Interviewed Jan 2012 (took a day)
A repersenative called to talk about the position and some basic information and to set up an interview. Went to the interview and was asked basic questions about my resume, background, and some situation questions and how I handled them. Simple interview and was told at the end that they would call in 24 hours but never did. the job is a cold B2B sales job wanting tons of driving and cold sales to businesses.

Interviewed Aug 2011 in Los Angeles, CA (took 2 days)
I sent my resume to one of my friends who had worked for Cbeyond in the past. The NEXT day I got a call from a recruiter who was extremely friendly. The phone interview lasted 15 minutes and was a general overview of my resume. After that I had an in person interview with the recruiter.

Interviewed Sep 2011 in Santa Clara, CA (took 3 days)
A day in the life, walking door to door into crazy places selling marginal VOIP services. My day was 90* outside and I was full suit sweating my ass off, not for me. The Manager wanted me bad, but they want everyone bad.

Reason for Declining

Interviewed Oct 2011 in Seattle, WA (took 4 days)
Cbeyond's interview process is surprisingly extensive, given the companies high turn-around and employee retention rate. It began with a phone call which lasted approximately 15 minutes. In this call the job is described and defined. You'll "walk through" your resume with the recruiter and at the end of the call you'll be asked to come into the office for an in-person interview. Following the in person interview with another recruiter, you'll have an in person interview with a team lead, a job shadow with another employee, and a final interview with the VP of your branch. There are five steps from first call to job offer, making for an extensive interview process.
Interview Questions
Reason for Declining
The job is all about getting to every door in your territory. I felt more like a solicitor and less like a competent person. The office is great and the energy is infectious, so declining was a tough decision.

Interviewed Mar 2011 in Marietta, GA (took 4+ weeks)
I interviewed with a corporate recruiter several times over the phone. I must say they're corporate reciters are very kind and actually follow up with you.
I finally came in for a face to face interview. On the day of this interview I interviewed with two floor managers and the Director. they asked me the typical questions: 'What in your greatest strength/weakness '. They asked me very basic technical questions. Anyone with a CCNA and a little practice could easily answer these questions. The whole process took about 1 month.

Interviewed Jul 2011 in San Diego, CA (took 1 week)
At first everything was really great. I applied online then spoke to the branch recruiting manager, in which he offered me an in person interview. That interview was easy. I went through a total of 5 interviews. First the Recruiting Manager, then the Territory Manager, then the Field Ride, Market Director, then finally the VP. If you don't like the field ride, then you're not cut out for the job. I was fine with the field ride everything went really well. I was excited to finally get an offer from Cbeyond! But then everything went downhill. It is a driving position and it does say you have to have a satisfactory driving record. Well I had a reckless driving which is a pretty big offense but not as severe as a DUI. I was pushed by the Recruiting Manager to put in my notice at my previous job but I wanted to make sure I would be okay with my Reckless Driving. This had been on my application all along but no one had said anything. I was verballly confirmed I would be completely fine, no worries with my Reckless Driving. So I quit my other job. Then two days before I was supposed to start, they called and said that I couldn't start with them due to the Reckless Driving. Of course I was furious. It's very unprofessional to tell someone they will be fine with their background when in reality, they weren't. Everyone seemed to really like me, they talked it up as if I was a "slam dunk" for them. I was the best. But in reality, no one called to apologize to what happened to me, only my friend that worked there. To Cbeyond, you're just another number. They can replace you in a matter of seconds. They are always hiring cause someone either quit or gets fired. I'm glad I didn't end up working for this company.
