Interviewed Jul 2010 (took 5 days)
The interview process was surprisingly simple. You need to be up to date on technical support information and an A+ certification is a big help. You will be taking two tests that run a diagnostic of where you stand as far as skills. The people are friendly and the environment is positive.

Interviewed Oct 2009 (took 2 months)
Had a telephone interview in which i was asked general background questions and basic questions relating to the field I had applied. Second round was 1:1 interview where I was again asked questions regarding fundamentals and I was given situations and asked how i would solve them. Overall, the interview lasted for one hour and interviewers where really down to earth . Seemed like a good team to work with.

Interviewed Aug 2009 in San Diego, CA (took 2 days)
It was a group interview for 2 positions, Corporate Education Liaison and Enrollment Counselor. While the first round of interviews was very organized, it was highly competitive. Nearly 30 candidates were asked to compete with each other on presentation skills. There was no opportunity to speak with the panel one on one.
Round 2 interviews were more disorganized. I was called in but when I arrived there was no one available to greet me. The interviewer was still conducting an interview with another candidate. As there was no where else to wait other than in the hallway outside the interview, I was able to listen in on nearly the entire interview. After waiting for 45 minutes, the interviewer finally came out and seemed surprised to see me. After we discussed the position in more detail, I decided that the job and the salary range was not what I was looking for.

Interviewed Mar 2009 in Phoenix, AZ (took 3 days)
I told the recruiter specifically, that I am looking for an IT Manager position, and not interested in any other developer jobs they had open.
The hiring manager called me did a phone screen, and wanted to meet me.. so I did the 40 mile trek and met with him. It went very well; he wanted me to meet some of his other team members the next week, I agreed and we scheduled a date. I reiterated that I am looking for a business analyst/management position, and it has been over 6 yrs after had written a piece of code; my skill is best suited in performing code reviews and functioning as the business / IT liaison than a developer.
Hiring manager calls me, says he would realllly like me to take some programming skill test they have - just the standard stuff they do and that it is no big deal. So I brushed up my forms books, and went to meet with the others.
I do the 40 mile trek again, Hiring manager is no where in sight - I waited for 30 min, one of the other "Managers" (peers for the position being interviewed) come out and receive me he took me spoke to me for 5 min, explained me the duties of the IT Managers.. basically we do all the development work, includes forms and reports writing. Developers write PL/SQL, Sr, Manager manages us, and we don't have any business analysts; gave me a question paper - forms & reports, and showed me a pc and left. I managed to finish all the items - barely as all my programming skills were as a b/e developer and a DB Designer.
I am still waiting to hear from any of them from that company.. (about a yr after)
*** Highly unprofessional company ***

Interviewed Aug 2008 (took 4+ weeks)
I was already employed by the company and was looking for a position change from inside sales to outside sales. I had interviewed once before and was not offered the job. This time I was determined. They want to know that you have drive and will do what it takes to get the job done. They want to know you have the ability to plan and execute a strategy. They want to know that you will produce results. The people are friendly and nice to work with. The culture is one of success.

Negotiation Details
There is little negotiation with the company. They have a hiring range which is rather low. You will earn significant increases biyearly if you are a go getter and exceed the goals set out for you.

Reason for Declining
Because this position is a dead end position there is really no benefit for future growth except for corporate trainers.

Interviewed May 2009 in Phoenix, AZ (took 2 weeks)
My first and second interviews were with the VP of the hiring department. The first interview was question and answer - a brief review of my resume and experience. I was also asked about why I was looking for a change in job. For the second interview I was asked to prepare a presentation based on the VPs direction document about how I would execute as director. The presentation was for the VP only. The 3rd interview was a panel discussion with the VPs direct reports - three directors in the department. The interview was the presentation I gave to the VP, and about 20 minutes of questions. Key questions were: how would I respond to a situation where I made a recommendation, but the department receiving the recommendation would not implement it? Another question was: how do I foresee expanding the role of IT risk management from security focused to broader IT risk management? Finally, another question was: how do I plan on working with enterprise risk managment?
