Interviewed Jan 2012 in Boston, MA (took a day)
I responded to advertistment to a job board posting for a staff accountant. About one week later I was contacted by the hiring manager. After a brief phone conversation to discuss my qualifications, I was invited to come in an interview for the position. The interview was set up the following week. I interviewed with the hiring manager. I was told that I would need to come back for an additional interview with upper management. Since the intreview there has been no contact and response to my follow-up phone call.

Interviewed Jan 2012 in Baton Rouge, LA (took a day)
Received a phone call from the director who asked to see me this week and asked if I could meet the next day. Staff was friendly and laid back.
Arrived at the interview on time. Like other reviewers suggested the director appeared not to have read my resume saying only, "your resume was interesting." She took out a manual which explained how to conduct the interview, but didn't seem to take cues from it at all.
She spoke at length about the job and the clients. She was unable to explain how the company supported employees. Like most companies described benefits as, "good," but benefits it seemed the employer covers very little of, "the benefit," cost.
I was looking for ways in which the company works to retain the employees. The director's answer was what she referred to as, "flex time," which mean if you pulled 45 hours one week, maybe you could come in the late the next Monday. This is not, "flex time," though many employers have corrupted the concept to mean, "you work whenever the work needs to get done," instead of the employee choosing when to work.
I brought up the salary to not waste time as I was sensing the work load wasn't going to be fairly compensated.
Director seemed very dedicated and committed to the company. But unable to offer a competitive salary and benefits in order to maintain profits.
Interview Questions
Reason for Declining
The salary was below market and it seemed over 40 hour a week would be expected but not compensated.
As the company is a, "profit for hire," student loans would not be eligible for forgiveness.
Hours are not flexible, but based on work demand. "Flex time," meant I needed to be flexible. Not that the work hours were flexible for my needs. Big difference.
Poor benefits: No comp time, no paid overtime (expected to work over 40 hours weekly), no car allowance (expected to use car daily, reimbursement for mileage only).
The refusal to put the salary in the job description also seems like poor management as interviewing people who won't take your highest offers is a waste of company money.

Interviewed Feb 2010 in Paducah, KY (took 4 weeks)
My interview began later than scheduled. One of the two individuals conducting the interview spent the majority of the time texting, the work place was in disarray and interviewees presented themselves as less than professional. Follow-up by upper management was slow and communication was poor. Scheduled follow up calls were days later than what was communicated. My references had tried to call multiple times and were concernced about the lack of return phone calls.

Poor. Be persistent because the follow through is poor. Salaries are inconsistent for experience and qualifications.

Interviewed Oct 2011 in Baton Rouge, LA (took 2 weeks)
Initially I was contacted on a Friday morning for the interview. The hiring manager requested an interview and I informed her that I was out of town (on another interview) and could interview Monday. She stated that she really wanted to conduct the interview on Friday when I got back into town. So I accepted since I really was unhappy at my previous job. I arrived to the interview at about 5:30pm and it lasted for about an hour. During this time the interviewer asked me nothing about myself except for mentioning that my experience and education line up with the job. She didn't ask why I applied for the job, what I could bring to the table, my strengths vs weaknesses, etc. She rambled on and on about her case load, additional responsibilities she's taken on, the job requirements ( the only area that made sense) and some company history. She ended the interview asking about salary and I advised her if what my ideal salary would be. She countered that my experience after my graduate degree was the only experience that matters, although this was not in the ad nor mentioned @any point until the salary requirement was discussed. She proposed a salary that was $500.ab ove the minimum which would have placed me @ an even lower salary than my then current pay. She asked if it was acceptable and was informed that we could reach an agreement after a decision was made. I was advised to take an application home and complete it and bring it back on the next day with a copy of my diploma. A week later I received a call to meet her during my workday. I travelled to meet her thinking a decision had been made. However upon arriving I was informed to go straightaway and get a background check completed. I was thinking that I had the job until she mentioed that they were down to two candidates. The really killer part was that the job start date was on 10/17 and she said she would make a decision by 10/14. So there was this absurd notion that I would receive a call for a job offer and inform my current employer the same day that it would be my last day. And that's what she did, she contacted me @ 2:200 pm with a job offer, advising me we'd need to be in a distant city for training on Monday. Sad!
Interview Questions
Reason for Declining
The company representative that I came into contact with was unprofessional, unorganized, and had no common courtesy for others.

Interviewed Oct 2011 (took 2 weeks)
Both face to face interviews consisted of me answering 3 typed pages of interviews. It took a long time but the questions were not very challenging. The interviewers were friendly. The second interview consisted only of situational dilemmas where I had to answer how I would respond.

Interviewed Apr 2011 in Omaha, NE (took 4+ weeks)
I was interviewed twice. First time I interviewed for the art therapy position. Second time I interviewed for the Direct Support position. A calm measured friendly demeanor seems to be best for this position. The focus is 100% about the developmentally challenged consumer to be served. It is a relaxed dress position with a lot of responsibility for one on one care with the client.

Interviewed Jan 2010 (took 4+ weeks)
It was a positive experience. Unfortunately, I am a little taken back by THIS experience. The process was introduced by stating that we could join by submitted EITHER a salary, OR an interview review, OR other information. As I continue through the process I feel almost like it is a witch hunt that could lead to information getting back to an organization that you have interviewed with or been employed by.
