Interviewed Oct 2010 (took 5 months)
The first interview I had with First Quality was with top management at a Pennsylvania location. Feedback was I was a better fit for a product developer position at a different location than the position I had interviewed for. After several weeks, another trip to the other location was arranged. At that site, interviews were one to one. Both the recruiter and I were clearly told an offer would be made but be patient because there was reorganization going on and how responsibilities of that product development group would be assigned was not decided. Two more months went by. The recruiter could not reach the managers making the hiring decision for that group so she contacted the head of HR. He was unaware of the status of the offer and promised to "check." Word came back that reorganization was not complete and to continue to stand by for the offer. Two more months went by. When First Quality had still not contacted me or my recruiter, I asked her to initiate contact with First Quality. At that time, she was told they had decided not to offer the job to me. That was a complete shock to both the recruiter and me since First Quality had clearly communicated an intent to offer and never indicated the decision to offer was not firm.

Interviewed May 2011 in Lock Haven, PA (took 2 weeks)
I was initially contacted via email by a recruiter who later set up a phone screen. The phone screen lasted about 20 minutes. A couple of days later I was asked to come in for a panel interview. Getting everyone together for the panel interview took a week. That interview lasted about an hour and a half. The panel was three people: plant manager HR manager and trainer. The questions were very good but they were obviously looking for specific answers. The plant manager and trainer both seemed very positive and you could tell they liked the company and what they were doing. The HR manager seemed very detached and cool throughout the interview (more so than is the norm for HR).

Interviewed Jan 2011 (took a day)
This company makes incontinence products--that's the first thing to know about them. There were two interviewers present, an engineer and an hr rep. Overall, the interview was basic. It seemed to go well and I was told I would hear back within a few weeks. Never did, and repeated emails later, I still have not heard. Obviously they are not interested in my application. That's fine, I'd rather not tell all my friends I make adult diapers.

Interviewed Oct 2009 in King of Prussia, PA (took 2 weeks)
I had a phone interview with the hiring manager. Everything seemed to go well. I then received a face to face interview. I met with 2 guys there, the hiring manager and another manager. They seemed real nice and I thought everything went well. I received a call from the recruiter later saying that they felt I was not qualified for what I was asking for. I was kind of irked by this but decided to overlook this and took my salary requirements down a little bit since I was fond of the area (king of prussia). Then they said well we want to interview other people first so I told them to forget about it and good luck with their search. 6 months later I receive a call back from the same recruiter telling me First Quality wanted to talk to me again about the position since they haven't been able to find anyone. I said to myself, thats what they get and told them I wasn't interested.

Interviewed May 2010 (took 2 months)
Recruiter found me on linked in and inquired as to whether I knew anyone who might be qualified. After reviewing the job description, I decided I wanted to explore the opportunity myself. This recruiter screened me via phone and told me about the company, products, environment, etc. After our talk, she referred me to another recruiter specific for the positions. Her screening call was similiar to the first one. At the end of our conversation, she told me that she would set up an in-person interview with the hiring manager. Two weeks later I met with the hiring manager and another senior manager for a casual interview to determine if my experience, interests, and personality would be a good fit for First Quality. I thought the meeting went very well. Didn't hear anything more from them. When I followed up, the HR Manager told me that they would not be discussing the position internally for several more weeks as folks were traveling. I hope to hear from them soon, but at this point am not expecting to.

Interviewed Feb 2010 in King of Prussia, PA (took 2 weeks)
Overall, the interview process was what I expected. In fact, in my opinion, they went very well. At first, I interviewed with their recruiter over the phone. The main question that stands out is that if they were to speak with a previous manager, what would that manager say about me? Shortly thereafter, I had two one-on-one interviews that went well. Most of the questions were related to my functional JDE expertise, as well as background with other non JDE-related firms. I was then flown to their HQ for in-person interviews. Those interviews went quite well. They were much more in-depth. I had a total of four interviews across two days. Everyone was very professional and friendly. I got the impression they felt I was a good fit. When I returned home after the trip, I spoke to the recruiter, and apparently there was a mixup with some paperwork, as well a few other issues. I never got a definitive answer on why they didn't offer me the position, but from what I gathered during the interviews, it is a great place to work.
