Interviewed Oct 2008 in Atlanta, GA (took a day)
I interviewed at the corporate headquarters. It took over a month to get the interview scheduled, but not due to me. I had to arrange my own transportation to the office and pay for it being told I would be reimbursed later. The first person talked with me for 15-20 minutes and then had to leave to participate in a company function elsewhere in the building, which he already had to know. He passed me off to another person who basically had nothing to ask me but offered to answer any questions I had. She could only speak to her specific job not the one for which I was interviewing for. After lunch I met with the VP of Medical Services and another top manager in Medical Services. Questions were not insightful and they were unclear of exactly what they were looking for in the position while questioning me as to whether or not I could do the job. For high level leadership whom I'm sure are good at their job, I was disappointed in my perception of their preparedness for the interview especially considering the level of management of the position and the fact I took a day of vacation and flew from another state to be there.

First interview was a case interview..."A supplier has asked for an increase in prices, how would you determine whether such an increase was warranted?"...followed by some other basic questions. Second interview was much more relaxed.

Interviewed Jul 2010 in Atlanta, GA (took 1 week)
I was contacted by a recruiter if I was available for On Site Interviews for the position of Supply Chain Engineer. This was my first interview and I found it very surprising that they did not conduct any phone interviews. The On Site interview consisted of 3 interviews with each being 45 minutes. I was interviewed by 2 managers and 1 Director. The interviews were mostly based on my experience and projects. They chose not to offer me the position and I think that is why it took them 2 weeks to convey the interview result to me.

Interviewed May 2010 in Atlanta, GA (took 2 weeks)
First contact was via a recruiter on the phone who had some really basic questions (tell me about yourself, questions about relocation, salary, etc).
Next was a phone interview with three managers, which last about half an hour. About half of it was about my background and professional interests, and about half was behavioral questions (what would I do if I thought my manager were wrong about something, tell us about a time you had conflict at work, etc)
A week or so later I was flown in for a day of in-person interviews. The first was with three managers and again consisted of questions about my background, interests, with some behavioral stuff mixed in. The second was with members of team who would have been my peers and was basically a meet-and-greet. The third was with the branch head and was mostly about my interests, how I would fit, and a couple of hypothetical scenarios.
Overall, a very positive experience. Everyone was very friendly, very smart, and seemed committed to their jobs without being overly enthusiastic. Frankly, I can in fairly interested and left wanting the job and even more to work at the Home Depot's Headquarters. Unfortunately I didn't get the position, but still a great experience.

Interviewed Nov 2008 in Atlanta, GA (took 2 days)
The first round of interviewing was on the phone. A recruiter contacted me and I made it through the first round so they invited me in to meet the team. Once at the HQ's of HD they ushered me to a small room and sat me there for 2 hours while I met with 5 different people at 3 different times (2 were in sets of twos). There was one person in Creative that I interviewed with and she clearly expressed she was miserable and seeking new opportunities. (yikes!) I was there for 2 hours answering all the same exact questions over and over with each new group/person coming into the cramped room. I knew I should have brought my own bottle of water, none was offered to me and I was really getting dry mouth from talking. Once I was done with them, THEN I had to go interview with the Director. A smug arrogant guys whom I already did my homework on before meeting with and found out from a number of sources he was very full of himself and rides his people hard. He asked the standard questions... straight out of an HR book, what's your strengths and weaknesses etc. He was very short with me and unfriendly. I knew immediately I did not want to work for such a smug jerk so I was praying they wouldn't call me back. The process wasn't very smooth. The interviewers should have been briefed ahead of time on what to ask instead of all asking the same question.

I was already working in the store as a cashier when I expressed interest in a sales position. I applied and was added to the pool of applicants. I was never given a specific date for the interview, I was just called in to the specialty department manager's office one day. Interview was basic behavioral questions as well as a couple of role plays. I was offered the position the next day.

Interviewed Jun 2008 in Atlanta, GA (took 3 weeks)
I received a call from a recruiter about a week after I submitted my resume for the position. She scheduled a phone interview with the hiring manager to occur a few days later. The hiring manager called and asked me a few technical security questions, along with general questions about my experience and intentions for looking around. The next day the recruiter called me in for a face-to-face interview. A few days later met with the hiring manager and another Lead Security Engineer at their SSC location in NW Atlanta. Great complex, complete with food court, gym, bank, the works. I was called back for a second interview with the hiring manager and the CISO a few days later. Asked some good questions by the CISO. Offer presented within two days after that.
Overall not a difficult interviewing process. They appear to have some very sharp people over there; if you know your stuff you should be fine.
Interview Questions
Reason for Declining
I did not accept the offer because I was concerned about THD's corporate culture at the time and how they had gained a reputation as a sweat shop. Given what I saw I may consider employment with them in the future at some point, since it appears this perception and culture are changing given new senior leadership.
