Interviewed Feb 2011 in Norcross, GA (took 2 days)
The interview process was awesome. They did not just test things I memorized but my intelligence. They asked me to solve 3 puzzle like programming questions. There were like 7 people in each of 3 sessions I was involved in. It seemed a bit much at first but later made me assure they indeed value who they select.

Interviewed Sep 2011 in Norcross, GA (took a day)
I was invited to attend a mixer to network with CareerBuilder staff managers, employees and potential employees. The atmosphere was very casual. From that process I met employees who referred me to the Hiring Manager at Personified (subsidiary of CareerBuilder). He referred my resume to a Recruiter who phoned me for the interview.

Interviewed Apr 2011 in Norcross, GA (took 2 weeks)
A hiring consultant did a phone screening, which was difficult to judge if I did well on. A week later I came in for a formal interview by two different team leads. I had a couple simple whiteboard programming questions (greatest sum, and string reversal) and one more difficult one (multi threading and load splitting) which I didnt know the complete answer to. I was then invited to come back by one of the team leads to interview with the members of the team. They were very nice and asked basic personality questions. I was impressed with how smart they were and their dress attire, which was basically jeans, a tshirt, and flipflops on one. After that interview i was called back and asked when i wanted to start.

Interviewed Mar 2011 in Norcross, GA (took 2 weeks)
Initially I had a phone interview with a young lady that went very well. The phone interview went so well in fact that I was then scheduled for a face-to-face interview with the Branch Manager. After the phone interview I was very excited and was looking forward to the face-to-face interview. Can you say, "ALL DOWN HILL FROM THERE?" Guy walks in, doesn't ask for my resume, and doesn't bring one in with him. Can anybody else see the handwriting on the wall? Guy was a strong A type personality - director. After I spoke for about 10 minutes, he basically told me that my manage style "collaborator, team focused" was not a good management style for CareerBuilder. I was apparently too soft, liked people too much...believed in working with my sales team to achieve our goals. Now, I don't believe that A-type personalities are good or bad. Do what works for you, do what gets results. But there is more than one way to skin a cat and more than one management style that gets results. But I digress.
His comment spoke volumes, to me, about the company culture in that office. But, if you read the employee post, on this site, many of their complaints are tied to this very issue. Apparently only Director type management works or is accepted at CareerBuilder (Norcross, GA). Now I know the psychology...people like to hire people who remind them of themselves and since I didn't LOOK, think or manage like this guy, I was a dead man talking. Plus he stated that he had another guy who already worked there that was his best candidate. (Probably LOOKS like him, and thinks like him). Fellow job seekers this interview was a bad joke...and I wasted a perfectly good morning.
FINAL THOUGHTS: A good career opportunity not only has to be a good fit for the company, but it also has to be a good fit for the potential candidate.

Interviewed Sep 2010 in Atlanta, GA (took 2 weeks)
So far I have only done the first round with the internal recruiter (over the phone). The second round has been scheduled and will be a second phone interview with one of the sales managers. The first one was over an hour and I thought it was a little excessive in length and detail. I think I will decline moving forward as the salary is rather low ($35k) for a "senior" position.
