Interviewed Mar 2010 in Miami, FL (took 1 week)
I applied for the position through the company's website. After reviewing my resume, I was invited for a one on one interview that lasted close to 45 minutes. In the interview we went over my past achievements and responsibilities and what I was looking for in my next job. After the interview it was determined that I was probably not qualified enough for this position.

Interviewed Jun 2011 (took 4 months)
I originally applied through a job posting on HCareers. I was contacted approximately a week to two weeks later by a recruiter from HR. This initial contact consisted of him explaining the position to me, the living arrangements, the compensation, etc. He explained, should I still be interested, that he would email me a formal interview request. This was done once the phone call was completed. In the email you are offered to choose 3 phone interview times. I chose one. Approximately 1-2 weeks later this was completed. This was a very standard 45 min phone interview with common situational questions asked- popular in the hospitality field. He also reviewed the compensation, living arrangements, contract period, etc. At the conclusion of the interview he said he would recommend I continue the process should I still be interested. From then I was sent a series of personality, skill, and assessment tests. There were 3 in total, but one would generate the next should I have passed. I was told once I passed all 3 I would then be sent on the next interview, which I was. This was with the original HR recruiter I had already spoken with twice and was a video interview call and occurred approximately 2 weeks after I completed the testing portion. This lasted an hour and was much more form based. He had a sheet of questions that the assessment portion had recommended he ask. From that point he said I would be contacted by the hiring manager for the last portion of the interview process. This is what took the longest amount of time. The hiring manager seemed to be a senior level employee who was very busy and also had vacation planned close to the time I was to be interviewed. Due to various delays it took nearly a month to interview with him. During the delays he sent me another test to take. Once I spoke to him he asked me 2 questions that that test had recommended and then made me the offer. The following day I was contacted by the HR recruiter who made the formal offer along with offer letter and various other new hire paperwork. I signed and filled out everything sent to me and sent it back with all requested documents. At this point the medical is asked to be done. I had that done, completed, and all relevant material approved within two weeks of the original offer letter. Once that was completed I contacted the HR recruiter and was told I would be hearing from a scheduler for my travelling information. I originally applied for the position in April and it is now mid July. I spoke to the HR recruiter yesterday and was asked if I could be ready to travel in two weeks, but have yet to receive formal information on these travel plans. The entire process is extremely drawn out and there is very little information given out unless you call and ask directly.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
There is no room to negotiate. I was told that because of my qualifications and test scores I was given the top salary they are permitted to pay, which my recruiter said he had never done. There is a range that they are very up front about that your salary will fall within. If I had been given a figure toward the middle or bottom I may have been able to negotiate or have at least tried. But because I was already offered the peak I did not attempt it.
Other Details
The interview consisted of a Phone Interview, a 1:1 Interview, an IQ/Intelligence Test, a Skills Test, a Personality Test, a Drug Test and a Background Check.

Interviewed May 2011 (took 1 week)
EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED WITH THEIR INABILITY TO COMMUNICATE INTERNALLY.
I had a phone with the Director of Marketing and Communications, who told me at the beginning of the conversation that she only had 5 minutes because she was "so busy." What a great way to start off an interview that I was excited for all day! Then day later, I received an email from a recruiter informing me that they would review my resume and get back to me... Weird, because I had already had a phone interview. Then today (5/24), I received a call from the recruiter who asked me what my salary requirements were, and informed me that I was getting a second interview. So I've been excited all day, and awaiting the call from the hiring manager about scheduling my second interview. THEN, all of a sudden, I just now get an email stating that I was NOT selected for the interview process! Seriously? HOW RUDE!

Interviewed May 2010 in Miami, FL (took 2 days)
Was called I'n for an interview after applying thru the company's website. The process was pretty standard. Initial phone interview with the recruiter followed by an In person interview with two staff members. If all went well you are then invited to a third round of interview with the hiring manager.

Interviewed Feb 2011 in Miramar, FL (took a day)
Spoke directly with the Hiring Manager. Person was very pleasant to speak with. Lasted over 30 minutes on phone. Was not able to obtain a direct answer about a position, but person said that I was strong candidate that could be asset to company. I followed up again after 3 weeks. I'm still waiting to see if I receive that magical phone call. However, I doubt it.

Interviewed Feb 2008 in Miami, FL (took 4+ weeks)
It was not as difficult as I expected. Everything is very political in a large corporation such as this and everyone knows everyone in the industry. It is the type of job where if you know someone you will get hired. So it is better to be a good net-worker within this org than a good interviewer.
