Interviewed Mar 2009 (took 2 days)
The process varies by department, job type, level and full-time vs. part-time status. Interviewed with HR who seemed incompetent to say the least, then several employees of various levels and the dept. manager. The staff interviewers were fair and conducted them professionally. The offices were clean and up to date and the reception staff were very warm and welcoming.

Interviewed Jul 2011 (took 4+ weeks)
Since K12 is online school for kids, many positions are located and open to candidates worldwide. I received an email from my "potential boss"-questioning when could we chat- and I agreed to interview the next day(phone). The interview started off great. The usual questions, describing work history-skills. The position I was after-is more based on skills than intellect- so saw no need to bombard me with questions.

Interviewed Aug 2011 in Herndon, VA (took a day)
I submitted my resume on Tuesday and got a call on wednesday asking if I could meet on Thursday. I thought that was fantastic. A recruiter did not contact me. The hiring manager did so. When I went, the receptionist was very nice and offered me a drink and a fob to the restroom just in case. The interview started on time. The interview was very friendly and I was given a lengthy description of the job, role, problems and challenges. The only tough question was: What are the typical challenges you see in this role.
I was offered the job there itself but salary negotiations did not start until the very next day.

Interviewed Jun 2011 (took 3 weeks)
I submitted my resume in response to an ad placed on Monster. About 4 days later I was called by a contracted recruiter who did a very brief phone interview with me (to make sure I was a true candidate). About 2 days after that initial conversation, the recruiter emailed me to let me know that he had contacted the executive who created the position and that person wanted to have a phone interview. After a couple of emails between he and I, we set up a time and date for the call, which was conducted 4 dyas later. That phone interview lasted about 1.5 hours and was mainly the executive providing me details about the company and the position. I asked a few questions and was given lengthy responses and background info, which I appreciated. After that, the recruiter emailed me that I had been moved to thenext stage, which was face to face intrerviewing with 3 different execs, (including the first one). The recruiter allowed me to pick the date and they emailed me the times.
The receptionist was ready for me when I arrived and I was taken to a conference room and met individually with 3 different people, all of whom had my resume in front of them and were prepared for the interview. It was comfortable and welcoming. I felt as though I was really given a glimpse of what working for that company might be like. No tough questions. Hardest was "describe an incident where you had to deal with an upset parent and how you dealt with it and what the outcome was".

Interviewed May 2011 in Herndon, VA (took a day)
The HR recruiter sent several e-mails to determine my skill level. When I was contacted for an interview, I could not be seen by the hiring manager for two weeks. Upon my arrival, the company seemed very disorganized and didn't even realize I was scheduled to come in, even though I had confirmed with the HR Dept. the previous day.
I spent two hours at the company undergoing detailed testing and two separate interviews. Three days later I was informed by the HR dept. that the "team had decided not to move forward." What??? Not move forward with what -- me, the position?? When I asked for an explanation, the HR guy replied that he did not recieve specific feedback and was not sure. Isn't that his job to be informed of the hiring process? What is the point of having an HR dept,?
I question whether there ever was an actual position or whether they were on a fishing expedition to see what desperate job seeker they could snag during the recession.

Interviewed Jul 2010 in Herndon, VA (took 3 weeks)
3 and a half hours of face to face interview with 12 people. 2 people in one group and this way I was asked to join 6 different teams. The boss was arrogant and behaved as if the job seakers in this economy are beggers. It has been over a month and still they did not even call to let me know the result of the interview. Very unprofessional attitude.
