Interviewed Apr 2012 in New York, NY (took a day)
I filled out an online application and submitted a CV through the hospital's website. A human resources rep contacted me by email the next day, offering two windows for a phone interview during the following week. I emailed them back and chose the first window, which was 1.5 hours long.
On the day that I chose, the HR rep called me 20 minutes after the scheduled time window had ended. They offered no apology or excuse. It also seemed as if they were looking at my CV for the very first time as they asked me questions. They were also unable to pronounce the name of department that the laboratory served, which may seem like a petty detail, but was very off-putting to me. In one of the final questions, they wanted to know if I had a job skill that was listed neither in the job description nor on my CV.
Overall, I was left with a sense that I was being screened by someone who had put little or no preparation into performing their job and a feeling of confusion about why they had contacted me in the first place.

Interviewed Dec 2011 (took a day)
I applied online. Got an email the next day to set up a phone interview. Took time away from work. Time for the call came and went. Interviewer emailed me back to reschedule. Same thing. Interviewer emailed me back to reschedule. Same thing. After the third time I gave up. Very unprofessional and reflects very poorly on the org. Won't bother next time. No apology, either. Is it so hard to admit you are wrong?

Interviewed Jan 2009 in New York, NY (took a day)
The interview process is very professional and comftorable. Its done in a very nice environment and the manager is warm and non intimidating. The employees for the most part on the other hand behave very unprofessional which makes one wonder if this is the best working environment for one self. If you need the money then what can you do, but if you have options it may be best to use them.

The manager was very nice and asked me questions about my ability, desire, and knowledge of the company. The HR asked a lot of questions, but with proper preparation the questions were relatively easy to answer.

Interviewed Jun 2010 in New York, NY (took 1 week)
My resume was passed on from a colleague and two people from the company called to interview me about two different positions My first interview was with the manager and bypassed HR. The interview went well. The interviewer asked the same canned interview questions.

Interviewed May 2009 in New York, NY (took 1 week)
It did not feel like an interview at all. It was more of them telling me the benefits of the position then asking me very light questions about why I wanted to work in that department as opposed to others. They then asked me if I had any questions, but after they told me so much all the questions I had planned had already been answered.
