Interviewed Dec 2009 in Harrisonburg, VA (took 7 months)
This process took forever and they utilized a top grading process for all positions. People were very dedicated and happy to be working at Rosetta Stone, you could tell they guarded their culture closely. Depending on the position you will interview with several levels above an below you, your references and former employees will be checked and asked for a review of your performance. Be honest in the interview as fuzzy edges are not seen positively. Great place to work, great fast pace once you get started.

Interviewed Jul 2009 in Harrisonburg, VA (took 5 days)
I found the ad for the job on craigslist. I applied by emailing a resume and cover letter. They called me the following week and we set up a phone interview. I was interviewed by four people from Rosetta Stone. They asked me about my experiences overseas and as a journalist. They also questioned my willingness to relocate for the job, as I live about a two-hour driving commute from their offices.

Interviewed Nov 2009 in Harrisonburg, VA (took 6 weeks)
I had a couple of screening phone calls by an HR person. She wasn't overly enthusiastic, obviously firing canned questions at me and typing my responses into a computer. Same questions she had to asked repeatedly I'm sure. After a couple of these brief phone calls that were perhaps 5-10 questions, big generic questions, 'what's your sales technique?', 'why do you wanna work for rosetta stone?', etc. I was slated for a phone interview. Long story short, I had to postpone because I was in a secure location and couldn't use a cell phone. Contacted them 10 days later or so, to remind them that I still wanted to do a phone interview. Fairly certain another applicant had already been hired, even before the scheduling of the first phone interview because I was an employee referral and had inside info. Regardless, official phone interview was 2 vs. 1. I was nervous, first one, and tubed it anyway. I was called a month, month and a half later, and they confirmed I tubed it. Wasn't particularly difficult, I was nervous, should've been better prepared, 2 vs. 1 is harder. Job is sales/customer service over the phone, you need to do well. Sample questions were, 'what's an open-ended question?', 'how would you describe your sense of humor?', 'Time you did really poorly at your job, how did you recover?'. In general, seems to be a company of fairly young, fun people.

Interviewed Jan 2011 (took 2 months)
I applied online, I did not get an answer so I went to the FB page and asked about my resume. I got an answer immediately (within minutes) and got contacted by a recruiter via email within a couple of days. Scheduled the phone interview for a couple of weeks later, did it and a couple of weeks later received an email saying they decided to fill the position with internal candidates. Overall friendly approach.

Interviewed Jan 2011 in Arlington, VA (took 2 months)
I went through 4 phone interviews, and 2 on site interviews. Two of the phone interviews were technical and one included a live programming exercise. The first one site interview was very technical and also included a live programming exercise, and the 2nd interview was a 3 hour Topgrading behavioral interview. I had to pay a pretty high parking fee for both on site interviews for which I was not reimbursed. I heard nothing but positive things from throughout the interview process. A week or two after the last interview I hadn't heard from them and when I reached out they asked for a portfolio, something which isn't really normal in my field. After all of this, they didn't even have the courtesy to call me or email me in person that I was denied. They just sent me a form email. I was floored...

Interviewed Feb 2010 in Arlington, VA (took 1 week)
Odd interview with a recruiter. He seemed to not really know what they were looking for in a candidate or what the position entails. He left the organization a week after the two phone screens and no one from the company continued on with the process. They do not come across as very organized, decisive or serious about hiring for the position in their approach or the 1 year plus in posting of the position (more browsing).
