Interviewed Oct 2011 (took 4 months)
First was a solicited invite to a personal interview, it was held at the college career center and was a polite upfront conversation. I met with the manager of the sales engineer team, my impression was I would work well with him. However, the interviewer felt I my technical skills had more to offer to the smart grid area and he would give me a strong recommendation to that department. I was contacted two weeks later and requested to take a pre-screening psychology exam called "The Achiever". FYI persons's with Learning disabilities may have issues with this method. About 1 to 2 weeks after I was sent an email explaining a answer to move on or not would be given in mid December. Received a email in Feb. Typical unneeded drawn out rejection email " we get so many applicants, we were so impressed with you, etc...", and half way down is the answer.

Interviewed Jan 2012 in Rosario, Cavite (Philippines) (took 3 days)
My interview started when I got a call from their recruitment manager. I was first interviewed by HR representative and I was scheduled with a phone interview with the hiring manager. After less than a month, I got a call to set-up a face-to-face interview with the hiring manager, and the VP for HR. It turned out positive and I was scheduled for an interview with their VP for Purchasing. The interview process I can say is very professional and the hiring manager took time to explain the open position and his expectation. This helped a lot in my decision making if I want to proceed with this employer.

Interviewed Feb 2009 (took 3 weeks)
The interview process is fairly standard from my experience. It starts with a phone screen from HR, and if that goes well, you'll get set up with a hiring manager phone screen or onsite interview. Typically, if it's an onsite interview you'll meet with about three or four other managers in your department. If you make it through those interviews, the hiring manager will typically set up one final interview with his direct manager. After that, the offer will come pretty quickly. Sometimes there is difficulty with scheduling, and internal deadlines, so the process can drag on, but in general, an expectation of about three weeks is fair.

Interviewed Oct 2011 (took a day)
Only got to the HR interview which was very stress-free in my opinion. They only asked what kind role you usually play in teams/groups projects. The interviewer was really friendly and asked me the usual stuff like what were my strong and weak points. Biggest thing they were looking for is if you are willing to relocate. They offer relocation packages which was nice.

Interviewed Nov 2011 in Chicago, IL (took 2 weeks)
The process was a joke. The hiring manager had his assistant print out a list of standard interview questions to ask me. (I'm a current employee and have worked for this hiring manager for 4 years)
None of the questions asked were relevant to the job that I applied for. I'm sure other departments are better, but this one is led by a very self centered manager who really doesn't care about the employees in his department.
Position remains vacant...
