Interviewed Dec 2011 (took 6 weeks)
I was contacted by an executive recruiter. There were 2 phone screens. One with the outside recruiter, then one with the inside recruiter. I had an initial 1 on 1 interview with a key influencer to the hiring executive. Then a half day of 1 on 1s, followed by a full day of 1 on 1s. The process was a little on the slow side. I've seen better, but I've also seen worse.
Reason for Declining
Overall I was impressed but I wasn't sure they had the conviction to make the transformation they needed to do to succeed. But the final straw was actually the head of HR (Delfi Nieta). She really turned me off to the company. She wasn't impressive at all. A clear example of being promoted behind her skills...and she was arrogant to boot. My conclusion was that if the CEO could have someone like her on his staff, it wasn't a place for me.
Other Details
The interview consisted of a Phone Interview and a 1:1 Interview.

Interviewed Feb 2011 in Maynard, MA (took 3+ weeks)
I actually have still not had an interview. This is a strange and badly managed HR department. The recuritement process thus far has been:
- i got an email from one HR person asking me for times for phone interview
- i sent a couple of suggestions.
- no reply.
- i sent a follow up email and left a phone meesage on person's office phone and mobile.
- no reply.
- a week later i called and was directed to another HR person, as the first one said on her voice mail that she is without access to email or phone.
- emailed and left phone messaged to new HR person.
- no respone.
- In the same timeframe, was contacted by 2 sperate executive search agents of 2 different companies- was interviewed by them, and they both found me to be the 'perfect candidate' and they wanted to introduce me to their confidential client. when they revealed the name of Stratus - I told them that I already applied directly and all the above transactions. So, they said they could not introduce me and were very frustrated that the HR department is competing with them on the same assignment, and confusing candidates like me who have still NOT spoken to a hiring manager who probably doens't even know of my candidacy.
I am interviewing with quite a few companies these days, and at the VP level as well. I am just appauled by Stratus's HR / Recruitement performance and worry for their business if this is how the company processes are executed. What a shame.

Interviewed Mar 2008 in Phoenix, AZ (took 3 days)
Met with the hiring manager, met some members of the team, and met the hiring manager 2 days later and he presented me with an offer ($105,000 k/yr). This salary is high for Stratus as I found out later. Stratus is not a very dynamic company. First impressions are usually correct and on my first day I thought "wow what a bunch of fossils that work here" and I was correct as I progressed working there. This company lacked vision, dynamics, and good leaders. The leadership was not even mediocre but flat out terrible. I also met the CEO and was not impressed one bit. I would not recommend this company for people who seek dynamics and advancement opportunities in thier careers. As one employee put it to me, he said that Stratus is like fly paper, you land and you're stuck and he was absolutely true from being ther 10+ years.
Other Details
The interview consisted of a 1:1 Interview, a Group/Panel Interview and a Background Check.
