Interviewed Oct 2011 in Athens, GA (took 2 days)
I transferred from a Holiday Inn in the same town and like the Hilton much better. Very rigorous training techniques on computers by going through a lot of powerpoints/presentations and passing quizzes. The training is helpful, but most things about the job are actually learned through experience. Some of the language was kind of confusing and I still do not understand it nor do I use it.

Interviewed Jan 2012 in McLean, VA (took 8 weeks)
Given it was the holidays more or less but the time from initial meeting to final seemed a bit drawn out. I would have loved to have the position; however, they decided to remain internal in their selection.

Interviewed Nov 2011 in New York, NY (took 1 week)
I applied online and was called in two days later for an interview with the hiring manager. I had a brief interview regarding the position I was originally applying for, and she suggested that I would be a good fit for this position. She was super friendly and personal so that calmed made it go well.

Interviewed Oct 2011 in Orlando, FL (took a day)
Received a call from HR and was scheduled an appointment to meet with the hiring manager. Upon arrival to appointment, hiring manager was not available and I was interviewed by two lower level managers. They asked questions from a pre-printed form and took the time to write down the responses. Interestingly, I discovered that one of the interviewers was actually the subordinate of the position I was interviewing for. Is it common for a supervisor to interview their potential boss? Very unprofessional environment when compared to other operations in the area.

Interviewed Oct 2011 in McLean, VA (took a day)
Had an interview with the hiring manager and then with another manager that works in the same department. Mostly behavioral questions, wanting to know about why I applied for the position and what I was looking for. Very few technical questions. Overall the experience was great. Hopefully I hear something positive as its a great company, learning opportunity and room for growth... Not to mention they are prepping for an IPO.

Interviewed Dec 2011 (took 2 months)
My first telephone interview was with the person who would be my manager if I were hired. It went well. She asked relevant questions and we had good rapport.
My second interview was with the boss of the first interviewer. He rescheduled my interview 5 times, often at the last minute. While he was apologetic, it did not leave me with a good impression. It took 6 weeks to actually have the interview. He did not ask many questions and seemed distracted, however, he did say that I was well qualified for the position. He then said that if I were to be further considered, I would have a third interview with his boss, and that he would let me know in 10 days whether I would get this interview.
Two weeks later, I hadn't heard back, so I emailed him to ask if I was still being considered for the position. He didn't reply, but a day later I got an automated notice that I was no longer a candidate.
Overall, it was long, drawn-out, negative experience. I don't know why I was not granted a third interview, as I did have the background and experience they said they were looking for.

Interviewed Nov 2011 in Memphis, TN (took 2 weeks)
My recruiter set up the interview. I met with a manager one on one. Then I met with a manager and a supervisor together, and then a supervisor one on one. Altogether the process took about an hour and a half. The interviews were all very conversational and we mostly spoke about my relevant experience, why I was ready to leave my current position, and what the day-to-day in the Tax Analyst position would be like. It sounds like a very exiting time in this department due to changes in personnel.

Interviewed Mar 2011 in Saint Paul, MN (took 2 days)
I applied at the downtown St. Paul Hilton Garden Inn through a paper application, and upon handing it to the front desk I immediately went through a short interview with the Front Desk Manager, who was a very friendly woman and asked typical front desk questions. She was very encouraging and made the situation feel confortable so I did very well in the interview. From here, she scheduled me to interview with the General Manager two days later. When the day came, I waited for him in the lobby for about ten minutes until he was ready, and we went up a couple floors to an empty conference room. Not only was the room quite intimidating, but the man interviewing me made things even more intimidating. He was a stone cold business man who asked very difficult questions.
Anyways, I didn't get a call back from that interview. They did, however, call me back about a month later asking me to come in for an interview for the Front Desk Manager position. Feeling slightly offended that they didn't call me back the first time, I did not accept the interview.
