Interviewed Nov 2010 in Washington, DC (took 2 days)
- Applied using LinkedIn
- Got a call back within 48 hours for a phone screen with HR (HR seemed very organized and on point. The representative on the phone was very pleasant.)
- Phone interview with hiring manager followed
- Had 5 in-person interviews (2 case interviews and 3 behavioral with individuals from different departments. Some interviews were more like conversations that question/answer session that I expected. The interview with the VP was very rushed and he seemed to just be checking if he liked me or not and not necessarily checking on my skill sets. )
- It took them a long time to schedule the in person interviews and then come back with an offer.
Reason for Declining
Position paid too low
Other Details

Interviewed Jun 2011 (took a day)
The interview process was thorough. I first did phone interviews with the recuiter then the hiring manager. Once onsite, I spent 4 hours in 1:1 interviews with members of the senior leadership team. The questions were engaging and were what I anticipated for the position I was applying for.
Negotiation Details
Fair. The recruiting representative provided a fair and balanced approach to the negotiation.
Other Details
I got the interview through an Employee Referral and the interview consisted of a Phone Interview, a 1:1 Interview and a Group/Panel Interview.

Interviewed Aug 2011 in Washington, DC (took a day)
Recruiter was quick to give me a call after I submitted my resume. We chatted a few days later, and he set up a call with the manager of the team I'd be working on. The manager told me I'd be interviewing for a different position, but it still sounded interesting to me. When I got to the interview (at 8:30 am, a little early in my opinion), the doors were locked, and nobody was staffing the front desk. I interviewed with a total of 5 people-- the manager, the VP and three team members. There was definite confusion about what position I was interviewing for, and it seems it hadn't been communicated to all my interviewers that the manager was interviewing me for position X instead of position Y. The recruiter never followed up with me after the interview, which I always find immensely disappointing. It takes less than 30 seconds to make a phone call, or shoot out an email; it's professional courtesy. When I followed up with him two weeks after the interview, he told me something along the lines of a lot of the team members were on vacation, as if they waited two weeks to file their interview reports. Overall, what started out as an exciting, intriguing opportunity ended disappointingly, with confusion at the interview, and no follow-up from the company.

Interviewed Dec 2010 in Washington, DC (took a day)
After poor communication from the HR representative, I was finally able to obtain enough information about the job/company and decided to come into their main office for an interview. The interview lasted 4 hours, of which I met with several different people and discussed the same few items on my resume. It seemed like the people I would be working with (or under) had a different description of the job that I had originally been told over the phone. As I was getting ready to leave the 4 hour "speed date" I noticed the HR person, who was supposed to walk me out had forgotten about me and was heading out for lunch. Luckily someone grabbed him. I never heard back from the company. NOTHING, even after e-mailing the HR person several times. I think that is absolutely unacceptable and rude. How hard is it to just send an e-mail or pick-up the phone. Looking back, I think I dodged a bullet. None of the people I interviewed with seemed all that happy there.

Interviewed Jul 2010 in San Francisco, CA (took a day)
(This is for their mobile division in San Francisco) Got the interview from their recruiter. Went into their HQ for a 2-hour interview meeting 3 people. Chatted with manager for 30 minutes. Just talk about what I have done and the people they are looking for. 2nd person is a web engineer. Asked me a few technical questions and I answered correctly for most. 3rd person is a client manager. Chatted about the role and had opportunity to ask her about different aspects of the role. Lastly I was given 3 questions basically asking me to draft 3 emails to different client situations.
I was feeling very confident after the interview. However the recruiter called me the next day saying they feel I don't have enough communication skills for the post.
