Interviewed Mar 2012 in Bangalore (India) (took a day)
The interviews are the best at dimension data although when the candidate is being driven through 3 gruesome rounds and after selection, they get the crazy adrenaline of confusion to send the offer letter and almost become invisible when asked for response, especially with the interviewer Manoj.
This is mostly because of the availability of the candidates. Please attend the interviews only if you don't have other companies in the radar.

Interviewed Oct 2011 in Frankfurt am Main (Germany) (took 1 week)
Began with a telephone interview. The team leader who would be my direct supervisor did the initial interview. He was very pleasant on the phone, but also very direct and to the point. He asked the right questions and primarily wanted to get a sense for how I came across on the telephone, since that would be a major part of my duties once with the company. He asked me a few questions about hardware which were designed to test my knowledge and see what sort of IT base I had, and of course took the time to go through my resume experience and get a feel for where I was coming from in previous employment.

Negotiation Details
The budget allowed for the position was revealed to me beforehand by the staffing agency which was representing me (Eurolondon... I highly reccomend them by the way), so I knew what to expect before going into the interview process. For this reason it was very straightforward, I knew what they could afford and asked for what I felt I was worth in relation to that.

Interviewed Jun 2011 in Campbell, CA (took a day)
The interview began with a company overview. Then I was told there would be a series of "behavioral questions." I was asked about how I handled a difficult customer, when a project did not go well, etc. The focus seemed to be on negative things. There were not questions about how I might fit the job or why I wanted to work for this company. I was only given a brief opportunity to ask my questions. At the end, I was told that a decision would be made in 24 to 48 hours. It has been two weeks and no word. The second person was more than a half hour late was disinterested and rushed me out the door.

Interviewed Sep 2010 in Framingham, MA (took a day)
Had a phone screen and the recruiter was obviously working from a script. Very structured - no small talk or ice breaker and just rapid fired questions and didn't seem to be listening to answers. They will have a very difficult time filling the position with this person doing the screening. Terrible experience.

Interviewed Jul 2010 in London, England (United Kingdom) (took 2 days)
Initially, they used an agency to conduct a phone interview with candidates, addressing some competency questions. Having passed that hurdle, 52 (!) candidates attended an assessment centre which involved typical group exercises (you're stranded in a desert, what objects should we take?) as well as 3 minute individual presentations and - a lot - of waiting. The agency (a subsidiary of Randstad) clearly treated candidates like idiots, reminding us to wear a suit and shake hands and kept calling to check you knew what you were meant to be doing. They were very keen to make sure you would take a potential offer and no flexibility whatsoever regarding the starting date.
Following this day there was an assessment centre at Dimension Data itself with the 18 best candidates, which was run in a much better fashion. This was at their office in Fleet, and involved group presentations, a written exercise as well as individual interviews. They said they'd pay for travel to their offices but I still haven't received the money!

Interviewed Jan 2010 in Framingham, MA (took 2 months)
The whole process was professional from beginning to end. Shortly after I applied, I received an e-mail and a phone call from an HR representative inviting me to an interview. The HR representative was very courteous, professional, and very persistent in trying to reach me (not an easy task).
The first interview was very pleasant and professional. It was more of collaborated discussion than a one way conversation. The interviewer was the hiring VP who was very competent in the domain. She was mostly interested in my background, experiences, and what do I know about the company. The second interview with the manager being replaced was also very pleasant and professional. In addition to a collaborated discussion it also focused on experiences and handling of situations in the previous jobs.
Although I got a sense that employee’s work very hard and there are challenges, it did not surprise me. Where can you work today with no challenges? I was especially interested in the company culture since I am looking to leave my current employer with its rigid and hierarchical structure and the culture that goes along with it. It would have been more helpful to me to have exposure to company culture by talking with others. Unfortunately, I was not selected for the job or presented with an offer, however, at least the HR representative followed up with an email letting me know. If DD makes sure to follow up with candidates regardless of whether they got the position or not, it means to me that they care and pay attention to details.
I will not hesitate to apply again to a similar position if one opens up.
