Interviewed Jan 2012 (took 3 weeks)
process began with recruiter calling me and doing initial interview over the phone. You have to then fill out a career history form. It's purpose is to ensure you are willing to provide names of your past and present supervisors and your wllingness to grant permission to contact them. Then you are presented with a math test geared for someone who just graduated college. There are 50 questions you must answer 16 correctly or you are out. Initial interview with stuffy manager. Second interview with another manager which is geared towards ensuring you are compatible and they go through your resume and ask how you sell today and what your sales cycle is. Personality test , then go on to meet a district manager and do role plays with both managers. They are looking for candidates that can do one call closes. It didn't seem like they were interested in a consulative sales approach for customers. My impression is that they are interested in hiring younger candidates for their sales positions.

Interviewed Mar 2010 (took 4 weeks)
First 1:1 interview was very casual and easy. Caliper and math tests were administered. Both tests were easy but Caliper was extremely long. Group interview was the hardest interview I have ever had. Notified me of my "hire with reservations" score on the Caliper test. Heard from the grapevine (current employee) that I was going to be offer the position, but didn't receive the offer until I called the manager.

Negotiation Details
No negotiation... asked for higher base since my previous base was 2X, but was told higher potential with commissions... hmmm... expense (mileage, phone) was a bit higher than standard, however, territory was switched after training, which now makes expense allowance not covering mileage.

Interviewed Feb 2010 (took 2 weeks)
First is a phone interview then if you pass a face to face interview is set up with a manager. Before you meet with the manager they give you a math test that is very hard. If the first manager likes you they have you interview with the other managers in the office. then you are given a personality test that takes around an hour. Then if they like the results you meet with the regional manager. Got the feeling they want you to beg to work for them. If you are not interested in the position you would not go through their interview process for a entry level sales job
