Interviewed Oct 2011 (took 2 days)
Interviewed with multiple members of the team including the hiring manager. Typical interview questions, nothing stands out in my mind as a curve ball type question. I was asked back via email for another round of interviews, however, the scheduler never called as indicated in the note. Followed up with both the hiring manager and scheduler, never received the courtesy of a reply. It was for the best; if they treat interviewees with such discourtesy, I hate to think how they treat employees.

Interviewed Dec 2011 in Austin, TX (took a day)
I was called on a Wednesday and asked to submit my resume for an Inside Sales Rep possition that had just opened up. SolarWinds needed to fill a number of possistions quickly. I got a call later the same day asking if I could come in the next day for an interview. I went in and the HR guy hadnt sent me the itenerary, but that was ok. I had studied up on the company and had alot of information prepared. One of the managers came and got me, He started interviewing me on the elevator. When we got to his office he kind of blind sided me with his first question. How do convince people to make a purchase very quickly. I didnt have a good answer because I dont like pushy sales people, and I dont want to be a pushy sales person. The second manager came in and I got more confortable and started asking alot of questions but I think at that point my fate had been sealed. Never got a response either way on the job offer. It probably wouldnt have been a good fit for either one of us.

Original contact from hiring manager as opposed to recruiter which was positive. Started with telephone interview and then followed up with on-site interviews.

Interviewed Feb 2010 in Austin, TX (took 3 days)
They normally hire at the begining of each quarter, since it is such an intense and competitive environment, you always have new faces every quarter. Don't try to contact them at the end of the month and especially at the end of each quarter. The entire proccess in my case took more than 3 months. It helps if you know an insider.
They start by presenting the company and the details of the position.
Ask you for specific details of past job experiences. In the case of sales, they ask you to explain the funnel sales proccess and if you used salesforce software it's a great advantage.
They will go deeper in the interview.
They will ask you specific questions about:
Innovation - Do you think outside the box?
Background - still working? Why left or want to leave?
Motivation - three must important things in your present job.
Values - Are you successfull? How do you measure success?
Mistakes?
Performance - Are you doing a good or great job?
Teamwork - How do you inspire others?
At the end, they will ask you if you have any questions. They will take notes of your questions and it is important that you ask the right questions.
Take 10 expressos before you go.
GOOD LUCK! IT IS A GREAT COMPANY.

Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
Painless. They said what their salary range was. I said "I'll take the top end", and they gave it to me. I didn't really have to negotiate. Their range was actually higher than I was anticipating.
Other Details
I Applied Online and the interview consisted of a Phone Interview, a 1:1 Interview, a Group/Panel Interview, an IQ/Intelligence Test, a Skills Test and a Background Check.
