Interviewed Mar 2009 (took 5 weeks)
Lady on phone asked a bunch of vague, stupid questions like, "What does customer service mean to you?"
I had like three phone interviews like that. They all said the process takes a few weeks. I e-mailed them a few weeks later to see if I was still a candidate and they didn't have the courtesy to respond.

Interviewed Jul 2009 in Oakbrook Terrace, IL (took 3 weeks)
Redbox wants everyone to weigh in on the interviewee. Employees from several departments, whether you would interact during work or not, gets to interview the potential candidate to see if they would be a good fit for the company. A mix of people from your department as well as from other departments conducts panel interview. I personally had 5 different panel interviews over several days, typically taking 30-45 minutes each.

Interviewed Jul 2010 in Atlanta, GA (took 3 weeks)
I was contacted by the recruiter after applying online. I had a total of four phone screenings. I then was asked to go the IL for the panel intereview. My advice to anyone applying for a field position is to make sure to make your driving record and your background is good. I had to decline the offer due to me having a speeding ticket.

Interviewed Jan 2011 in Oakbrook Terrace, IL (took 2 months)
Very chaotic. Learned about posting from a recruiter. Was contacted intially by phone by HR. Very basic questions about background, interest. Took alot of emails to set up a time to talk. No follow-up until 1 month later with an email from hiring mgr. Discussion went well, invited to interview with Mgr. and teammates. HR called to change time day before. Went to interview and hiring mgr. was 'not available'. Waited 45 minutes until next round of panel interviews by different biz areas. Overall, smart group with an aggressive desire to be on the leading edge of technology.
Pros-Seemed like dedicated, fun group of people to work with.
Cons- Very disorganized and not respectful of the canidates time or courtesy of a reply for inquiries. Most companies respond back, even if you are not the canidate of choice.

Interviewed Sep 2009 (took 3 weeks)
It was a phone scree with the corp recruiter, a panel interview with the call center manger and work force manger. That interview went really well I like both mangers and they seemed to like me as I was passed on to the next round. In this round I had two interviews each interview as with 2 people from different department within the company. At redbox you have to pass all panel interviews if any of the 6 people you interview with don't like you there will be no offer. So make sure you sell yourself in all rounds.

Interviewed Aug 2010 (took 3 weeks)
I recieved a call from a recruiter in chicago asking me if i was interested in a position. I was then given a short phone interview asking basic question about my interest and what i was looking to gain out of working for the company. I was told what to expect regarding wages, benes, scheduling, etc. She was very informative and really made the company seem like a great place to work.
About a week after the phone interview I got a call from a manager to set up a date for an in person interview. The manager showed me how the job would be performed and details of the position. Interview was very laid back. I felt comfortable and completely confident. After interview I was told I'd hear something in about a week. After a week went by i contacted the recuiter several time inquiring about the position and was told every time to "give the manager more time." Finally I decided to call manager directly and was informed that the position was filled a week prior to my call.

Interviewed Jun 2009 (took 4 weeks)
Basically I contacted a recruiter and I was referred to another recruiter who I worked with for several weeks. The interviewing process pretty much went no where as a previous post said. The last time I talked with the recruiter he was supposed to be having a meeting with the hiring manager and I followed up a week later and never heard back from him. Very professional. Luckily I was applying to other jobs as well or this would have been a month of wasting my time.

Interviewed Feb 2010 in Oakbrook Terrace, IL (took 3 weeks)
I was approached by a recruiter at a staffing agency about a QA contract with RedBox. Met with the recruiter, the staffing agency wanted to present me to the RedBox hiring manager.
First, RedBox closed the position cause they found few candidates and then decided to reopen it. After that the recruiter set up a phone interview with the Manager. I never received the phone call. I contacted the recruiter about it. Found out from the recruiter that RedBox's new QA Director wanted to hold off any further hiring. All of this going back and forth took several weeks.

Interviewed Jan 2010 (took 2 weeks)
Started with phone screen. Then second phone screen. Finally got in-person interview. Lots of esoteric questions. Didn't seem to focus much on "real life" experiences. They've gone Jim Jones on all the Agile stuff, pair programming, etc., etc. They seem very arrogant over all their success and that you should be honored to just be interviewing there. They have some cool technology but seems like there is little independence for developers.
