Interviewed Jun 2011 in Boston, MA (took 2 weeks)
Overall good experience with the interview even though I didn't get the position. I was a little underqualified for the role and was told I need to work on my interview skills. Had 2 phone interviews, then was brought in for a face to face meeting. The company seems like a good place to work. Young, fresh, innovative & current.

Interviewed Jun 2011 (took a day)
Interviewer was not interested in my expertise, credentials or career goals. Seem only to want to hear me up-sell the company to him, and tell him how I've always wanted to work at Carbonite. I had only recently heard of Carbonite because they had moved their operations to Maine about a month or two before I applied there. And although I had applied specifically for a TECHNICAL customer support position, he proceeded to tell me that if those positions were no longer available, I would be hired for the basic customer support; i. e. helping customers with billing and selling Carbonite's services. When I told him that a sale position was not what I applied for, the interviewer got huffy with me.
My favorite part of the interview was how the interviewer asked me this question:
"I have 700 applicants to interview today. Why should you be considered over them?"
Definitely a waste of a 20-25 minute phone conversation.
