Interviewed Apr 2012 in Mesa, AZ (took 1+ week)
First step was an over the phone interview that happened maybe 4 days after the online application was placed. This was a VERY typical interview. Questions asked were: what do you know about the company? Can you give me a brief tour of your resume? Why are you interested in working for drivetime?
The entire phone interview took approximately 15min primary just to weed out those that can make themselves look good on paper, but really are unqualified.
About 2 days later an in person interview was scheduled. I went to the interview and the HR recruiter told me a great deal about drivetime, then asked if i had any questions. I asked simple questions about site location, benefits, and hours... After that we were done. There were LITERALLY NO INTERVIEW QUESTIONS. I have 4 years of recruiting experience and have never even heard of much less experienced an interview where no questions were asked...
I don't know if this is standard practice, if they already decided on someone but still had to interview me, or if in some way they didn't like my physical appearance (i am older then the interviewer) ... But this just struck me and VERY unprofessional.
I will not apply again, nor accept if they contact me later on wanting another interview.

Interviewed Apr 2012 in Charleston, SC (took a day)
About a month after I filled out the application, I get a call from a recruiter who did a phone interview and asked pretty basic questions. She scheduled a face to face interview. When I got to the interview, the guy says he didn't even know he was supposed to interview anyone. The interview itself was laid back and he seemed like a nice guy. Two days later, I get an email saying I didnt have the experience they were looking for and they are pursuing other candidates. Why did they bother calling me for an interview? They saw my resume and knew what experience I had. People need jobs badly and these recuiters need to stop wasting our time and getting our hopes up for jobs they know all along we arent going to get.

Interviewed Feb 2012 in Phoenix, AZ (took 5 days)
After a person from HR contacted me to set up an interview, I had a phone screen with a Business Analyst that lasted about an hour. He asked me about my experience working on projects at other jobs, Agile, and how I handled different situations. Two days later, HR called me to set up an in-person interview the following week with multiple people. She said they get who is available so couldn't give me names ahead of time.
The following week I met with the same BA I had spoken to over the phone plus a Project Manager in a conference room. The PM asked me to go over my background since she hadn't spoken to me before, then got into specific questions on projects, as well as things to see if I'd fit into their culture, like how I best like to communicate. The interview lasted a little under an hour. As the HR person led me out, she said I would be contacted in two days with the outcome.

Interviewed Mar 2011 in Phoenix, AZ (took 3 days)
I submitted my resume to the recruiter. The next day I got called in for an interview. The recruiter and 3 others from the department interviewed me. Went through my resume and asked specific questions about parts of it. Mostly behavioral questions. The questions were pretty much the same as you would expect from any other place.

Interviewed Apr 2011 in Phoenix, AZ (took 3 days)
Interviewed & asked around. Received a call to schedule a phone interview. Then was asked to come in for a one on one. It took about 3 hours with the 1:1, drug test, panel interview, skills test. The people were nice, culture seemed fresh. Formerly Ugly Duckling.

If you are considering this company don't put all your eggs in one basket, do some comparison shopping prior to going in. This company changes a lot. If that makes you a little scared, ask around and read online reviews before you interview. I would also recommend looking at a few others prior to this one.

Interviewed Nov 2010 in Phoenix, AZ (took 3 weeks)
I had to proceed through no less than 6 interviews before finally receiving an offer. Everyone was very welcoming though and their excitement about working there was honestly quite infectious. Still, the sheer number of meetings prior to their decisions (which is mostly based on culture-fit) drove my wife to ask "are they serious or just messing around"?

Negotiation Details
I came in looking for an entry level job but was deemed over-qualified and offered a better one. Unfortunately that put me in a poor bargaining position with regard to salary since I already indicated I was willing to work for less.

DT uses different people randomly to gauge how you will fit inside the company. It's more a personality than qualifications that they are looking for.

Interviewed Apr 2011 in Jacksonville, FL (took a day)
This Company does not know how to hire qualified personnel. I supposed to have a interview with some guy, but they never showed up, instead I had one with the GM. He was his hispanic and I didn't understand much of his accent. He was not even prepared just a few pieces of paper from my online application. He told me about drive time how they work and operate. I ask me a few interview questions and about my last job. He told me the kind of candidate he is looking for, not the old type of salesmen, but a new way of selling. The job requires you to gets sales leads from the internet. 8am to 8pm the store hours are. I was told I have to work the store hours 6 days a week only sunday off if was offered the job. The GM told me he been with drive time 2 years. After the interview I was told that somone from HR will have a interview with me in the soon. I waited 10 min. Then the GM came by and told me HR will call me sometime soon for another interview. No one called that day or the next 2 days. I called back to the GM and he said they are just busy with interviews. I guess I am getting the run around. So don't bother to guess if you get the job or not. If they are interested in you they would give 2 interviews and drug test then wait to to see.
