Interviewed Jan 2011 in Lenexa, KS (took 3 weeks)
A recruiter found my information on Monster and called me up to review my resume and then asked if I would be interested in a face to face with the sales manager. I took the interview and found the interview process interesting. The entire interview I felt like they were selling me on the job and company vs me selling them on my abilities. No real hard questions or any behavioral questions. In fact I asked 90% of the questions just because I kept feeling like the interview was going no where unless I directed it.

Reason for Declining
The transactional nature of their sales approach was not how I like to sell. They seem to play the numbers game that if they make 100 calls, they might get 30 appts and 3 sales out of those appts. I like a more strategic sales approach building relationships.
Other Details
I got the interview through a Recruiter and the interview consisted of a 1:1 Interview.

Interviewed Sep 2009 in Birmingham, AL (took a day)
First they let me wait in the lobby for nearly an hour with no apology and then sat me in a very low chair across from interviewers desk. The interviewer was arrogant and condescending and asked a lot of questions like "why do you want to work here, Why should we hire you, why aren't you working now, What do you think you are worth and so on". I wish I could do it over again and cancel the interview midway . I later met an x-employee and he confirmed my suspicions that they were not quality people and he said that he was given all of the worst assignments while guys in the click sat around and did very little. Good Riddance to them.

Interviewed Aug 2011 (took 1+ week)
From the beginning the interview was normal and good. The recruiter was great and actually gave much more information and help than the manager who I interviewed with second did. After the initial interview i met with a manager who wouldnt really answer any of my questions and kept giving me the runaround. When i asked what the average pay for my territory would be i got the answer of you could make anywhere from 20k to 600k, thats just ridiculous. I didnt enjoy the second round at all and ended up not even trying to close at the end of the interview.

Interviewed May 2010 in Shah Alam (Malaysia) (took a day)
I applied through an online job search website. Ricoh HR called me after a week and arranged for an interview. When I got to the place I was given a form to fill in my details and also a personality test. The test was pretty short and straightforward. I was then told to wait for the interviewer to come. The interview mostly consisted of behavioral questions. The interviewer was friendly. The interview took around half an hour. After that I was told I would be contacted if I got the position but I was not contacted.

Interviewed Feb 2010 (took 4 weeks)
After submitting for the position, I was contacted via phone by HR out of headquarters in NJ. They coordinated an in-person interview with the local office. They occupy the entire building which is relatively new and very secure with restricted access, but the front door is not obvious. The interview consisted of targeted selection questions in a room right behind the reception desk. The manager conducting the interview forgot to turn off his phone. The questions are what you might expect, but make sure you research the company because they are more than what you think.

Reason for Declining
After 4 weeks from the initial contact, they still had not made a decision. Besides being a sweatshop mentalitiy, if they are that unorganized to fill a position that they indicated was very necessary I'm not sure that the environment would be suitable.

Interviewed Feb 2010 in Indianapolis, IN (took 1+ week)
I applied on-line to Ricoh as a recent college graduate (December 2009) and was contacted within a couple of days from a recruiter from their headquarters in Cincinnati. He asked me a few questions about my resume, and then set-up a interview with the office manager the next day. The person I interviewed with was primarily concerned with previous sales experience, and asked questions pertaining to competitiveness, confidence, work style, and ambition. After speaking with the office manager for a little over an hour I was asked to comeback for a second interview with the sales manager I would be working for. I was introduced to him, and was a little put off because he barely spoke or even looked in my direction. This could have been due to the fact that I am an Indiana University grad and he graduated from Purdue. Other than that the rest of the office seemed to be very pleasant, and was located in a business park in a nice area of town. I was informed that I would if I received the position I would be in charge of a territory with accounts already in place, but would be primarily working on prospecting for new business. They explained compensation to me as being a base salary of 30,000 dollars and commission on top of that with bonus incentives. Seems to be a good place to work however they have just purchased another company IKON, and might be getting rid of duplicate positions when they actually merge.
