Interviewed Apr 2012 in Dayton, OH (took 2 weeks)
The hiring process here is long and drawn out. If you don't do well on the first screening of tests, they won't offer you a job. The people are very nice, but it's clear they decide whether you qualify based on these ridiculous assessments. In my opinion, if you have other options, I would try those first.

Interviewed Jan 2012 in Dayton, OH (took 2 weeks)
R&R contacted me via email. I had to schedule a test to take at once of their offices. After the test, they had two HR people interview me. After the test and interview, they had me fill out an "about me" form on their computers.
I received an email a week after letting me know they did not choose me to go any further (technical interview).

Interviewed May 2011 in Dayton, OH (took 1+ week)
About a week after I applied, I received an email asking to do a Skype interview. During the interview, we discussed things such as salary, location, and job description. It took about 20 minutes. About 2 weeks later, I received a phone call asking if I could do a face to face interview at the Dayton location. I agreed and 3 days later I had my interview.
The interview consisted of taking an hour long IQ test, a tour of the facilities, and an interview with one of the managers discussing my experience. It was very laid back and informal, and so I really enjoyed it.
I was told I would hear back from them in the next couple of days. I have yet to hear back from them, but hopefully I will soon.

Interviewed Feb 2011 in Houston, TX (took 1 week)
Received a phone interview then was told to do a bunch of tests, before which I came here to see how bad the company actually is, at which point I didn't really want to continue on with the application so I mentioned my salary requirements were going to be the entry level average of my field (which was considerably higher then what they paid, and only what I was willing to work with them for) , about 45k where they usually do 35k according to this site, and shortly after received an email telling me they were not going to follow through with the process.

Interviewed Dec 2010 in Houston, TX (took 1+ week)
I started off by applying online, within 24 hours I got an e-mail to schedule a date to take an intelligence and personality test. I did a lot of research on the company and found that there was a lot of turmoil with the way the business was run, but it was a good starting point for entry level programmers.
The day I went to the company's location for testing I took an aptitude test, a personality test and went through 3 interviews. I spent about 5 hours there in total. The aptitude test was not very difficult, but in the problem solving section there were definitely a lot more problems than could be solved in the allotted time. The personality test required that you do not submit many middle of the road answers, and they wanted a yes or no to questions that definitely required explanation and clarification. I think those types of personality tests can never paint an accurate picture of who a person is. In reality most situations aren't an agree, disagree or maybe.
Anyway, immediately after my test, I was asked to wait and go through the interview process. I had an interview with a recruiter which went very well - she was very friendly, there were lots of laughs and she asked basic questions not pertaining to skills.
Subsequently, I had 2 more interviews with people who worked in the software development department. These interviews definitely included skills questions. At that point I had no professional experience, all my programming had been school or personal projects. So I explained the details of those and how they were implemented. It seemed like they were trying to put on a good cop, bad cop routine. The second interviewer was very intimidating, brash and showed cold facial expressions. The third interviewer was very friendly and much more interactive and they both asked the same types of questions. My guess is that situation was used to see how a person would handle different personality types.
At the end, I did not get a job offer and I can't guess why. I did well with the testing, and thought the interviews went well also. I wish companies gave feedback and reasons for not hiring a person.

Interviewed Nov 2009 in Houston, TX (took a day)
I met up with one of the development managers at a recruiting session at a restaurant. He wanted me to explain some of my projects in my portfolio and he went over what the job consisted of. He was impressed with me and he told me to schedule a phone interview with them. The phone interview was just general work questions that included whether or not I smoke and would it bother me if I had to do a drug test on a consistent basis. After that they told to go to their website and schedule a time to take their assessment test. The test contained a personality test, math, mechanical interest, and a logic test. The math and logic test were timed and the rest were at your own pace. Then I had to fill out an application, which included a consent form to allow them to check your credit history. They had me wait 15 minutes after that and then they let me go. I got a rejection email a week later.

Interviewed Nov 2010 in Houston, TX (took 3 months)
Interview was very lengthy. Consisted of several tests and phone interviews before being called on-site. Did more tests on-site, then had three 1-on-1 interviews with a developer, the VP of Systems Development, and the Director of Systems Development. People seemed nice and interview was pretty basic. 1-2 weeks later got an offer for $40,000, my absolute minimum. Counter-offered at $45,000. Thought it wasn't unreasonable, since it is still way below industry average, and my original request was $50,000. However, after the counter-offer they decided to rescind the offer altogether. Not given any explanation. I would not recommend counter-offering.

Interviewed Oct 2010 in Houston, TX (took 1 week)
I applied for the software developer position after seeing their postings on my university career services right after graduation. I sent them my resume through email, 2 days later received an email to call their recruitment office. When I called I was asked a series of standard screening questions by a very bored sounding recruiter. I think as long as you say you are a non-smoker you are asked to come to the office for the next step.
At the office I took 3 tests, letter sequencing, shapes/pattern recognition and word problems which I passed very easily since I have a knack for puzzles and IQ tests.
Right after I finished, the admin at the desk asked me to stay for an interview. The interview was by an HR rep who mainly asked more background questions. After that interview, they asked me to take an ethics test mostly about stealing and drugs.
After the ethics test they asked if I could stay for another interview with a manager or supervisor. He asked some questions from my resume and experience on programming, but nothing really technical. After that interview, they asked me to stay for yet another interview with the VP of business applications. He went into even more detail with my resume and ultimately decides whether or not to hire or not.
The interview process was very fast, streamlined and impersonal, I had the impression they just do mass recruitment and send as many people through the grinder as possible. Ultimately, everyone and every test involved in the process is just screening for the final VP interview. The interviews with supervisors and recruiters are just filtering applicants for the VP and its up to the VP to decide on the hiring. I think they hire anyone with a degree that can get past the tests and has a personality the VP likes and thats it.

Interviewed Oct 2010 in Dayton, OH (took 5 days)
The testing was very thorough. There was an IQ test. Ethics test, number sequencing test. I think the pre testing included about 5 tests total.. then came interview day and more testing. The testing was harder at location. This included an algebra word test which had more problems than probably anyone can finish in the time allotted. There was also a spatial relationships test. The third written test was group of letter sequences in which you had to determine the next letter in the sequence.
After testing comes the interview/s. I don't know if they pre screen after the testing.. before doing any interviews or if they interview everyone. The first interview is done by a recruiter. Basic stuff about what you want to do, what you have done.. This appears to be to get a general idea of the type of person you are and if you pass this part, You may be asked to fill out an aplication that asks such things as what is the criticism you hear most, family member occupations etc.. . A similar question was asked previously on the initial application about what is your greatest weakness.
The pay level appears to be lower than industry average but it is in Dayton which has had a lot of job losses recently. There are other significant benefits of this company. The location is great and they have a work out center. They have mentoring and assist in furthering education. The people there seem friendly and well mannered.
