Interviewed Sep 2009 in San Jose, CA (took 2 days)
Asked about previous experience via phone interview. After I passed that, had a 1:1 interview with General Manager. Spoke with her for about 20 minutes and she asked me the usual questions like "Wat were your greatest challendes", "Where do you see yourself in 5 years?", etc. She was going to have me do a role play with a colleague then decided that it would not change her mind. She offered me the position.

Interviewed Dec 2009 in San Diego, CA (took 2 days)
Standard interview except for the role play. Was sent basic info via email ahead of time and had to prepare a sales presentation as a role play. The info they sent and what they expected in the role play were somewhat conflicting.
They were going through restructuring and exiting bankruptcy so there seemed to be a lot of confusion.
While I was waiting in the reception area before the interview, I heard the receptionist take a complaint call from someone who wanted to cancel their ad. The receptionist seemed less than helpful and it seemed like a common occurance.
I was wiling to take the position on a short term basis if needed (was unemployed - recently laid off at the time) but I knew I wouldn't enjoy it on a long term basis,

Interviewed Nov 2008 in Waltham, MA (took 2 days)
After a phone interview I went for an on-site interview the next day. There were three 1:1 interviews with senior engineers and a group interview with two others. The technical questions were from java collections, algorithm solving and object oriented design. At the end I was given a tour of the place and got introduced to a few other people from the team. Everybody was nice and friendly.

Interviewed May 2008 in Boston, MA (took 3 weeks)
There was a prescreen telephone interview with HR. It was very basic. She followed up a couple of days later to schedule the in-person interview with the manager. The second interview was about a week later. It included a mock sales call that I had 15 minutes to prepare for using the information and scenario that my manager outlined for me.
Negotiation Details
I couldn't negotiate anything. It was a union position.

Interviewed May 2009 in New York, NY (took 3 weeks)
Contacted and screened. Did 45 min phone interview next day. My follow-up calls and emails were ignored completely. THREE WEEKS later - I got a return call from the same recruiter/interviewer I spoke to originally asking who I was and when did we ever speak! Preposterous company!

Ask real questions about day to day oversight. Make sure you are comfortable with their model of sandler sales. They have their way and you can take it or not. Benefits were up front.
