Interviewed Jan 2011 in Rancho Cucamonga, CA (took 2 months)
Was contacted by HR representative and asked a few pre-interview questions. HR representative scheduled one on one interview for following day. Interview consisted of two individuals. One HR representative from Georgia and one HR representative from site. Interview consisted of many questions regarding experience and skills. Went over resume and was asked what did I know about the company? Overall interview went well and got called back 1 month and a half later. Delay was due to holiday season. Office and personnel seemed pleasant.

Interviewed Feb 2011 in Carrollton, GA (took 5 days)
Applied on line through an agency. After the agency screens your experiences, you are directed to submit your resume and agency confirmation to the HR admin via e-mail. Although, they prefer you to physically go into the office to fill-out an application--paper application about 7 pages. What a dinosaur! I submitted my information via e-mail and was later sent a paper application via United States Postal Service. Who does that in 2011?! After reviewing the application, to be had written, ( who own a type-writer in 2011?) I sent the HR person an e-mail regarding some details about the position (not defined in the job description) and I received no response. After 10 day, I received an e-mail asking me to call for answers to my questions. i DECLINED TO FURTHER PURSUE MY INTEREST IN THE POSITION.

Interviewed Aug 2008 (took a day)
I was interviewed by managers from different groups, they were all very sharp but friendly. They gave me an introduction of the company and the position requirements, asked my background, skills, and projects I had worked on, gave me a tour in the office, and had a lunch together. Overall it was a very pleasant experience. I received a hiring package couple days later.

Interviewed Aug 2008 in Boston, MA (took 1 week)
Submitted resume initially but was not immediately contacted. Received form letter thanking me for my interest in the organization and that my resume would be kept on file should any additional opportunities arise. Received a call for another role they were creating accepted the offer of an interview. The recruiting process went smoothly, everyone was courteous and knowledgeable. Was told that they would be in contact if they were interested in flying me out for one on one interviews. I did not hear back from them.
