Interviewed Dec 2011 in Melville, NY (took 3 days)
Thorough interview with a decent amount of questions regarding my resume
Boss had a good sense of humor as well as concern for where I personally see myself in a certain amount of years
A few days later had to give a sales pitch which was more of a role play between the two of us on setting up an appointment

Interviewed Feb 2011 in King of Prussia, PA (took a day)
Received notification from a friend who is an employee regarding the position. Submitted resume and got a phone interview 2 weeks later. The phone interview was very brief and offered very little insight as to what the manager was looking for. I believe there was an internal candidate and the manager was going through the motions. I had to press to find out why the position was open and the manager agreed that my qualifications were sufficent for the position.

Interviewed Dec 2009 in Syracuse, NY (took a day)
The senior manager knew of my previous employer and what was expected and accomplished there. They needed a few more reps and I had experience in the industry working in NYC, which carried a lot of weight. I felt going in that it was mine to lose. Interviewed briefly by the local and regional manager, then offered the position.

Interviewed Oct 2010 in New York, NY (took 3 weeks)
Broadview Networks is not Verizon. By a long stretch.
I had a number of years in telecomm and was working for a third-party company before going on a recommended interview at Broadview Networks in NY. Initially, the managers I met with were good, although we were hitting some barriers on compensation, Broadview's reputation for sometimes less than satisfactory customer service/ issue resolution, and reasons for high employee turnover. But I still was interested in finding out for myself whether those were valid concerns. After a meeting or two, they escalated me to an interview with a district manager.
At that point, things became worse. The DM began to discuss a different position with me that was significantly less responsibility and compensation than the one that had been initially proposed- and less in both respects than my current job at the other company. I asked about the other position, and he was very dismissive, expressing a "we're interviewing you for this position and no other" message. His tone and attitude were very unprofessional and condescending. I never heard back from him or Broadview, not even to decline to further consider me as a candidate. I finally spoke to one of the original managers who apologized to me.
Had that last interview not happened, I probably would not have accepted a job at Broadview Networks, however, I would have been left with more of a neutral "not the right fit" feeling, rather than a negative outlook.
