Interviewed Dec 2010 (took 2+ weeks)
extensive battery of skills and strategy questions along with drug screen, background testing and behavioral analysis. Just when you think its all over there's more testing to be done. The worst part is knowing I left another job to join this one without knowing it all hung on spotlessly passing the background check. What if an old neighbor or coworker said something bad about me? Then what? I knew I hadn't committed a crime but I've heard of paperwork mistakes and what's it to them if a file goes into the Keeper pile or not. Anyway I made it but I was not happy about feeling like I'd taken an unexpected risk.

Interviewed May 2010 in Cherokee, NC (took 4+ weeks)
You apply, after a week you get a call that they would like you to come to a panel review. This usually consists of 10-15 people and they ask you basic questions and ask you to do stupid things (to build unity). After that you do a 1:1 with the supervisor of the department you apply to. After another week you do a drug test and once that comes in you do a week of training at 7.25 an hour (Usually a $200 check). Once that is done then you start your regular job.

Interviewed Feb 2010 in Las Vegas, NV (took 3 days)
Interview consisted of a conference call. Interviewers were polite but challenging.
Two interview questions:
1. Estimate the number of elevators in Manhattan.
2. You have a two sided scale (like Lady Justice's) that can be used only twice. There are seven balls of which one is weighted differently from the others. How do you find that ball using the scale only twice?

Interviewed Apr 2010 in Chester, PA (took 2 weeks)
Had an informal phone interview, invited onsite. Although, I got there about 15 mintues early, the interview did not begin until 30-40 mintues AFTER our scheduled time. There were (obviously) formulated questions, i.e. give me three words to describe your personality, how would your last boss describe you?, do you have problems working nights, weekends, or evenings?, etc.

Interviewed Aug 2010 in New Orleans, LA (took 2 days)
Had to meet 1:1 with a member of the HR staff. She asked questions about me, and what I liked and disliked about my current position. She then invited me back for a panel/group interview at a later date. At the panel interview, we were asked questions that would allow us to display our personalities and guage how out going we were.

Reason for Declining
They offered me a part-time position, even after I specified that I was interested in a full-time career change.

Interviewed Nov 2009 in Las Vegas, NV (took 1 week)
The interview process was very extensive. A phone interview lasted about 40 minutes; An all-day extensive interview was conducted with 5 parts. A follow-up interview was then conducted with the VP who manages the entire PMO and shared services.
The all day interview had the following sections: Part 1 is a 2-part (100 min.) computer multiple choice and scenario/answer kind of tests, one for personalities, the other similar to GMAT for analytical / MBA type of questions. Part 2 is 1 hour with hiring director 1:1. Part 3 was an informal lunch interview with two directors, but they don't waste time, and many personality and work history related questions were asked, and they certainly assess interaction and reaction beyond office environment. Part 4 was a quick one-on-one with a peer senior project manager. Part 5 is a case study of a past nation wide implementation project, followed by a presentation to an interview panel consist of 2 directors and 2 peer senior project managers. The cases were created by two of the interviewers, and they ask for how would you do it, similarly or differently. Be careful criticizing what's shown on the case written - you may offend some of the interviewers.
Overall, the interviewing process is good, and if your experience and knowledge excel, you have a good chance. However, the flaw in the process is, interview panelist may not value different management methodology when the case study was to analyze and critique on the project they managed in the past. The panel does not have any representative from stakeholders such as management from customers or technology side. Personality assessment from face-to-face interview was also limited to feedback from peer or supervisor, but not from departments where a senior PM will truly interact with.

Interviewed Jan 2009 in South Lake Tahoe, CA (took 1+ week)
HR staff very arrogant. Supervisor interviewed for 30 minutes (very unprofessional and amateur-ish). Hiring manager interviewed for 15 minutes, answering his phone 4 times (yes, FOUR times) during the interview. Limp-fish handshake drew shivers.... Final offer letter received for different position and accepted as a "get my foot in the door" opportunity.

Interviewed Aug 2010 in Las Vegas, NV (took 1 week)
I had an interview with HR at first. She scheduled me to attend a group/panel interview that consisted of 20 other applicants (for all positions) and required to bring one item that I am most passionate or proud of (excluding family and pets). I was paired with another person and had to introduce her to the class. In addition everyone was required to share the best customer experience and then present your item to the class. It was actually a fun process (only if you are one to interact).

Interviewed Jul 2010 in Las Vegas, NV (took a day)
Was a group interview with 17 people in a small room sitting in a circle with 4 Managers/Executives. Was asked to bring an item I'm most proud of or passionate about. Started with being partnered up with another candidate and spending 10 minutes getting to know them. Then had to introduce partner to everyone. My partner was extremely nervous and made up embarrassing nonsense about me. I was horrified and I know it was visible on my face. Then we had to share a situation where we experienced outstanding customer service. Then we had to share and explain the item we brought. After everyone was done, the Managers left the room for 10 minutes to deliberate and 1 Mgr. returned. She called out the names of half the group ( I was in that group) and asked us to follow us into the hall. She then thanked us for our time, but they're not going forward with our applications.
