Interviewed Jan 2009 in West Caldwell, NJ (took 2 days)
Word and Excell Skills Test; Intereviewed with 2 supervisors and manager that seemed to be very knowledgeable. The Manager just stared a lot, made me think that the supervisors knew a lot more than he did. Of which, I ultimately found to be true. The office is somewhat dirty with dated furniture 1970's.

Interviewed Nov 2009 in Grand Rapids, MI (took 6 weeks)
Recruiter called and qualified me as worthy for the next step. Met with Human resources director for one on one over coffee and my resume. (Her job is to get the feel for your "first impression"). I asked for the job & closed the interview and was told then that I would be called in for the panel interview. The panel interview was at the Grand Rapids office with the owner/CEO, CFO, Human Resources & Sales Manager. Thay asked detailed questions about my qualifications then I had to present a product to them and handle objections and close the order. I then had to type a what do you expect to be doing here at Pella in one month, three months, six months & one year from now.

Interviewed Dec 2009 in Richmond, VA (took 6+ weeks)
the hiring process is complex and very thorough, i went through several rounds of evaluation all of which culminated to a group interview that invloved 5 pella employees looking to see how i was able to answer questions in a rapid fire situation. It sounds intimadating and it was! Their questions involved scenario topics, like what would you do in this situation, they probe for ethical and moral fiber. An applicant should research the history of the company and be able to give a brief description of the company and its mission. The manager will also ask the general question, why do you want to work for pella, what do you think you have to offer, whats your biggest weakness, your best strength etc. One should look to have a decent background in the construction field, that would make them look much more attractive.

Negotiation Details
I was given an offer and seeing how the job market was pretty slim at the time, i took what was offered. I would recommend the same for others, i believe the company has a policy for what it allows entry level employees to recieve for starting pay.

Interviewed Sep 2010 in Pella, IA (took 2 days)
On site shadow with person of that role, interview with potential supervisor, panel interview and 1 on 1 interview the next day. It appeared that communication as to how your shadow and 1 on 1 interview went was handed off between phases. This was challenging but managed if you were attentive.

Negotiation Details
Did not exist. Firm offer, no real negotiation. Relocation and entry salary are often negotiable, but this company has now had layoffs and the demand for staffing is not high.
