Interviewed Jun 2011 (took 3 weeks)
I came across this opportunity through my school's career website. The description hardly touches on what you will be doing for the company... the details just highlight the greatness of the chairman of the company. The office appears to be very pristine, and music is constantly playing in the background. A majority of the interview is the employer talking about how great his company is. There is a survey at the end of the first interview, asking you five questions that are directed to your personality, for example, "why do you want to work here." Here they seem to like to hire recent college graduates; young people. The music playing in the background is also very hip, making it seem like a fun place to work.

Interviewed Feb 2009 in Irvine, CA (took 1 week)
The first interview was an interesting format. I met with the President of the company, along with a few other candidates. Unlike most interviews, the President himself conducted the interview, as opposed to me being pawned off on some recruiter. This showed me that management is very hands on. As I found out, the President, Darren Sugiyama, was also the founder of the firm This gave me insight as to the philosophy of the organization, from the founder himself.
The second interview was one-on-one, directly with Mr. Sugiyama. It was really refreshing to be able to sit down with such a successful person because he was actually very approachable. Most people at this level aren't willing to spend any significant amount of time with an interviewee. He asked me what my main goals were regarding my career, but more importantly, he was willing to answer any question I had. Everything was so direct and straight forward. Other interviews I've been on were all the same, boring format. My interview with Mr. Sugiyama was actually quite inspiring.

Negotiation Details
I would advise interview candidates to do your homework and learn as much about Mr. Sugiyama as possible prior to the interview. If you go to www.DarrenSugiyama.com, there are a bunch of videos about him and what he does. You want to go into your interview knowing his background, because most likely, you'll be interviewing with him. It's important to be able to have a conversation with him about his business ventures.

I got the interview through a College or University and the interview consisted of a 1:1 Interview and a Group/Panel Interview.

Interviewed Sep 2010 in Irvine, CA (took 3 days)
Apex was the 1st company that had a group interview environment. I have experienced 'panel interviews' with several decision makers in the room at once, but a group interview is entirely different.
Initially, I found it to be a little intimidating, While being questioned openly it became very apparent who was (and was not) prepared. Those that are confident in their skill levels and success in their careers need not fear.

Interviewed Feb 2010 in Irvine, CA (took a day)
Interview process was in a room with 4 other people interviewing for the same position. They showed us a video about how great their company was and how much money we would be making (kept saying "you're gonna drive the car of your dreams"). Then they just asked us about our background and then proceeded with answering questions. They then send you an email questionnaire to fill out and then send back.

Interviewed Mar 2010 (took 3 days)
First-round interview consisted of a group meeting with two senior consultants and several other candidates who applied for the same position; designed mainly for us to ask questions about the company.
Second phase of the interview process was via email - responding to just a few questions to get our thoughts and opinions.
Final stage was an in-person interview with the president. Open-ended where he asked me questions and I asked him questions.

Interviewed Apr 2010 in Irvine, CA (took a day)
While waiting in the lobby to be called in I noticed that the background music wasn't the conventional sound you'd expect of just about any business office. It was more current and edgy and that speaks of the employees there as well. That was a good sign for me being straight out of college. I was shown a video clip to kick off the interview. Two men then walked into the room to have a chat with me. And that's exactly what it felt like. It was more a getting to know each other than a drilling experience. Darren Sugiyama - the President - then walks in during the tail part of the interview to have a brief session. They will e-mail you with a set of questions you have to answer if you make it through to the second round. And if they like your answers you make it to another face-to-face interview for your third screening process.
