Interviewed Feb 2011 (took a day)
I was ask to give a brief example of how I could benefit the CSR dept. The manager was very friendly as that he explained that I was chosen because of my versitility in the company. I was not interested due to the fact that you would be on call 24/7.

Interviewed Dec 2011 in Chennai (India) (took a day)
All the job applicants through campus were asked to take written exam where GK, English and Quantitative aptitude, essay writing was tested, After the completion of the test, there was 1to1 interview, where they stressed more on the written exam questions, later some light was put on the resume, and more questions from Market research. Then it followed by HR/Panel interview where the same questions asked in 1to1 were repeated, They also tried to check how much interest does the candidate have with the current job profile. Salary negotiation took place, then the candidates were short listed by the company.
Interview Questions
Reason for Declining
The package was for fresher and no consideration was done for my experience.

Interviewed Nov 2011 in Owensville, MO (took 5 weeks)
Process was not organized - communication was not organized.
Applied online, 30 days later got a call from corporate setting up a phone interview w/ local HR manager. Local HR manager in charge of 3 locations was uncertain about the process for hiring and could not provide any information about process or next steps / expectations.
Seemed completely overwhelmed and disorganized, as if they grew too fast thru the acquisitions and were in way over their heads.
Interview Questions
Reason for Declining
Manager indicated dying industry, and "New Jobs" announced were actually the result of another location closing and them moving units to another plant, rather than truly creating jobs.
All HR questions were centered around lawsuits. All. Red flag.

I Applied Online and the interview consisted of a Phone Interview.

Interviewed Jun 2011 (took 3 weeks)
I applied for the job and three months later received a phone call from a recruiter. A phone interview was setup with the recruiter and from there I had a 1:1 face interview with the recruiter and hiring manager. The recruiter was nice and the hiring manager was honest.
Interview Questions
Reason for Declining
I declined the offer for two reasons. The first reason was that the company was only willing to match my current salary and the benefits were not as attractive. Lastly, the hiring manager told me during the interview that the business they are involved in is a dying industry and the reason they are hiring is because other locations were closed. I wasn't willing to take the chance that I would be part of a future layoff.

I Applied Online and the interview consisted of a Phone Interview and a 1:1 Interview.

Interviewed Jul 2010 (took a day)
The interview was relaxed and informal. Two managers asked about my previous experience in managing work and staff. I would be in a lead role. They were good about explaining that full training was included and not to worry about knowing their processes. I think they were looking for good communication skills and the ability to work under pressure. The work enviroment would be relaxed, but the work itself would require extreme accuracy. Advise - just be yourself.
