Interviewed Mar 2008 (took a day)
Applied via college career website. Received a call o interview and had a short phone interview with my manager. Asked basic interview questions like what I was interested in and sorts of projects I worked on. Had an on campus interview with manager, lasted about 45 minutes. Went over the job requirements and asked mainly behavioral questions. There was a short 3 question proficiency exam to see that I knew he basics of electrical engineering. Describe what a voltage divider is, given a basic transistor circuit what does it do (what logic function does it represent). Find the voltage at a node in a simple 3 resistor circuit.

Interviewed Aug 2008 (took 2 weeks)
Applied online. Was contacted by email to arrange a phone interview with the person I would be most closely working with. Was just asked general questions about my experience and background. Had a second phone interview with several team members at once. This was mainly to see if we could work together personailty-wise. Most of the team members were not in my area of expertise.

Interviewed Jan 2008 (took 2 weeks)
The interview process was quick and dirty. The interviewer met at an off sight location and asked a very simple set of questions. Questions such as, "Are you good with your hands?" were quite common. The employer asked about past criminal records as well as drug usage etc. All in all it was the easiest interview ever.

Interviewed Jan 2010 (took 2+ months)
The interview process was 1) telephone interview by HR representative 2) telephone interview by line of business manager 3) face to face interviews with potential hiring mamnager and a number of people who would be peers. There was a lot of situational question, "describe a time when you had to..." Their staff was very professional and courteous. The process was run in a business-like and very smooth manner.

Interviewed Aug 2008 in Seattle, WA (took a day)
Interview consisted of two one on phone face interviews where they ask you behavioral and experience questions based on your leadership and desire to succeed. This interview was focused on key accountablilties for service management. Inventory control of service inventory (just in time vs just in case), customer satisfaction issues (respponse time vs fix time) and project management process.
The company was obviously in ttransistion from a "break fix" operation to a professional services organization. Training at all levels had been negelected resulting in poor service. The individual associates are friendly but it is a very closed network that does not welcome outsiders. They value years with the company over ability. Discipline is poor resulting in poor performers being moved around from department to department. The company is resistent to any Six Sigma applications to service.

Interviewed Mar 2009 in Stamford, CT (took 4+ weeks)
Applied to Pitney Bowes through campus recruiting. Scheduling the interview was pleasant. Drove up to CT on a Thursday for 2.5 hours of interviews. They were very engaging and easy resume interviews, but in the last 5 minutes, the last interview tells me "Well, we had 2 slots for the internship and we have made 2 offers." So, she explains that she expected one of the offers would be expected and the other was unsure, but that the candidate had a deadline of the following Tuesday. That they had me come all that way to interview when they didn't have an opening was only the beginning. The interviewer said she would call after she heard from that candidate, and also indicated the possibility of opening up another slot. I waited a week and called the interviewer a couple of times when I didn't hear from her and left a message. Waited another week and a half, and called back, and got her on the phone. She said that he had accepted the offer and that she wanted to call me back but couldn't find my number. (I know I left it on the message I had left for her- in addition to it being on my resume). Anyway, I'm sure this is not indicative of everything that goes on with this company, but this was a very unpleasant and unprofessional experience with this Organizational Development group within HR.

Interviewed Mar 2008 in Irving, TX (took 2 weeks)
The interview process was very accellerated. The position was open for an extended period and there was confusion with HR about what type of person was needed. There was a 3 hour telephone interview ranging from basic questions to very detailed answers concerning associate performance issues, troubeled account management and in depth understanding of field service issues. This was followed up with a 1:1 with a Director of Service that lasted most of the day.
This interview was focused on key accountablilties for service management. Inventory control of service inventory (just in time vs just in case), customer satisfaction issues (respponse time vs fix time) and project management process.

Negotiation Details
Difficult to negotiate. HR does not understand the business. The negotiation will have to be at the highest level. Compare to the competition prior to accepting any offer
