have meet the general prereqs and are pleasant. Next was a panel interview. This was awkward - the questions, that is. They are more oriented toward what you would do in certain situations, such as if you're faced with a difficult situation. The questions were geared more towards your personality and how you handle situations, rather than focusing on your skills and background.

Interviewed Apr 2009 in Portland, OR (took 2 months)
It was a very good interviewer and I liked him immediately and felt I could work well with him. He seemed encouraging but there has been no follow up communication. The interview atmosphere was cordial, relaxed, questions reasonable and a very classy approach when he asked questions about my resume and some untested qualifications needed. It seemed that I was being considered from the interviewer's questions and mannerisms, but he also made it plain that he had many candidates and would re-interview some of them in more depth with a second interview. As I was not called back and he didn't answer my email follow-up, I assume he hired someone else.
