Interviewed Oct 2011 in Elmhurst, IL (took 2 weeks)
I applied for the job through Careerbuilder and was contacted to take an on-line test.
I took the test and was contacted a few days later that I had passed and set-up an appointment
a week later for an interview. Prior to the interview, I filled-out an online job application
Upon arriving at the interview, I completed some more paperwork and waited about 10 minutes.
I met initially with a zone manager and one of their top sales reps. They were very nice and
I spent approx. an hour talking to them. Upon leaving, the district manager asked if I had time to meet
with him. I agreed. He and another manager interviewed me and their questions were more direct and pointed. At some point, I felt the interview became somewhat hostile and almost rude. It stopped rather abrutly and I left. I decided afterward that this was not the position or company for me.

Interviewed Mar 2011 (took a day)
Interview was casual, laid back. I was told initially that the position was supporting 2 or 3 people. During the interview, I was told it was supporting the entire "team" of the new office.....some 11 people. Once it was known that my work history was supporting one senior high level executive, I could see I was not going to be considered for the job, even though he was impressed with my background. Comcast and NBC Universal had recently merged and I could see from this HR person that
Comcast does not see eye to eye with NBC's culture.

Interviewed Apr 2011 in Englewood, CO (took a day)
The hiring manager called and acted like she didn't want to be bothered with the interview because it was after 5 pm and end of the day. She called and asked me about what wasn't on my resume instead of the experience on my resume. -- Very bizarre. Sounded unprepared for the interview...

Interviewed Aug 2011 in Philadelphia, PA (took 1 week)
Overall, the interview was a waste of 3 hours, but at least emphasized what I already knew walking in -- that I'm not interested in working in a mega corporate environment. The interview was for the vague title of "Engineer'. In reality the position was for a web developer.
I interviewed in-person with each team member. There were four, separate, half-hour interviews.
First I met with the hiring manager, whom while nice, was a little cool and mechanical. She basically wanted to do a re-run of the phone interview. We talked about my education and the position, and she posed very vague and poorly communicated hypotheticals ("what would you do in this scenario"), which I actually had a difficult time answering because I was truly unclear on what she was actually asking.
Then I met with two Indian men. Their accents were very strong, and half the battle was trying to figure out what they were asking me. They asked pretty easy questions, like, what is grep, what is phpinfo(). Again, it was tough for me to understand them, having to ask them to repeat themselves 3 times was embarrassing.
The next man was very surly, and looked down at the desk the entire time he spoke with me. He asked me absolutely bizarre questions, like if I thought comcast was overpriced, and how I would react if I heard on the news that comcast caps bandwidth and is against net neutrality. It was at this point I knew this environment was a terrible fit for me, and considered getting up and leaving. I told him my opinions, which probably determined right then and there whether I'd get the job.
The final interview went fairly well. He asked me a lot of questions about front-end programming, which I was able to answer easily. He again stared at the desk the entire time he talked to me.
A week has passed, I doubt I'll hear back from them. I accepted an offer at a small company near me, where I think I'll be much, much happier in the long-run.

Interviewed Nov 2009 in Lancaster, PA (took a day)
I inititally applied online, received a phone call to schedule an interview within the week. I interviewed onsite with 1 manager and 1 HR rep. They asked a series of questions, left the room for 10 minutes, returned and offered me a job. Luckily I had all my paperwork with me to be processed that day. Once it was all done I was set to start the following week. At the end of the day I was at the interview for 3 hours.

Interviewed Aug 2009 (took 2 weeks)
Recruiter called me. Clearly the recruiter was not in touch with the hiring manager. Almost a crap shoot that they identified me as a candidate for the posted position. Questions were more on when could I start and their immediate need for support. Having intereviewed people and hired people, the interface was more that they determined I was a match for the position and did not know how to conduct a behaviorial interview. I was recruited, not screened other than a drug and background check.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
A good signing bonus. Stock options were standard and are offered by position. Interesting that they were very urgent to get me on board. Once on board it was a struggle to get paid the bonus and the options were difficult to get as their back office process is virtually non-reliable. Seems that the most incompetent people they have are assigned responsibilities for on onboarding new employees. Had problems with people who they relocated that I hired also.

Interviewed Aug 2011 in Alpharetta, GA (took 2 months)
Did phone interview with HR for Sales Supervisor position and face to face interview 2 weeks later with sales director and regional manager. Not sure how it went, but wasn't offered a position immediately. I was told to expect a decision in a week or so since they were still interviewing.
