Interviewed Apr 2012 (took a day)
I submitted a rough application online. I was contacted about 2 weeks later and the lady asked me general application questions such as prior work experience, questions about my driving record, what others would say about my work ethic, how I heard about the job and why I wanted to work there. It was just like filling out an application, just verbally. I would suggest coming up with good answers before hand as to why you want to work there, and why you want that specific position.

Interviewed Sep 2011 in Mesa, AZ (took 2+ weeks)
I went to the interview and felt it went great. I have almost 20 years experience in the industry and the interviewers even told me I had all of the qualifications. I waited two weeks and got a form e-mail saying they had better qualified candidates for the position.

Interviewed Aug 2011 in Tucson, AZ (took 4 weeks)
Applied online first, then took a couple of tests online, only took about 30 minutes.. I was then contacted for a phone interview, person was really nice and helpful. After that was contacted to go into a one on one interview at the office, interview was straight forward and pleasant. Was told if I was accepted they would send a email out to references and they did, however its been 3 weeks and still haven't heard anything back from dish network. Really hoping to get the position.

Interviewed Jun 2011 in Burleson, TX (took 5 days)
Last week, I had a phone interview that was really laid back and really easy. That led to being scheduled for a one on one interview.
Today was the interview. I was told to show up 15 minutes early to fill out some paper work (never filled any out though). 15 minutes after my interview time I finally had the interview. Common questions that weren't difficult. What made this interview very difficult was the fact that the guy interviewing me said that he was just informed that he had interviews. He said that the people who normally interview weren't available and he was 100% unorganized. He kept getting calls on his phone and at one point left me for 15 minutes to take a call. He seemed like a really nice guy, but I felt like he was just rushing through things to get me out of there. I had a couple of questions to ask based on being told one thing during the phone interview and seeing things in person, but didn't feel like I ever had the opportunity to ask.
He said he was going to talk to the other two guys and I'd get a call in a few days. I'd honestly be surprised if I did. With the lack of organization that seemed to be going on, I wouldn't be shocked if my information got lost.

Interviewed Apr 2011 in Chatsworth, CA (took 4 days)
I applied online in a rather lengthy and confusing process. After I applied about two days later I was called and interviews asking various questions. Mostly about if I could work weekends and handle working outdoors and things like that. After that I went in for a personal interview which took roughly 45 minutes.
Interview Questions
Reason for Declining
I declined because granted the money was decent with good benefits but the actual job would have been unbearable. Be prepared to work a lot and have no time or social life. Listing the reasons why I declined.
-Terrible hours. They told me that I would be working from 8-8 Thursday through Sunday INCLUDING all major holidays. That would mean no family time and no social life and for a single guy in his early 30's that is a deal breaker right there but it gets worse.
-You keep the van. They want you to keep the service van at your house parked in a driveway or in a gated parking spot. I live in an apartment and street park so this is not an option for me.
-Required space. I was told I needed a 6x6 space in my apartment to keep boxes of dishes and cable boxes in at all times. Apparently you go lead up at the warehouse with this stuff then keep it in your house for safekeeping. I as most people do not have that space.
Combine that with climbing roofs and being in constant danger you might as well save yourself the trouble and learn a trade and get paid 3 times that amount.

Interviewed Feb 2011 (took 2 days)
Took nearly an hour. Asked normal questions to be expected during a job interview. Upon completion of interview I was informed that I would hear from H.R. The phone interview took only a few minutes and was pretty laid back and was enjoyable. The application process consisted of a battery of tests and a resume process.
