Interviewed Feb 2010 (took a day)
Fill out a form
Wrote cover letter, sent resume
Background checks submitted
health checks submitted
20-30 minute 1:1 interview
The main thing that stands out for me, is that they never followed up on the interview! I assumed it was b/c of the 2010 hiring freeze, but I finally contacted them the week b/f school started when they ended the freeze and it turns out they misplaced ALL OF MY PAPERS. I was in the computer thankfully, but they lost track of my application. I ended up getting a job day b/f school started. Bad way to start the year.

Interviewed Dec 2008 in Philadelphia, PA (took 2 months)
The resume sat in a pile with others until a few days before Christmas; I followed up on Dec. 18th and got a phone-call with-in two hours and was told to come in and interview the next day. A high GPA got me out of a written exam; I was given a 30-40 minute oral one with a two-panel tape-recorded interview. I got a phone-call that nite at almost midnight telling me I had an offer.

Interviewed Sep 2008 (took a day)
I entered the building and was asked to answer a short answer essay question, a case study and how I would handle the specific problem. I was given 30 minutes to answer. Following the essay I was led into a conference room and interviewed by a group of people again focusing on my experience. The interview process was informal and casual.
