Interviewed Aug 2011 (took 2 weeks)
I received an e-mail from an Avaya recruiter with various dates and times for an interview. My first interview was a phone interview with two hiring managers. I interviewed for the roll of Senior Program Manager. An initial discussion regarding the roll took place, then it was turned over to myself to provide information on my background, skillset, and experience. Questions were then exchanged between myself and the two hiring managers. One question in particular to me was to describe my definition of the difference between a project manager and a program manager. For others interviewing for a Program Management position, my advice would be to come prepared with an answer to this question.
Approximately two weeks later I received a request for a second phone interview. The second phone interview was with the manager of the two hiring managers I had spoke to previously. That interview went extremely well and I was offered the position that very afternoon.
I had an opportunity to negotiate salary for this senior level position.

Interviewed Nov 2011 in Westminster, CO (took 2 months)
Pphone interview, in-person interview at HQ with 6+ people, then a month later, an in-person interview in CO office where work would be with another 6+ people. Good interviews/questions/responses. People in CO seemed very bright and good engineering team. In spite of promise to inform me of decision either way, never heard anything back at all. Had to push to get them to reimburse travel expenses. Disappointing, but better to find out up front that they are disorganized/poor communication skills.

I had to interview with the Management team (Director Level) first. I then had to interview with each of the Account Managers on the Sales team that i would be supporting. Last i interviewed with the engineering manager that i would report to. They asked various technical and personality questions.

Interviewed Oct 2011 (took 4 days)
The hiring process is very streamlined, multiple interviews with senior managers & peers. It is essential to be technically strong & to demonstrate this at interviews. Be clear on what you have done & what you want to do, no waffling, no hesitation. Once hired, the HR process is very clear, all documents related to company handbook, benefits & policies are communicated to you via email in advance of your start date. You are assigned a companion who will assist you with orientation on the first day.

Interviewed Oct 2011 in Bogota, Department of Cundinamarca (Colombia) (took 4+ weeks)
I was contacted by a recommendation from an employee of the company, I made ??3 interviews where I had the chance to talk with my future boss and the HR people. Be clear about the position that I was offered and should carry out activities that allowed me to evaluate my position and thus offer more encouragement to enter AVAYA. tenia la experiencia de haber trabajado en compañias similares, multinacionales y esto me dio puntos extras. Saber que la cultura de una compañia global afecta a una persona nueva no fue un tropiezo para mi. La experiencia en el mercado y mis cualidades ayudaron para ganar esta posicion.

Interviewed Sep 2011 in Buenos Aires (Argentina) (took 3 weeks)
After being referred, HR contacted me by email to verify data I entered through referral system. Then I was contacted by phone and moved on to a 1 on 1 interview with HR and the regional manager. Once my profile was approved by both of them, an interview with my potential manager was scheduled. However, it was cancelled at the last minute and had to set up a conference call from home with someone else (body language and thorough skill evaluation was not was not performed as a result). Finally, I got a call from HR detailing final proposal.

Interviewed Sep 2011 (took 6 days)
Very thorough and in-depth interview by geographically dispersed interviewers, in office and connected by audio conference; second interview was in a different location - meeting with 3 interviewers. Focus on the knowledge, personal skills and the value that you are bringing to the company.
People are not formalistic and looking for real value and essence, yet very approachable.

Interviewed Jan 2011 (took 2 weeks)
I had applied for a position on their web site and was contacted a few weeks later by a recruiter. I interviewed with her who said that the next steps was an interview with the Director and if I made it past that I would be interviewed by the VP. I talked to the Director next, within a few days and she was great, candid and honest. About a week later I interviewed with the VP, she was honest and straight to the point. I was offered the job about 3 days later.
