Interviewed Sep 2011 in Boston, MA (took 2 months)
I was originally contacted by HR via phone for a 20 minute phone interview. The following week, I completed a content analysis - which they use to see if you are actually capable of doing the work. Approximately two weeks after that, I had 1 on 1 interviews with four team members. Then, finally, two weeks after the I had to return to give a presentation and Q&A session in front of a panel, which was followed by a 1 on 1 with a CS VP.

Interviewed Aug 2011 in Watertown, MA (took 3 weeks)
The interview process was extensive, but fair. After applying, I was contacted by HR. I went in for three interviews with three different people at various levels. Everyone was very friendly and honest about the expectations and work culture. After this, I had to complete an analysis test. I analyzed data and wrote a report on it. After they reviewed this, then I had to create a business presentation and go back in one more time to present it to a panel of employees. Although the process seemed intimidating at first, it was enjoyable since it allowed me to prove my capabilities aside from talking.

Interviewed Jan 2011 in Watertown, MA (took 3 weeks)
I recently applied for a Community Manager position at Communispace. The process was demanding but thorough. It also gives you a clear idea about the company’s expectations and the kind of work you’ll be doing.
In my case, I had to go through three rounds. The first was a set of three half-hour interviews. The second involved a take-home test (a content analysis). And the third was a live presentation on a business topic.
We’ve all been told we are under-qualified or “don’t have enough experience” for a job when, in reality, we know we could do it quite well. This decision is usually—and somewhat arbitrarily—based on the dates of employment on a resume. Communispace, though, makes prospective employees do the job before actually getting hired.
It’s a tough process, but it’s truly best for everyone. You get a fair chance to prove yourself, and the company can base its choice on valid criteria.
If it weren’t for the content analysis or the presentation, I honestly don’t think I would have been hired. Sure, I have marketing experience, but my resume doesn’t scream consumer insight. But I was offered the chance to prove that my aptitudes make up for my experience.
Interview questions were definitely fair. They don’t try to trick you or throw you off—they just want to see how you think and solve problems. I was never asked, “Try to sell this pen to me.” That’s just awkward and generally unnecessary.
Apparently, a lot of prospects drop out when they hear about steps two and three. This weeds out the people who aren’t willing to go above and beyond.
Last but not least, HR is always in touch with you. They aren’t cryptic about the process. When I got the results for my test, they gave me constructive feedback. I then applied this feedback to my presentation (the third and final step).
Bottom line: The interview process is not easy but I found it to be a welcome challenge. They actually let you prove yourself. And, if you’re not up for an intense interview process, that’s probably a sign.

Interviewed Dec 2010 in Watertown, MA (took 2 months)
The interview process was relatively intense and consisted of three phases:
1). Phone interview with HR
2). 1st round of interviews in-person with three people
3). 2nd round of interviews in-person with three people
It was a mix of high and mid level people doing the interviewing; questions were thoughtful and intelligent. It felt like they were taking the process seriously.
HR was honest with me after step #3 and said that they felt I was overqualified for the position and would get bored and leave. While I believe the impression was inaccurate (if I wasn't very interested in the job, I certainly wouldn't have spent an additional three hours for a second round of in-person interviews; I have a secure job now and don't NEED employment elsewhere), it's hard to fault the process that Communispace used.
