Interviewed Nov 2011 in Louisville, KY (took 2 months)
This was a very disorganized and haphazard interview process throughout. I was initially contacted by a 3rd party recruiter (Honeywell used Spherion in my case) for the screening one day after I applied for this role via the Internet. A few days later I conducted a phone interview with the hiring manager that was “shooting from the hip” with questions that were very general and he proceeded to inform me of just how messed up the department was that I would be entering if hired. Approximately 3 weeks passed before my on-site interview in Louisville, KY. The on-site consisted of meeting with 2 people including the hiring manager and I was there for around 2 hours in total. The following week I had one additional phone interview with the hiring manager’s boss where it was apparent he was the “tie breaker” between me and one other candidate they were considering. It took another two weeks and an email initiated from me in order to receive the “thanks but no thanks” call from my recruiter.
Upon reflection, I believe my salary requirements were probably a little higher than my competition and that was the key driver to why I was not selected. Based off of their very poor medical benefits package (extremely high monthly premiums and equally high deductibles) along with a few other observations that led me to believe this corporation is rather cheap has brought me to this conclusion. In addition, I am not all that upset about having to relocate from a major east coast city to Louisville, KY.

Interviewed May 2009 in Bangalore (India) (took 2 days)
I received the information from my college's placement officer - career services. The interview was held in my college which consisted of 4 rounds of technical interviews followed by a HR round.
The technical interviews were very difficult - I was asked in detail about each subject that I studied during my electronics engineering. This was strange considering they were interviewing me for a software position, may be they wanted to evaluate my learning skills and my basics.
They did not harp on topics which I was not comfortable with. But grilled me hard on the ones in which I was comfortable. Overall all the four rounds were exhausting - they asked me questions about Thevenin's network to VLSI design.
Good luck to all aspirants.

Interviewed Jul 2009 in Duluth, GA (took 4 months)
Before getting the office interview, I conducted 7 phone interviews from Finance managers in the region. How inefficient. After each interview, you were sent an e-mail from an outside contracting agency scheduling your next interview. When does it stop! After the 6th interview, I finally got an invitation to the office, where I interviewed with 2 managers. The interviewsquestions were so redundant I started to feel like a digital recorded. Not impressed with the process at all!. Never received a notice that no offer would be extended or you need to go to lever 8. I fell off the radar and thank goodness. This is a good indication of a companies regard for the Human Capital.

Interviewed Mar 2010 (took a day)
Interview was conducted by an individual who was clearly reading from a script and sounded disinterested. The questions asked showed an assembly line mentality at the hiring organization. The interviewer did not have a proper e-mail address where I could send him a thank you note. Overall it left a very poor impression of the company.

Interviewed Jul 2010 in Columbus, OH (took 3 weeks)
2-level rectruter type interview. Each one takes about 40 min, first interview is targeted toward businees and technical side of the job, second - personality.
Interestingly, a "must" condition to be considered happened to be not your skills, not your experience, etc... but "willingness" to relocate. This option came across as not to be discussed. Oh, well.

Interviewed Jun 2010 in Minneapolis, MN (took a day)
The process moved very quickly, which was refreshing. There was a 15 minute company overview for the candidates and then 4 consecutive 1:1 interviews. The decision was made the very next day. I was impressed with the process, the company and the professionals I interviewed with.
