Interviewed Sep 2011 in Boston, MA (took 1+ week)
The phone interview and in person interview were professional and timely. I was not offered the job, and frankly I understand. I don't think my goals aligned well with the position. I believe they recognized that as well. Though, I have one big problem with the process. After the in person interview there was zero communication. No returned email or phone calls. Just radio silence and no explanation on why. That seems stinks of a management issue in my opinion.

Interviewed Oct 2011 in Plymouth, MI (took 5 days)
First, there was a phone interview that took about 20 to 30 minutes. After that interview, I was asked to come in for a in person interview where I interviewed with three interviews consisting of human resources, engineering and the group director for the position that I interviewed for. They asked standard interview questions, but I did not leave excited about the job.

Interviewed Apr 2011 in Milwaukee, WI (took 3 months)
Applied online and was contacted by phone first.
General questions regarding coursework, GPA, activities and other job relevant questions.
Was then brought in for 3 face to face interviews with members of the group I would be working with.
Questions regarding ethics, skillset, and a short case study were asked.
Sat around for 1-2 months thinking that I would not ever hear from them. Found a new job but received a call to meet with a VP. Met with that day, got the offer and accepted within a week.

Interviewed Oct 2010 (took 3 weeks)
The interview process consisted of 2 phone interviews: recruiter and hiring manager. After this initial screening we had 2 Panel interviews with the HR VP of the buisness segment and regional directors (2 panels with 4 individuals each). After this phase of the interview a final interview with the Regional Manager whose team I would be supporting. Although the process was a bit long, the atmosphere was very comfortable and professional.

Interviewed Jul 2011 in Houston, TX (took 2 months)
A phone interview with the HR followed with a personal interview with the hiring manager after 2 weeks. 3 days after that i did the drug test and filled information of my background check. All communication after that was between me the Hiring manager.....I was asked to forward a copy of my ssn card and green card. problem that my green card was in process of being corrected due to error by the USCIS. I tried to convince them many times that it is only a matter of time till i received it. I provided all proofs/documents needed. Yet No response.
I understand that companies may not want to get into immigration stuff, but HR main job is to get in touch with the candidates if there is any action required from him/her.
But I really appreciate what all efforts done by the hiring manager in being a conduit between me and the HR, knowing that it is not his job to so.
Last time i called the hiring manager was when i received my green card, but by that time, I learned that JCI is not hiring right now till the end of the year. joining such a great corporation would have been a great opportunity for me, but maybe i was not meant to work for them at the time being. may bey in the future.
