Interviewed Nov 2011 (took 4+ weeks)
I interviewed at a college recruiting event. Then I got a call back about a month later to have another interview over the phone. After that interview they told me I would have another interview from a manager in a week but they never called back. They were all very nice to me at each of the interviews but I wonder how come it is takes months to call back.

Interviewed Nov 2011 (took a day)
Was offered a telephone interview two days in advance of the interview date. Phone promptly rang at the agreed-upon time and an HR representative introduced herself and explained how long the call would take (30 mins) and what would take place. She proceeded to ask me a series of standard interview questions...a Google search for "Top 20 Interview Questions" will give you all you need. Although I did a lot of company research, no questions were asked of me where I could show off what I knew. Questions were followed by a very thorough description of what the job would entail, benefits, advancement opportunities, training details, etc. I was told I could expect to hear back within the next week or two as to whether I will be moving forward in the hiring process.

Interviewed Sep 2011 (took 5 weeks)
I applied online through a job search engine and was called within a few days by HR to set up a phone interview. I completed the phone interview with the HR representative within a week of applying. It took three to four weeks before I was called back to schedule an in-person 1:1 interview. The 1:1 interview was more about learning about the position rather than doing much talking. The final round was a ride-along experience with one of the representatives in the field to see how the work is actually done. I was advised that asking questions during the ride-along was good and showed that you are interested in the position.

Interviewed Jan 2010 (took 6 months)
My first interview was a phone interview with the HR recruiter from Ecolab. My next interview was with the VP of Sales for the West Region and the Southwest District Manager. I had a second interview with the VP of Sales for the West Region and the Southwest District Manager. Then I had to wait 3 months before being called. Then I was asked to complete at 500 question personality and aptitude test, which consisted of college level math problems as well. I was also asked to complete a writing assignment, which had me describe previous sales success. This was a lengthy writing assignment.
Ecolab then flew me to Las Vegas and had me interview with the General Manager of Sales, the Vice President of U.S. sales, the Vice President of Corporate Accounts and a Corporate Accounts Manager. Then I was asked to walk a trade show for their industry.
I was then asked to complete a drug test, background check and a physical. I met all requirements and was finally offered a job as a Senior Account Executive. I accepted the offer after a six month interview process.

Interviewed Jun 2009 in Saint Paul, MN (took 1 week)
First after applying online I had a brief phone interview which was mainly when could I could come, when could I start, was I ok with a drug test, etc. Then the actual interview fist went to HR and did a typing test. Then had to do one of the personality type questionnaires. ThenI met one on one with the HR rep. Finally she took me to the cust service dept and met with two of the managers there. They asked more about my experience dealing with people, and computers, that type of stuff. I was offered the job at the end of the interview, though I do know some people who didnt hear back for 2-3 weeks before being offered the job.

Interviewed Apr 2011 (took 5 days)
Sent my resume on Sunday, received a call to schedule a phone interview on Monday. The girl from HR was very nice. She sent me the info and the test I was to take before my interview. I don't think they sent me the right test. It was more geared toward a financial analyst position ( not sales), and the questions were difficult. I guess I passed since I still had the phone interview. He was not friendly, rushed me off the phone because he had a meeting.
