Interviewed Apr 2012 in University Park, IL (took 5+ weeks)
First, Applied Systems was at my career fair. I talked to the HR recruiter about the various positions available. I applied online and got an email a few weeks later saying that the recruiter wanted to conduct a phone interview with me. I conducted the phone interview and afterwards she told me to fill out some paperwork online. The paperwork consisted of an online application, a long-form application, a personality test, and an assessment test. I completed all those and emailed them to the recruiter the same day I had my phone interview. The recruiter called me the next day saying that the vice president of customer support wanted to conduct an on-site interview. The on-site interview was about 2 weeks later and was about a little over an hour long. It was broken up into two sessional interviews, one with the VP of customer support and the other with two supervisors. Each lasted about 30 minutes each. Had a follow up with the recruiter afterwards telling me they will let me know by tomorrow. The next day, the recruiter called me telling me I got the job.

Interviewed Apr 2012 in Mississauga, ON (Canada) (took a day)
It was a 30 min phone interview with a recruiter. The recruiter asked general resume questions and about past projects. He said he would consider me for the position and send my info to the hiring manager at their Mississauga location. I received a rejection email two weeks later.

Interviewed Feb 2011 in University Park, IL (took 1+ week)
The process began online with a skills test. Once brought in, you complete the skills test to verify that you were the original test taker. From there, you will interview with your direct supervisor. It then took around 4 days to hear from HR that they were interested and present an offer letter.

Interviewed Dec 2011 in University Park, IL (took 2 weeks)
I went to the career fair at my school and talked to representatives of about ten different software companies, Applied Systems was the only one to contact me. They had me answer two questionnaires, one involved math and was timed, the other was a personality test. After completing those tests, he sent me a long form application to fill out. After that was done, we set up an interview. I came in, talked to him for 15 mins, went and spoke with two managers individually for half an hour a piece, then went back to him after. One manager asked me to write a program to shuffle a deck of cards on a piece of paper in front of him. I had been told by HR there would be no programming during the 1:1 interview but I guess he lied. A couple weeks later the HR guy called me again and I went in for another interview. This time the two managers seemed to mostly be interested in specific details of projects that I worked on several years prior. Seeing as how I don't have any of my old homework memorized, I didn't do well in the interview. Overall, the employees all seemed very nice, the campus the building is located on is beautiful, but the area it's located in is not the nicest part of Chicagoland.

Interviewed Mar 2010 in University Park, IL (took 1+ week)
Met with the Software development Vice President and Manager. Discussed education, experience, and completed a programming test.
They gave me a few scenarios and how would I handle them, a written programming test which consisted of writing a simple algorithm to solve a basic / simple problem in a programming language I am familiar with. We reviewed and discussed a few other job related issues.

Reason for Declining
Was verbally offered 53K and pressured to accept it over the phone. I told them i wanted to see the written offer before I committed. I'm glad I did, because the writen offer was for 49K. Quite a difference, and they tried to say that I misheard, which is hard to do with those two numbers. Besides I am making 56K in Milwaukee at a LOWER cost of living...
