Interviewed Apr 2010 in Chicago, IL (took 2 days)
Entry level position for an engineering-type position. Long phone interview with typical questions. Three in-person interviews at their Chicago corporate offices on the same day. Nothing out of the ordinary. I was there for maybe three hours. Did not get the job.

Interviewed May 2010 (took 2 weeks)
I received an e-mail from a recruiter that they were interested and to go fill out application and take assessment test and they will call me. I got a call back a week later to set up a in person interview. I interviewed in panel interview, it lasted about 1 hour. I just got a call back to take the five our test and they are in the process of doing the background check. I am a little concerned with the employment verification because 1 employer is no longer in business and has not been for five years and the other one closed his doors and sold the rights to the business. So I am not sure how they will verify it. Any body familiar with type of situation...So far so good with interview process. Very Optimistic

Interviewed May 2010 in Chicago, IL (took 1+ week)
After applying to numerous open positions that were posted on the U.S. Cellular website, I received a call from a recruiter at the company. After a 10 to 15 minute phone interview to review my qualifications and experience, she sent me an email with links to three online assessments. After I completed these, she called me again to let me know the results were good. A few days later, I got a call from the store manager inviting me to come in for a physical interview taking place later today. Hopefully I will be offered a position.

Interviewed Feb 2008 (took a day)
It was a very short to the point interview that did not really produce a good job match for me and therefore I was not interested in the job.

Interviewed Jan 2009 in Des Moines, IA (took 4+ weeks)
My interview process strated by filling out different forms and questionaires sent by the company to make sure I was a good fit for their culture. I also had to do a drug test. This was followed by a 1:1 interview. This process was about 2-3 weeks and I was offered a position about 2 weeks later.

Interviewed Jan 2010 in Nashua, NH (took 2 days)
I filled out the online application and was asked to list a time to receive a telephone interview for the next week. I was on the phone for about an hour, answering very generic, customer service related questions. The interview felt very cold and standard, and I didn't feel like I was able to really touch upon my strengths and past experiences. It was more about how I would handle some vague, potential experience, which I always find ridiculous, because you can never tell how you'll handle something until it happens.
I was then asked to take a personality test which was borderline offensive. There were several questions on this test that felt like a psychological evaluation to determine if I was depressed or bipolar. I felt uncomfortable answering these questions, and I'm unsure if these questions were legal to ask. I'm under the impression that discrimination based on disabilities is against the law, and depression and other mental disorders are considered disabilities.
I then had to fill out all sorts of online consent forms, complete with a seven year work and residence history. The amount of background checks they were doing for a simple greeting position baffled me.
Four hours later, I was finally done with the interviews and online nonsense, only to be passed for the next step. I was not impressed by the lack of respect for my personal time. Being expected to waste hours on their evaluations and paperwork, only to be denied a real shot at a face to face interview was very rude and inconsiderate. I'm appauled by the lack of value they put on the time I could've spent applying to other companies. I think it's a shame that corporations are using such impersonal, inaccurate procedures to determine who will thrive at a job.

Interviewed Jun 2009 in Chicago, IL (took 2 months)
Phone interview focussed on experience and technology screening. 1:1 Interview focussed on behavioral and situational questions.
Job description communicated by the recruiter or posted on job portal is not a match to the environment the candidate is going to work on.
