Interviewed Jan 2010 in Bloomington, IL (took 5 days)
The interview process was very standard there were no surprises. The process was clearly explained and occurred as expected. The questions asked by HR were essentially verbatim from the 50 best interview questions website. I prepared three scar's (situation, conflict, action, result/resolution) and I was able to apply them to every question that was asked.

Interviewed Feb 2012 (took 4 days)
Very very welcoming and easy to talk to on the phone, yet very much different in person. They asked too much from a candidate, with no for sure guarantee.

Interviewed Feb 2010 (took 4+ weeks)
Company has a decent hiring process. They have a formal process to manage the interview process, and it is well coordinated and planned from the HR recruiter to the hiring manager. They start the hiring process with a phone interview, and if you get past the HR recruiter, you move on to the hiring manager. The questions are pretty varied, but are focused to the job and your personality. No crazy personality type questions.

Negotiation Details
First year is 36k plus commissions to a certain degree. Not sure what the earning potential is for first year. Eventually they phase you off salary and you become independent earning commissions only.

Interviewed Jul 2011 (took 4+ weeks)
From start to finish the process went really well. I was treated with respect and dignity the whole way through. It was broken down into several smaller interviews at various locations. There were a few personality type tests as well as background investigation. They were straight forward about what's expected.

Interviewed Dec 2010 in Bloomington, IL (took 3 months)
The recruiters were very nice and made you feel very comfortable in the interview. My first interview was a 1:1 interview at my University and the second round interview was an office visit in Bloomington where I was interviewed by two people at the same time. The process was not difficult, but took some time to advance in the process.

Slow hiring process so be patient. Salary is not on par with industry so do not expect much negotiation. A lot of contractors so you may be offered an opportunity to come in as an contractor. Do not take on the contractor positions since the money is not good. Be ready to work on older technology.

Interviewed Mar 2011 (took a day)
I applied through a college job board and was called within 2 hours and scheduled an interview for the next day. I met with one agent but there were 4 in the office. The job expectations were high for the $10 per hour rate of pay. The job was advertised as part-time but they wanted a commitment to work up to 40 hours, of course they offered no benefits.

Interviewed Apr 2010 in Arden Hills, MN (took a day)
I went to a career fair in the Spring of 2010 and talked with HR and a peer. I then had a quick phone interview about a month later and an appointment setup for an on-site interview in late April. It consisted of a quick 15-20 minute interview with HR and about a 45 minute long interview with a manager and two experienced developers. One of the developers gave me a quick skills test, very easy if you have taken IT classes. Asking only about what I claimed to know and what applied to the job (Java, VB, SQL). They called me a few days later.
