Interviewed Aug 2010 in Atlanta, GA (took 3+ weeks)
The interview processes consisted of an phone screen first. Then after the phone screen I was asked to go visit customers with one of their sales reps. We visited sites as well as offices. Expect to be on the job and get a little dirty. Not for people who want to sell to offices only. The vehicle we rode in was marked with the company logo. Not really the car you want to drive to the store. The sales rep even made comments that customers laugh at the funny looking vehicle. The company might want to consider using the industry standard like a truck. Also, if you have a baby don't expect to put a car seat in your company vehicle. It won't happen. I then interviewed with the managers at their retail store. I have to say not sure about the one of the managers not sure if I would want to work for him.
I was interviewed again and made an offer but for Atlanta the salary was ridiculous. They want a lot from their sales reps but in Atlanta I can go with a higher industry with better pay. Overall positive but I think their expectations are a little unrealistic. I think this would be a good foundation in sales but if your good the impression is that you leave.

Interviewed Jul 2009 (took a day)
Question and answer. Didnt follow hilti red thread dimensions. Categories where they pick you apart. Interviewed by people who dont understand a real world business model. Hr people who are incompetent, division managers who act like children in meeting and engineering personel who dont work but pretend they do. If half the leadership actually focused on the truth and doing the right thing this company could actually go somewhere.

I applied In-Person and the interview consisted of a 1:1 Interview.

Many situational questions are asked and how you reacted to them. Give good examples of different situations and what you did to improve them. The interview will be at least 1 to 2 hours depending on the hiring manager. The company is huge on mobility so even if you are not mobile say you are will to move to get the job.

Interviewed May 2010 in Tulsa, OK (took 4+ weeks)
No one person can make a decision, inconstancy in what the company likes to show (who they are - goals, achievements, creed) vs management authority and actions. Lots of responsibility and zero authority.

Interviewed Apr 2008 (took 5 weeks)
Phone screening was fairly easy, they asked basic questions to qualify for the next level in the interview process. The first face to face was easy, basic probing questions that focused on my background and history. All follow up interviews build on the past ones.
Negotiation Details
If you make it to this faze push for the best deal possible. Once your on board you'll never get a raise or increase so get what you can now.

Interviewed Apr 2009 (took 6+ weeks)
Company is good and interviewing candidates in the beginning, but they take FOREVER is placing new hires. Expect to wait awhile to be placed. Locations depend on openings, they do not forward-hire for positions like in the past.

Negotiation Details
Absolutely no room for negotiation. You either take what they offer or not. They offer a horrible relocation package, which mostly gets eaten by taxes.

Interviewed Jun 2008 (took 2 days)
Very formal... they had a goal in mind and knew exactly what kind of people they want in the company. They were friendly and not judgmental. They also don't descriminate of how you look.

Interviewed Dec 2008 (took 1+ week)
Was referred to Human Resources by current employee and received a phone call within two days to set up a phone interview. The intial phone interview was a basic pre-screening interview that touched on previous experience, personality traits and what I expect out of a job. After this interview you do a van ride and shadow someone in your future position. The second interview was with my regional manager. He asked questions that needed to be answered in "Context, Action, Result, and Decision" form. If the regional manager feels that the interview went well then you get moved on to an interview with the division manager. After that it generally takes a week or two to find out if you were offered the job.
