Interviewed Jan 2012 in Toronto, ON (Canada) (took 2 months)
Although I have only good things to say about Rhoda (outsourced recruiter working for Batesville) I can’t say much for Batesville as a company. I participated in several interviews for the "Sales Director, Canada" position which culminated in a final interview at the beginning of 2012 which required flying to Batesville, Indiana, overnighting, incurring some expenses, and then participating in a 7 ½ hour interview. For the record and from my perspective, the interview went well with no suggestion of any “foot in mouth” scenarios.
Surprisingly, neither the hiring manager (VP of Sales/Tom King) nor the Director of HR (Diane Kinker) ever followed up with any communication to me post final interview. Despite several e-mails and voice messages initiated by me to both individuals, neither ever responded.
I’m all about ensuring a good fit between employee and employer and if I wasn’t the right fit for Batesville, I fully respect that decision. But to never advise a finalist of the decision and to ignore all follow-up communication says something about this company’s core values.

Interviewed Jun 2010 in Atlanta, GA (took a day)
The first interview is a phone interview. After that you may have another phone interview with a regional manager. If you pass that, then you will move on to meet a regional manager. If your initial interviewer and the manager like you, then you go to Batesville, Indiana to meet several executives. At that point, you should get a job offer.

Interviewed May 2010 in Denver, CO (took 3 weeks)
First I had a phone interview that lasted about 20 minutes. The next interview was about 3 weeks later and lasted an hour. The questions asked were not too challenging. After the interview, I contacted the district manager and the regional manager at least 5 times, and they did not have the courtesy to return calls or emails or even thank me for my time even though I was not chosen. I felt that they at least could have let me know my standing instead of leaving me hanging. Good Luck if you interview with these people!

Interviewed Feb 2010 in Batesville, IN (took 3 weeks)
The telephone interview was a combination of questions and information regarding the company. The first interview was with the Director of Talent Acq., brief and informative. The person has a hard sales edge to his presentation of the company. The second interview, also by phone, is recorded by the Director for the Regional VP of Sales.
