Interviewed Nov 2011 (took 2 weeks)
One of the strangest interview processes I have ever encountered.
I originally applied on line, and then went through one telephone conversation with the regional HR person. A couple weeks later, they wanted to see me. Since the office was in northern Indiana, and I was several states away, this entailed a flight. Rather than bringing me in the night before and be rested, they arranged for flight that got me out of bed at 4:00 AM and entailed 6 hours of transit time for a 1:00 PM meeting. When I arrived at 11:00 AM to their office (they had arranged for a taxi -- and the driver had no idea where the office was, which was another adventure), there was no one to meet me at the locked door. I was able to gain entry after calling the HR person, who then called someone inside the building. This person sat me in a boardroom for 2 hours of waiting until the hiring manager was available.
The meeting lasted about 2 hours, but was more me asking questions than being interviewed. That was followed by a building tour. During that, I realized the "big guy" did not know everyone who worked for him.
Upon my return home I sent "thank you" notes to all concerned, then called a few days later to HR, and left a few messages over 2 weeks. Never got to talk to a soul.
Then, one day, out of the blue, a computer-generated rejection letter appeared.
The whole process was a comedy of stupidity. Obviously, the other reviews here are likely pretty accurate. Frontier is certainly no Verizon. Their customers and employees certainly know that, according to numerous news, complaint boards, and other reports on the Internet.
At least I got some frequent flyer miles out of the deal.

Interviewed Mar 2010 (took 2 weeks)
After phone interview selection, you were to take a battery of tests for IQ and Skills, then after you passed that test they were timed, a drug test and background check were required.
If accepted in all those phases then you went through a panel interview with 2 people asking questions.

Interviewed Jul 2010 in Charleston, WV (took 3+ weeks)
Horribly disorganized this company lacked basic communication skills within it's own organization. Recruiting was haphazard and uncoordinated. Important documentation was lost more than once. Decision makers were improperly briefed. Phone calls were last minute with followup information being sent late. A poorly run company from a human resourses standpoint. The interview with the final decision makers was even worse. It was apparent they had no organized plan on questioning and were flying by the seat of their pants. The did not present a good impression of the company at all.

Interviewed May 2009 (took 2+ weeks)
People that inteviewed were very pleasent to deal with. They were respectful of meeting times and locations. It was overall a pleasant experience. I feel that for a public traded company they meet all of the expectations that you would have for a corporate company. They want to produce measures for their share holders and won't back down from getting them.
