Interviewed Mar 2012 (took 3 days)
The lead developer was very pleasant and the technical screeing was fair and relevant. The in-person interview with the newly appointed CIO was awkward. The random questions and one-sided dialogue made it difficult to identify the expectations for the role and in the end, arrogance prevailed.

Interviewed Aug 2011 in Savannah, GA (took 4+ weeks)
This position was advertised on the radio so I sent my resume and cover letter to their recruiter who was able to answer all of my questions and help prepare me for the first one-on-one interview. During that interview I was asked generic questions like "How would you rate your success in radio ad sales?" and "What do you know about our company?", etc. During the interview you are given a skills test and five minutes to complete it. Most of the questions are pretty easy like "what's the higher value, 1/2 or .33?" I was told I did well on the test, even though I skipped three questions because they were long. I was also told the interview went well and that I'd move on to another interview before I went on to train for the position.
Unfortunately, the person who interviewed me first left the job before I could get to the second interview so it was done by his replacement, who actually thought he was interviewing me for the administrative assistant position (receptionist/secretary) and not ad sales. He told me that the position I wanted had been filled between that time and my first interview and continued to try to convince me to take the administration job. I accepted, as it would at least allow me to move up in the company, but was not even hired in the end.

Interviewed Jan 2011 (took 2 days)
Phone interview was professional yet informal. Sales manager was informative, easy to talk to and open to questioning. There is definitely a learning curve for applicants who are new to media sales, but the company provides good tools and resources. The only negative aspect to the face to face interview was an IQ/Intelligence test that was given at the very beginning. It is unexpected and could potentially unhinge applicants who do not score well.
