Interviewed Jan 2012 in El Segundo, CA (took a day)
Interviewed with the person who would have been my manager. She asked lots of questions and was not very personable. Actually rather confrontational. Interviewed with two would-be peers. One was rather friendly, the other reserved and apprehensive. They were very focused on the details of my prior experience, which I felt was the wrong approach for a job that requires a broad set of skills, including basics like intelligence and people skills. Details about a job can be learned, especially by someone who has the ability to learn quickly.

Interviewed Nov 2011 (took a day)
I applied for this position on their web site and was later contacted by a recruiter who phone screened me. He was very personable and easy to talk with. After we talked he suggested that I would be a good fit for the position and should talk with the hiring manager.
A few days later I recieved a phone call from another Area Sales Director...not the hiring manager. He conducted another phone interview with me and told me that the hiring ASD would be in touch soon. It's been over a month and no response.
TOTAL LACK OF PROFESSIONALISM in not following up with prospective candidates...even if they didn't want to pursue me, they should've called me back to let me know that!

Interviewed Oct 2011 in Manteca, CA (took 3 days)
I was asked the same questions each time during each interview (3 total). I felt it to be redundant, especially when one of the interviewers was present at 2 of 3 of the interviews. And then they filled the position with someone wanting to transfer locations and I was not offered the newly opened position. Which, being unemployed for a while, I would have happily accepted. I was also almost discriminated against because I was "over qualified". I understand a company doesn't HAVE to hire you if you're over qualified, but with the unemployment rate that it is today, company's should almost expect that.

Interviewed Oct 2011 in El Segundo, CA (took 2 weeks)
Was contacted through recruiting agency who set up initial phone interview within 9 days. The face to face interview was then scheduled 5 days later. Phone interview questions consisted of confirming project management experience per the resume. Face to face interview was a panel interview and consisted of questions on conflict management.

Interviewed Aug 2011 (took a day)
I received an email from an internal recruiter around one month after applying for the position online stating that he would like to schedule a phone interview. I replied to his email and we spoke the following day. From the beginning of our call I thought this recruiter came across as “course” in his manners and somewhat unprofessional. The recruiter wanted to call me back a second time and before our call was to occur I sent him a polite email stating I was no longer interested in pursuing the opportunity.
His behavior along with the same jobs with this company being advertised across every Internet job board over and over again (BIG red flag!) allowed me to easily make my decision to stay away from these people.

Interviewed Aug 2011 in El Segundo, CA (took 1 week)
I applied on line through a job board. The HR representative was terrific - set a phone interview via email with in 24 hours. The phone interview took place the following day. We have a terrific conversation. Both of us asked many relevant questions. She gave me very honest and intelligent descriptions of the competitive work place, typical work environment challenges and opportunities, as well as candidly responding to my question of why the position was open, 'that the previous person didn't quite work out'. I really appreciated the sincerity and felt respected through out the interview. Upon ending the conversation, she told me that she'd get back to me with in at most a week to talk about next steps if we went forward. She did, telling me they'd filled the position. I thanked her and asked her to keep me in mind for the future. Her response was warm and affirmative. I wish more interviews, hirings, and even rejections were as professional as this experience.

Interviewed Mar 2011 (took 4 days)
I started off doing a phone interview with a person in the HR department. She asked me the typical questions about my past work experience and why I chose DIRECTV. At the end of the interview she said she would schedule a phone interview with the person I would be working under. I had a phone interview with this person a day or two later. She just asked me some basic questions to try to get to know me better, told me about what she did and what I'd be doing in the internship. At the end, she said she'd be in touch. I got a call a few hours later from the HR person I'd originally interviewed with offering me the job.
Negotiation Details
Seeing as I was an intern with basically no experience, there was no negotiation. They told me what my pay would be and I accepted.
