Interviewed Feb 2012 (took 1 week)
Did a phone interview, working interview (observation). Was told I'd know the following week, got the offer a few days later.
Background check & drug test, started the week after those were done and the results were given back to the employer.
Very laid back. Didn't get asked the typical, What are your strengths or weaknesses bs. Lol. Was focused on what I knew, what I had to offer, length of time I wanted to stay at banfield.
I did do my research and it isn't the best paying job to start off with, and it is a very stressful job. The few hours I was there it was very busy, but I like busy! I'd rather be meeting with all the different patients then sitting around waiting for them.
I wasn't offered the job right away so I did stress about it, but in the end I did get it! :)

Interviewed Apr 2012 (took 3 weeks)
I was called in by Banfield for a panel interview for a Practice Manager position. The field director was extremely disorganized and did not provide detailed directions on where the interview would take place (in an industrial warehouse) as he had said he would do. I was extremely lucky that I got there with a lot of time to spare.
The panel interview went well. It was over 1 hour in length, and the field directors as well as practice managers sitting in on the interview were very professional and friendly. After the panel interview, one of the field directors continued to have communication with me. Despite their extreme disorganization and lack of communication amongst each other, I was able to observe in one of the hospitals as well as have a second informal interview with one of the Medical Directors.
Salary was discussed, and I was told they would be determining which location I would be most successful in. At this point, I expected an offer to be made soon. This process took about 3 weeks. I continued to follow up with the field director. She would continue to say that things were being worked out, and she would contact me as soon as possible. Shortly after, she stopped responding to my e-mails and phone calls.
I am very happy now that this position did not work out for me. I do not want to be a part of an organization that is so unorganized and unprofessional. If Banfield decided to go with someone else for this position, the field director should have had the professionalism and courtesy to tell me so, instead of saying she would call me after a meeting, but never doing so....
I can tell that the work culture at Banfield is stressful. I could tell immediately that you are expected to be at work at any time, even on your off days. They identified the importance of a work/life balance, except I did not see that in any of their own lives at all!
I wish that I wouldn't have devoted as much time to this process as I did.

Interviewed Feb 2012 (took 2 weeks)
When I arrived at the interview the field trainer was there but didn't have time to meet with me. I met with the Vet. The interview went well, the Dr. was very nice lot of questions/ answers. The center was very busy and disorganized. We met in the surgical room, the co2 machine was still on. After the interview the Vet said a decision will be made next week. One day later I received an email stating another person was selected. I already had a feeling they choose someone already based on the disorganization of communication and the hospital itself. If the field trainer can not agree to meet me at the time she promised her boss, she was on site, that was a clear sign they have no respect.

Interviewed Aug 2011 in Bellevue, WA (took 3+ weeks)
The interview process was longer than I thought it would be. You have to take a urine drug test, which was incredibly awkward. DONT drink too much coffee, water, or juice! Takes several calls to get a result given. A call asking you to begin working takes around 1 week after results are in.

Negotiation Details
There is no negotiation. They say that compensation is equal to other hospitals in surrounding area. Not really true. You just get the minimum to start with.

Interviewed Sep 2011 in Aurora, IL (took 5 days)
I was initially given a phone interview from their corporate location, then asked to meet with another practice manager and a veterinarian in person at another location (not where I would be working). Upon arrival I was asked to fill out an application which took 15 minutes but waited on a bench for another 30 minutes. The interview lasted an hour, and included several 2 - 3 part scenarios which they wanted specific examples for each one. They were very professional, very nice and informative about the company. After the interview they gave me a tour of the hospital but did not introduce me to any of the other employees. The in-person interview process lasted about 2.5 hours and they told me they would let me know either way by the following Wednesday as they had several other interview over the weekend. I did not hear from them.

Interviewed Sep 2010 (took a day)
I interviewed with the Office Manager and the doctor who was serving as chief of staff. We sat in one of the exam rooms and they gave me a quick run down on the job responsibilities and the company itself. They asked me a few basic questions and pretty much made the job offer then and there.

Negotiation Details
I sent emails back and forth to the manager to negotiate my wage, because I wanted the amount in writing. I was given a basic pay range and I asked for the highest offered hourly rate and the manager didn't seem to have any qualms about accepting my request.

Interviewed Aug 2011 (took 1+ week)
The phone interview took about forty minutes and included a general background and behavioral based interview questions. The interview itself was before a panel of three held in a hotel. I drove to this location and, aside from a snafu with the location, the logistics of it all went well.The test you take beforehand was harder than I expected it to be, especially on the math questions. It included some typical personality questions but also had math and english questions that surprised me and encouraged me at the same time. I felt as though the interviewers were very genuine and the questions were fair. I left feeling very optimistic that I would receive an offer and was disappointed that I did not. I contacted the recruiter via email several days later to confirm my suspicion that they had chose someone else.

Interviewed Jun 2011 in Raleigh, NC (took 3 days)
You are brought in for a group interview, you watch a short presentation, fill out a short questionaire, have a group role play situation, have a one on one interview. If this goes well you are emailed a survey that will take about an hour or so to complete. That is forward to a store's hiring manager. Then there is a 4 hour observation at the store. If an offer is to be extended you will go for a drug test and have a background check. Paper work is filled out and then there is a training period for a certain amount of time.
