Interviewed Feb 2012 in Indianapolis, IN (took 2 weeks)
I initially applied online to an advertisement on the Internet and was contacted after a few days by a scheduling assistant within this company asking me to complete a questionnaire and provide her with date/times available over the next week for an initial phone interview with the internal recruiter. I agreed and spoke to the recruiter for approximately 45 minutes regarding my background and the opportunity. Everything seemed fine at this point so I agreed to have a 2nd phone interview with the hiring manager. This is where things started to go south. The hiring manager had to reschedule twice and on the 3rd date we set he phoned me 35 minutes late and only called because I reached out to my recruiter to inquire and she quickly contacted the hiring manager. When l was contacted by the hiring manager he was very lame and totally disengaged with our conversation. With that said, I was more than surprised to receive a call from the recruiter a few days after my conversation with the hiring manager inviting me on-site to their offices in Indianapolis (I was not local) for face-to-face interviews but that we would need to conduct them within the next few days as the hiring manager would be traveling abroad. I reluctantly agreed but after one day of scheduling my on-site they contacted me again and stated that the airfare was too expensive for their budget and I could either take a flight that I arrived around midnight for the next morning of interviews or I could cancel and reschedule when the hiring manager returned from abroad. At this point there were too many “red flags” for me to have any desire to continue and waste my time with this company as I no longer had any respect for them. Overall, a very disorganized and cheap organization.

Interviewed Jan 2012 (took 3 days)
I was contacted by a recruiter who did a basic screen, then I took a brainbench exam and did well, then I had a technical phone interview that was simply 30 minutes of him saying words while I gave answers. Finally I went to the HQ and had a few interviews. I was never told the format of any interview, so I went into each blind. The group interview asked several questions that went okay, but then they wanted me to write code in notepad without VS or intellisense. That threw me off. Of course I came up with a better solution once I got home, but too late. I think it's totally rediculous to expect people to code a tricky problem in notepad while they stare at you. I'll be ready next time, but ININ is too uptight for me.

Interviewed Nov 2011 (took 2 days)
Started off with an aptitude test (my college major is not in software), then a short phone screening, then a longer technical phone screening, then a 5 hour, 5-session on-site interview that had me answering general OO programming questions, doing quick coding exercises under their watchful gaze, and doing whiteboard algorithm work.

Reason for Declining
Location, and it was very early in my job search process. If it was not in Indiana, I would've taken it in a heartbeat.

Interviewed Jul 2011 (took 3 weeks)
4 different hour long phone interviews in the middle of the day. Things seemed to be headed toward an offer. A mgr was promoted and was last interview. Seemed like this person already had someone in mind to fill this position. Waste of time.

Interviewed Feb 2011 in Indianapolis, IN (took a day)
Emails between recruiting team and my referral. Then had around a 4 hour interview with 5 different people. Mostly general technology questions and personality/customer service questions. They give NO feedback on your answers and are told to do so. This is intimidating. Work culture is very lax.

Negotiation Details
I was told not to even attempt to counter offer because they have so many applicants willing to take less.

Interviewed Apr 2010 in Irvine, CA (took a day)
I had an interview with this company for 3 hours. it was a total of 4 interviewers 1:1. 2 Personality interviews and 2 technical interviews. Over all it was a pleasant experience. They ask you questions about your personality and require you to tell a anecdote about a time in which you exhibited a certain characteristic. The technical interview questions are very relevant to the position I was interviewing for. They were also quite tricky. Be sure to know your material. Very pleasant interview experience with very pleasant people!

Interviewed May 2009 in Indianapolis, IN (took 1 week)
A ridiculously hard experience overall. Three straight hours of interviews including all areas of the department, each 30 minutes long. What was upsetting was the fact that I had the skills necessary given in the job application, but the interview covered MANY more skills and subjects not mentioned in the job description. I feel like I was turned down on those subjects, not the ones actually shown in the job description. Also, even though the HR folks said they "Pride" themselves on calling applicants soon after interviews, no matter the outcome, I was never given an answer. I had to badger HR just to get a "no thanks" response after a week.
