Interviewed Oct 2009 in Melbourne, FL (took 1 week)
Company has excellent reputation in the area. Well established company with great benefits and job security, from what I've heard. Interview went very well. They were clear on skills needed, including ability to multi-task. Pay was a bit below what I was looking for.

Interviewed Nov 2009 in Buffalo, NY (took 1+ week)
I got an email from Harris saying that they were interested in talking to me regarding a Coop position and i should be calling them up. However on calling the telephone number given the person would just not respond. On emailing them too there would be no reply. After 10 days of trying to get through , finally the person picks up and says that they have already hired someone else. On a whole it was a very disheartening process with me having to go through all the anticipation without any outcome at all.

Interviewed May 2008 in Lees Summit, MO (took 2 weeks)
There was an initial phone interview with the recruiter who briefly discussed the salary range and benifits. She then had me talk with the IT manager where he asked me about my background and informed me about the position and their current infrastructure. After that interview there was a panel interview with the IT manager and several other managers. This interview again consisted of technical questions as well as soft skill type questions. After this interview I had an interview with someone from HR who asked me a number of personality type questions. Finally the recruiter called me and informed me that they were sending me an offer packet. Each of these interviews occurred on separate days over a two week period.
Interview Questions
Reason for Declining
I chose to decline the offer because I already had another position and the salary that I was offered was not high enough for me to leave my current position. I was a bit upset at the end because I had informed the recruiter that I was not interested in an offer below a set amount. The recruiter had said that would not be an issue and we continued through a two week interview process that could have been avoided by addressing the salary issue up front.

Interviewed May 2009 (took a day)
The interview process consisted of a phone interview, followed by a 1:1 interview with a collection of different people within the engineering department. An excellent company with excellent beenefits, the offer was declined because of my wife's employment status, but, suffice to say, it would have been a good move. This seems like a good company to work for.

Interviewed Jul 2008 in Melbourne, FL (took 2 months)
The people at the company seemed very friendly. The interview was not overly intimidating and there were not many technical questions. Interviewers seemed to be interested in getting to know me as opposed to asking technical questions on the spot. Overall I enjoyed the process and felt that it was a positive interview experience.
