Interviewed Jan 2012 in Atlanta, GA (took 2 weeks)
Initial interivew was via phone with a lower level manager. They asked basic questions and explained the position. In person interview was rescheduled twice. Overall the compensation was decent but as many explain, it appears they place high demands on their people and may not consider a work like balance. Just my opinion.

Interviewed Oct 2011 in Atlanta, GA (took 1 week)
I had two-phone interview before being asked to come into for 1:1 interviews with three different individuals.
I was told by HR to look for an email with directions, and an agenda. Never got it, they sent it to the wrong person.
They hired from inside, which I think they knew they were going to do all along. Big waste of my time !

Interviewed Nov 2011 in Atlanta, GA (took 3 weeks)
Contacted by a recruiter who found my resume on LinkedIn. After two interviews about two different positions, I was brought in for one-on-one interviews for a Content Strategist role. My skill set was too broad and creative for the position I was interviewing for.

Interviewed Nov 2011 in Atlanta, GA (took 3 weeks)
Initial phone interview took place at the end of October, I was scheduled to meet wtih five separate individuals at corporate HQ in Atlanta on November 11th. Due to scheduling conflict only met with 2 of the individuals. I was rescheduled to meet with the individuals who had cancel & once again I was told one of the hiring managers would not be available. I was told after the interviews they would be in touch. Two weeks later after not hearing anything, I sent an email & rec'vd reply they would contact me within the next 2-3 days. When I still did not hear anything I called & left a message. On the following day I received a call from the recruiting coordinator telling me they decided to pursue another candidate & would keep me in mind for other opportunities.

Interviewed Nov 2011 in Atlanta, GA (took a day)
There was a two step interview process. The first step was a technical phone interview in which they evaluated my technical skills and asked questions about items on my resume. My interview was very straightforward and friendly; it was a conference call with two IT developers. They asked me a couple of questions about the projects I worked on and tested my familiarity with the programming languages listed on my resume.
The second step was an on-site interview with three IT developers at their headquarters in Atlanta, GA. The developers were extremely friendly and very easy to talk to. The interview was basically a behavioral interview combined with efforts to figure out where I would best fit into their IT department. I received my offer for an internship only two days after the interview.

Interviewed Nov 2010 in Atlanta, GA (took 1 week)
The initial interview was a phone screen with 1 of the 3 members in the team. The phone screen primarily was a discussion of my resume and types of experience with a few behavioral questions. Within the next week, I was in the office for an interview. This process was awful because someone from HR picked up myself and two others in the lobby, walked us all to the same area, and divided us into 3 conference rooms. The 3 interviewers tooks turns swapping rooms, and I felt a lot of pressure to be interviewing at the same time as my competition. There was one person who asked me to analyze a situation on the spot. I walked him through how I would approach the question and what information I would use, but he wanted an actual calculated dollar amount. At that point, I knew they wouldn't extend me an offer.

Interviewed Sep 2011 in Atlanta, GA (took a day)
I first applied for the position online in mid-July. At the beginning of August a received a phone call from an Human Resources representative asking me the usual screening questions. I passed that interview and was scheduled for a phone interview with the hiring manager. Passed that one too and was asked if I would be interested in coming to Atlanta for an onsite interview.
Arrangements were made for the onsite interview to take place the Friday leading into Labor Day weekend. The flight, rental car and hotel reservations were made by Home Depot and everything went very smoothly.
The onsite interview consisted of interviews with three department heads and one peer - the hiring manager was out of the office that day (not a good sign). The final interview was with the peer and she walked me out, an Human Resources representative was not available.
The Tuesday following Labor Day I contacted HR and forwarded my expense report and receipts. At that time I was told to expect reimbursement in 2-3 weeks. I also sent all my thank you notes. That Friday I followed up with Human Resources for an update on the hiring process; no response.
Two weeks after the interview I contacted the hiring manager for an update. No response and no reimbursement check.
Five weeks after the onsite interview I still had not received any update or check so I contacted Human Resources again. Within one hour of that email, I received a proforma, anonymous email indicating I was no longer being considered for the position. No word on the reimbursement check.
The following day I called Human Resources and left a voice mail regarding the reimbursement check. I received an email in response indicating it was 'hung up' in payroll and if I didn't have it by October 17, I should let my contact know and a check would be Fedexd to me. Guess what? No check on the 17th. Contacted Human Resources and no response.
It's now been 6 weeks since my interview. I was not given the courtesy of a phone call to let me know I was no longer being considered and I'm still waiting for the reimbursement of my expenses.
Pros - They are incredibly efficient on the front side of the hiring process. Offices are beautiful and they make a terrific first impression with the gift of a leather notebook and gift card.
Cons - Post-interview process is awful. No feedback and I'm still waiting for reimbursement of over $100 in expenses. Might not seem like much to a multi-billion dollar company but when you are unemployed, it means something.
Overall, I'm glad I wasn't hired.

Interviewed Apr 2010 in Atlanta, GA (took a day)
After completing an online application for a new position, I received a call about 4 weeks later. The HR person on the phone asked qualifying type questions very basic and a few short situational questions. Received another call back from a departmental HR asked that I come for an interview with the hiring manager. The next day wroked great, very informal, borrowed office, business casual dress, but I wore a suit and had a copy of my esume ad references should he need it. The interview was friendly enough as he and his supervisor there talking notes as as Ianswered 8-9 behavioral based questions (STAR). Completing this part, they asked me to sit outside for about 10 minutes. At this point, i WASN'TVERY IMPRESSED.

Negotiation Details
They called me back, both men seemed happy to offer a simple $10.00/hour to start. I stated I wasn't expecting $10 but more in the range of $14-$15/hour. The reply was that the starting range 9.50 to 10.00.
So I took it (needed towork full time) I figure I could loosepotential income by stayingat that level to train. There was no real negotiating involved.

Interviewed Apr 2011 in Atlanta, GA (took a day)
I sent my cover letter and CV to the HR person who posted the job on LinkedIn. She emailed me back within 24 hours to set up a phone interview.
The phone interview was about 18 minutes, only about ten of which were her questions for me. She said the VP was on vacation but that she'd get back to me for the scheduling a final on-site interview. I sent a thank-you email the day after. A week passed, and I sent a follow-up. Still no avail. Three weeks later, I sent another follow-up and she said, "thanks for your patience, he's been traveling."
I never received any communications for a decline or feedback. No courtesy or professionalism shown in this process... SO, I am fine with not moving forward with interviews as this kind of business conduct is usually reflective of how companies operate on the whole.
