Interviewed Mar 2012 in Herndon, VA (took 2 weeks)
Contacted by a staffing recruiter who was very pleasant through the whole process. The recruiter forwarded my resume to REISystems who was immediately interested and called the recruiter back to schedule a phone interview. Phone interview went well and they setup an in-person interview for the next week. The In-person interview only lasted about 30 mins which consisted of mostly scenario questions and there was very little feedback and an overall lack of enthusiasm on their part.. a few days later the recruiter said they didn't want to move forward.

REI sys is a growing company in the area. They seem to have a good process in place as far as recruitment is concerned. What I did not like was the amount of time they take between each communication. It feels like forever. It could be a result of a heavy volume of applications but from a candidate's perspective, it's a painful wait. Advice for REI is to somehow speed up the process. Advice for candidates is to just be patient and don't rule out anything just because they did not get back quickly.

Interviewed Aug 2011 in Herndon, VA (took 4 weeks)
I got a call from the HR and she asked me why do you want to work for REI, my background, BA exp type questions. Later, after a week, a phone interview was scheduled which lasted for like an hour.. two weeks from then a 1:1 was scheduled. Waiting for the final result. I don't know if they are going to call me for the next round.
Overall, the interview was fun because the entire process was in the form of an exercise.. I enjoyed interviewing for REI Systems... though it is not a piece of cake, you would definitely learn a lot out of this interview experience.

The interview constituted Phone and On-Site interviews after the initial HR Screening process. The whole interview process was smooth and the interviewers were very friendly. There were software testing, database and analytical questions in all the rounds.

Really this site helped me a lot. I was just preparing ASP.Net. After seeing this site , I prepared some Analytical questions too. Yeah we can answer Analytical questions. But we need to have a look before interview. It helped me a lot. It has Technical, Analytical and personality too.

Interviewed Oct 2009 in Herndon, VA (took 4 weeks)
I had multiple rounds of interviews.
It started with a Phone interview, after clearing this round, I was scheduled for a face to face interview session within a week.
The face to face session had two rounds of interviews back to back. The interviews were very detailed and touched many areas of a PM's job. After clearing these, I was called in for a third face to face interview session which consisted of two rounds again.
I think that the overall process went pretty smooth and was well organized, although I had to wait a bit at the lobby once.
The interviewer's focus was on my resume and my capabilities. The interviewers were very knowledgeable and hands on folks. There were quite a few very tough problem solving / situational questions which one can only answer if one has experienced the issues firsthand (I think that i did well) . IMHO it is a smart thing to do in order to assess real experience (vs bookish knowledge).
The technical questions were very deep and progressive. I think that the interviewers were looking for a well rounded PM with minimum learning curve. The interviews touched many areas of the SDLC , process areas and were pretty detailed.
Situational questions are always tough, as one cannot remember all experiences one has had.
Technical and direct experience questions are always the ones where you either know the answer or you don't.
My recomendation is - Don't try to BS - as the interviewer will catch it.
The REI team is very technical and advanced. It is a young and growing company - with many positions open and room for growth. The culture is results driven and very customer focussed. I was impressed to see the dedication and motivation at all levels of the personnel I dealt with during my interviews. The interviews are not easy, but when you are hired it gives you the feeling of achievement and it is really great to work with very competitive team-members who have also gone through a very careful hiring process.
After working here for a few months - I have studied the culture, the people, the management and the pipeline - I can say that I made the right career decision to join here.

Negotiation Details
My needs were simple and straightforward, and as the unsolicited offer was in my range - I did not feel the need to do any haggling.
I had some questions related to benefits, which were handled pretty well by the HR POC.

Interviewed Jun 2010 in Herndon, VA (took 1 week)
I have applied online for the job, the interview was set for a Friday. It consisted of a technical interview to test my DB skills for about 1.5 hours and then a one hour interview to test my analytical skills. Monday they contacted me to offer me the position, and by Friday we signed the contract. It was probably one of the most technically-challenging interviews I had to go through, but that was a good indication on the level of expertise that is expected from the employees.
