Interviewed Oct 2008 (took 3 days)
I was aware of a vacancy through a professional connection. My interview was first with the hiring manager, who knew a former boss of mine through a professional network. Communication between me and my former boss had lapsed, and we were not on exceptionally good terms. I requested subtly that the hiring manager let me know if my boss needed to be contacted as a reference - because I wanted to make contact with him first.
The interview went smoothly enough, and the result was immediately positive - there was talk of meeting other decision-makers in the organisation, including a senior European business manager. A telephone interview with a US-based professional was arranged, which also seemed to go well. I was then invited a week or two later to meet someone from HR - though this was also OK as an experience, I had the uneasy feeling that the interviewer was proceeding on the basis that I might be 'odd' or have a relational problem of some kind and was checking me out..
Later, through the person that initially put me in touch with the Lenovo hiring manager, I understood that my former boss had been contacted despite my request - and unfortunately he had done his best, apparently, to sabotage my chances. Successfully. (I should add that we had worked together for many years previously, and he had had no complaint about my professional competence during that time - but perhaps he hadn't yet forgiven me for resigning from my post?)
There was absolutely no further contact from Lenovo - no follow up after the interview with HR, and no reply to the email I sent to the hiring manager, thanking and enquiring about next steps. No email to say I'd been unsuccessful; no call...Needless to say, I never did get to meet the senior European business manager..
A recruitment process like this is simply shabby - not to say outrageously discourteous - and reflects badly on Lenovo as an employer. Whether the decision is to hire or not, after a few interviews, don't you owe a candidate an answer or feedback of some kind?.... It's particularly galling in my case because I never had the chance to answer any of the plaints made about me by my former boss - because I didn't officially know about them first-hand - and still don't know they consisted of exactly!

Interviewed Apr 2008 in Toronto, ON (Canada) (took 2 weeks)
Interview process consisted of a phone interview. It was a pretty easy interview asking about your prior work experience and basic questions about the role applied for. After this was a panel interview consisting of a team lead and a manager. Here you had a more in depth conversation about work history and more questions about actual position.

The interview consisted of a Phone Interview, a Group/Panel Interview and a Background Check.

Interviewed May 2009 (took 3 weeks)
3 rounds of interviews with hiring manager and management people. They ask what you have done and what you have learned from the school. They also want to know details about the skills you claim to have. Each interview was about 30-40 mins and not very difficult. They are mainly polite and listening to you. Not many sharp questions.

Interviewed Jun 2009 in Beijing, Beijing (China) (took 4+ weeks)
Phone interview from the sector manager and senior director. Both located oversea and thus phone interviews. Asked about career goal, previous experience, how those experience would related to the job and also some typical behavious questions. The position expects a lot from the candidates especially in reporting skills and communication skills (in fluent English)

Interviewed May 2007 in Morrisville, NC (took 4 weeks)
I was recommended for a position and knew a collegue that worked at Lenovo. I had heard a mix of things about how hard the work could be but decided to pursue the personal introduction.

Get what you want from the beginning. Money is not everything, however once you are inside, it is hard to get raises.
