Very Easy Interview

Overall Positive Experience

Received and Accepted Offer

Interviewed Aug 2009 in San Leandro, CA (took 1+ week)

The reach-out initial conversation was pretty clean and simple - they were just asking basic questions aroundmy skills and apptitude to see if i met the qualifications. My background with peoplesoft is fairly extensive so it was an easy discussion.
There was one phone interview and then I filled out the application and sent it in - the face to face was when i dropped off the application and then was made an offer on the spot. In my opinion it looked like they were slightly despereate or maybe it was the California interview style - slightly relaxed.

Negotiation Details

Yes - negotiation was simple I told them what i wanted and they gave it to me - it also made me think I should have asked for more. Kinda like putting you house on the market and it sells day one....

Difficult Interview

Overall Neutral Experience

Interviewed and No Offer

Interviewed Nov 2011 in Reno, NV (took 4+ weeks)

It was a little crazy - called night before to schedule me for a morning interview - a little odd but maybe part of the plan to determine flexibility. They seemed to have a good team of interviewers with good situational questions.
The hardest question was - "if you were a bird, what kind of bird would you be? Then the follow-up was so you are a (x) bird what types of animals might pray on you"
Rather odd - but interesting dialog.

Easy Interview

Overall Positive Experience

Interviewed and No Offer

Interviewed Jun 2010 (took 4+ weeks)

Contacted by HR for a phone interview. Very professional. Took a personality test on line. Had two face to face interviews with hiring manager. Very nice group of people. Last step was a meeting with the GM and that is where I did not get the call to return. I liked the product and the company and wanted to get an offer. Not sure if I would have accepted the position, but for as far as I went, I felt good about the fit.
