Interviewed May 2012 in Milwaukee, WI (took a day)
- I interviewed for a 3-year leadership development program.
- Very poor interview performance by H-D HR-staff, not sufficiently prepared to answer questions properly...
- The program coordinator wasn't even in for the interview, the one who has the most responsibility in that process....
- HR staff didn't even have business cards on hand, to give information for follow-up opportunities...
- Being selected from over 120 candidates for a personal interview, I just got the typical automated rejection email... I think you could expect a very short personal notice...
- Overall skills brought to the table were not understood and underestimated...
- This company definitely doesn't act smart or responsible or representative in their hiring procedures...

Interviewed Mar 2011 in Abingdon, VA (took a day)
Had me fill out a application on the spot. Very laid back interview process. Seemed to ask a lot more about job history and what I would bring to the company. The interview was about 30 mins and consisted of 1 on 1 questions. Later asked to submit drug test after told got the job.

Interviewed Feb 2011 (took 2 weeks)
The interview process consisted of a phone interview, then an invitation to interview at their office. There was a panel of interviewers including potential co-workers, the manager, and an HR representative. At least half of the interview questions consisted of behavioral questions. There were some questions about my proficiencies, but no test of skills or asking me to illustrate a potential design or solution. After the interview, there was a short tour of the work area.

Negotiation Details
I was unable to negotiate after the offer was made. I would suggest trying to make your needs clear after the interview and before the offer is made.
Other Details

Interviewed Dec 2009 (took 4+ weeks)
Applied for a position and about 6-8 weeks later got called for an interview. The interview was with 3 other people, and not that I was told the interview was 1:1, but 3:1 was surprising and a bit overwhelming. Not only is is a lot of people, but it was quite a rapid fire approach that didnt give me time to feel like I was fully understanding much less answering the questions. Honestly walked away feeling defeated. BUT In the end, I was offered and accepted the job and the work environment and company had pros and cons but a good experience

Interviewed Jan 2011 in Milwaukee, WI (took 2+ months)
Initial interview was with two attorneys, rather than HR (always nice to be interviewed by others in your peer group); included very basic in-house screening questions regarding prior experience, what you would bring to H-D, etc. Company was very prompt about following up with a 4-hour callback interview in which I met with various small panels of people from HR, in-house legal and various client groups; also included a one-on-one interview with the GC. Interview questions were about 80% behavioral.
H-D seemed like a nice place and the actual interview experience was great. My one criticism is that the post-interview process was not handled well. The decision-making process dragged on for 6 weeks, and getting feedback about the status of the process was very difficult.

Interviewed Oct 2010 in Metairie, LA (took a day)
This Harley-Davidson dealership held a job fair after hours which was advertised on an internet job posting website. Although applicants were instructed to call ahead, more candidates showed up than were expected. The wait for the interview was not long considering the large amount of people. Once the application was completed, we were seated and waited to be called in for a one on one interview with the Marketing Director.

Interviewed May 2009 (took 4+ weeks)
The recruiter contacted me regarding the position. I reviewed the job description and agreed for resume transfer to company. Company reviewed resume and requested phone interview with me. The phone interview was a panel (HR manager and Hiring manager) interview. The phone interview was a grueling behaviorial situational format. No feedback was provided during the phone interview. The recruiter contacted me stating that the company wanted to bring me in for a face to face interview. The f2f interview consisted of 3 -1 hour panel interviews with 3 people in each. The panel interviews were formal with a set of questions given to each of the panels to ask. These questions were the same for each candidate for direct comparison. The interview went very well and they were to present an offer soon when the HD quarterly report was presented. Following this report of huge losses, the job reqs were frozen and layoffs took place.
