Interviewed Dec 2011 in Batesville, IN (took 2 weeks)
First, the Hr in R&D department contacted me on the phone and made an appointment to talk with a group leader. Then during the phone interview, the group leader will as some questions base on the resume, such as projects and some programming skills. After that, he asked me for an onsite interview.
For the onsite interview, he first took me to have a lunch in a small restaurant. And ask some general questions such as your hobbies and how you end up in this major or this university. Then he made a tour and showed me around the factories of hillrom, and introduced their products.
For second and third 1:1 interviews, another two project managers will ask for some technical questions based on my resume.
The interview experience is pretty good. And the manager asked me to fill out a background check form online and fax an signed agreement to them. But after one week, I received an automatic rejection email from them without any explanation. I sent an email to the manager but no reply.

Interviewed Aug 2010 (took 4 weeks)
I was contacted by a Hill-Rom HR person about this position, based on an employee referring me. First phone interview consisted of the HR interviewee asking me to "walk through" my resume. No problem. I was told I was well qualified for position and was scheduled another interview with the hiring manager.
On this next phone interview with a Manager (based in the Batesville, IN offices) , I was grilled primarily on who I knew in the industry - no focus whatsoever on professional accomplishments. Apparently, I didn't know enough of the "right people" and that was the end of that interview excercise. Takeaway: it's not what you know - it's who you know that matters most to these folks.

Interviewed Aug 2010 in Atlanta, GA (took a day)
The first segment of the interview process was a phone screen where I was asked general background questions regarding my experience and career ambitions. I had a face to face interview about a month later that was comfortable and professional. Although a local candidate was offered the position, the hiring manager was very professional in responding to any follow-up questions and providing feedback regarding the status of the opportunity.

Interviewed Jun 2010 in Boise, ID (took 4 weeks)
Recruiter had me fill out a 4-6 page questionnaire. Then someone from HR conducted a phone interview
that lasted about an hour. Then a West Coast hiring manager conducted about a one hour phone interview. Then he had me do about a 2 hour in person interview. Very relaxed with give and take. Then they had me work for a day with an outside rep which was fun and went well. Then last of all I had a phone interview with the national VP, apparently she had reservations, I was too over confident and seemed laid back. West Coast Mgr seemed genuinely surprised, but objections were strong and he had to drop my candidacy. I was surprised and disappointed, seemed like the perfect job for me.

Interviewed Apr 2010 in Prospect, CT (took 3 weeks)
The first interview was on the phone. It covered basic overview of resume, why did you leave previous position. The interviewer hung up 3 times and had to call me back. I would recommend being patient and have a good sense of humor.
Next, I had a 1:1 interview with the Regional Manager. Manager covered basic questions about my background, asked why I wanted to work for Hill-Rom selling pulmonary vest?, had me do mock sales call of product I sold for previous company, he had unusual objections and wouldn't let me close, and demo of the product. The manager called me on Saturday to tell me he wanted me to interview Monday. He also called Sunday.
Next, I interviewed with sales rep who coverered territory for past 2 years. The manager said I would be able to ask her questions and get a feeling for the position. However, she had list of very specific questions for me and didn't have time to answer my questions. I got the impression she was inexperienced conducting an interview. Her questions included, how would you sell the vest to a hospital today? and why should I pass on my hard earned territory to you? She gave a little information about a typical say doing the job and said boss was a good guy when I asked about his managment style.
I waited a few days to see if I made it to the 3rd interview. Manager called me at 9:00 p.m. the night before to say he wanted me to travel 2 hours the next morning to a tradeshow. I attended a tradeshow. I had a nice discussion with an experienced member of their headquarters staff, did another mock sales call of a cell phone and was asked to go on a fact-finding mission to their main competitor's booth. The day concluded with manager tellling me he had 3 qualified candidates and why should he pick me? My impression of the Regional Sales Manager and Sales Representative was they are looking for Respiratory experience more than Sales or Territory Management experience. Former sales rep was a Respiratory Therapist. They also weigh Hospital Experience heavily. I got an email over a month later saying they hired someone else. The manager didn't respond to my follow up phone calls.

Interviewed Jan 2010 in Singapore (Singapore) (took 1+ week)
First there was an interview with the local folks in Singapore. They fixed up a phone interview with the folks in USA. The interview went well. But did not hear anything for quite sometime. Later I learnt that after many calls to the hiring agency that the position was filled. They did not even have the courtesy to tell me. Good that I did not get in.
I think the local management is not professional.

Interviewed Sep 2009 (took a day)
Interview was conducted by phone, arranged by recruiter. The interview was conducted by a manager with a different background than the position being posted. This made the question and answer session difficult. He didn't seem to understand what he was looking for. He lost a very qualified candidate. The company must follow many regulations and follows a regimented procedure to qualify it's products (medical). Anyone seeking an engineering position with them should understand this up front.
