Interviewed Jan 2009 in Memphis, TN (took 12 months)
very very long drawn out process over the course of many monthes. Interviewers seemed really interested in hiring me but hands were tied with corporate. After reading the reviews it seems to make sence. I never recieved a call back

Interviewed Jul 2010 in New York, NY (took 3 days)
I received calls from 3 employees one in NY, one in SEattle and one from an executive in Nashville.
The first 2 interviews were good, theo people were honest, knew their jobs and did warn me about the exec who I'd be talking to.
This exec was extraordinary in a bad way. Cold, asked irrelevant questions and then sent me a form letter telling me they were no longer considering me. This after being chosen as 3 of 300 people who had applied for job. I thought it very rude of exec to behave in this manner, made me NOT want to work for such a clearly not nice guy.
Fast Forward 3 months, looks like several of those I spoke to have been let go. They have openings in NY and LA, wish I knew why these folks got the boot!

Interviewed May 2010 in Nashville, TN (took a day)
There were four one on one interviews. Ranging from the Network Manager, Sr. Software Engineer, IT Director, and their Sr. Network/PC Tech. I hadn't even checked out the company review on this site before I came. I was asked if I was aware of the company reputation at the interview.

Interviewed Jan 2008 in Nashville, TN (took 3 months)
I sent a cold-call letter to the company, expressing my interest in employment. About 10 weeks later, after having heard nothing, someone from their HR department called, and said the the CEO would like a phone interview with me. I did the phone interview, and the next step was an in-person interview. I suggested that I could save the company travel expenses, as I was going to be in Memphis (3 hours away) and I would drive to Nashville for the interview. I also made it clear that I would have to be done the interview by 12:30 PM at the latest to make my return flight. I arrived at 9:00 AM and met with the HR manager. I learned that he was a recent hire and asked him how he liked it so far. "umm... it... er... interesting," he said. He said the CEO had balled him out for not spending enough hours there. Red Flag. Then I proceeded to take some type of personality test, which I'm sure had many questions which were illegal for an employer to ask. Finally, around noon, the CEO sauntered in, picked up my resume from the HR guy, then disappeared down the hall. At 12:35 (!), he called me in for the interview. I was supposed to be gone already. Had a decent interview (though I felt rushed) in his beautiful office, and he offered me the job, though we didn't get as far as negotiating salary. I sped all the way back to Memphis and made my flight with literally 2 minutes to spare. Whew!
Interview Questions
Reason for Declining
About 30 minutes after the interview, I had the feeling I was going to hate the job if I took it. So I declined it. From what I've read since then, that was a VERY good decision!
Other Details
I applied In-Person and the interview consisted of a 1:1 Interview and a Personality Test.

Interviewed Jan 2007 (took 6 months)
It was a seemingly endless amount of hoops to jump through. The interview had some very odd questions and verged on being discriminatory. By he time you're finished you feel like you have joined a cult, because you have.
Take it all with a grain of salt. It's only a temporary job.

Easy. They don't pay all that well. Which is good. Hint: if you want to keep your job don't make a lot of money.

Interviewed Apr 2008 in Nashville, TN (took a day)
Interviews start on time and are with 2 supervisors. The questions are general and basicaly cover your application. Depending on which department is hireing, you are asked about the use of tools you will need to know how to use. You ar not really asked about your education, special training or what special skills you may can offer the company.

Negotiation Details
There really is no offer. They tell you the times & pay & if you agree, the only thing that stays the same is your pay. Any increase you may receive will come 1 or 2 months after the date you were told to exspect it.

Interviewed Jan 2009 in Nashville, TN (took 2 weeks)
You start with a phone interview, then go on to several online tests (that will take time for which you aren't compensated) The in-person interview is by 4 different people seperately in 2 different locations. The 4, CFO, Director of Accounting, HR Rep, and Controller had been with Gibson for a range of 9 months to 9 years. Just keep putting the ball back in their court.
