Interviewed Jan 2010 in Home, KS (took 2 weeks)
Contacted by an internal recruiter and passed through initial phone screen - went very well, passed on the next step. Second interview (also phone) was with a Practice/Consulting Manager (not the hiring manager), which consisted of review of applicable background and experience (good, in-depth questions) - went very well, passed on to next step. Following the second interview was asked by the recruiter to complete a case study consisting of putting together a project plan and associated materials, and would discuss case study with another Practice/Consulting Manager. Worked very hard (weekend) in completing an in-depth, thoughtful, detailed plan inclusive of deliverables. Reviewed the materials with the third Manager..."thought" went very well as well. After a week received a voice mail from the recruiter they had selected another candidate. Left a very professional message for the recruiter seeking feedback, played one round of voice mail and the recruiter sent me a time they would be available. Attempted to contact at that time, with again no luck. Didn’t want to fall into the “people who don’t get the hint” category…so let it drop. Overall…a poor process, recruiters should learn by just doing the right thing it would make then stand out so much from their peers, as well as reflect better on the organization. Oh, position is still posted three months later.

Interviewed Nov 2009 in Charleston, SC (took a day)
I was interviewed by someone in HR and the person leaving the position. I thought the interview went very well but was not called back for a second interview after being asked in an email to fill out the background paperwork "before my second interview." Go figure. I know I don't have a record or anything so I never knew the reason behind the change. I came from a government background so I know my background is clean! I was asked to come up with a series of emails to send to various employees asking for their help. I guess anything beats the 3 hour test they used to ask people to do.

Interviewed Mar 2007 (took a day)
Phone interview with multiple people. Very difficult to answer people over the phone who didn't always identify who they were when they were asking questions.
Reason for Declining
The culture. Their mascot is a PIRATE for goodness sake. The company attitude supports that as well. Some might find it charming but I was disconcerted by the image, personally. Very male-dominated environment.

Interviewed Jan 2007 (took 2 weeks)
It was a great interview. I was asked the standard interview questions about strengths and weaknesses, how previous experience related to the position I was applying for. They gave me more details about the company and talked about the company's culture, etc. Overall, just prepare well as you would for any interview.
