Interviewed Jan 2012 in Atlanta, GA (took a day)
Got a phone call to verify my eligibility and schedule an interview. Interviewed later that week with a small panel. Fairly easy interview, mostly talking about the position and how good of a fit I would be.

Interviewed Sep 2011 in Atlanta, GA (took 3 weeks)
Submitted my resume by way of a staffing firm. Waited several weeks to hear back from them Once interview was scheduled, met with hiring manager about a week later. Very nice group of people. Questions had to do with Instructional Design experience. They do require Captivate 5 experience. Provided a portfolio of work samples which they kept for review later.
Note: They only hire Instructional Designers as contractors through staffing agencies.

Interviewed Sep 2011 in Atlanta, GA (took 4+ weeks)
1. Applied online and received a call back from an HR rep for a phone interview.
2. Completed phone interview with HR a few days later. Scheduled in person interview at HQ the next week.
3. This is where things got strange. I was supposed to meet with someone from HR but she wasn't there because she decided to go out to lunch during my appt. Additionally, the 2 people from finance I was supposed to meet with weren't there. I ended up meeting with 2 other people from finance and the interview was out of the ordinary. They didn't ask about my resume at all and one of the guys kept making negative references about liberals. I couldn't tell if he didn't like liberals or if he was a liberal and was mocking conservatives. It was uncomfortable and figured they didn't like me and I wouldn't get a call back.
4. Got a call back from HR the next day that they liked me and wanted to setup a personality test so I took the test the next week.
5. After taking the test they informed me I had an in-person interview with the director in 5 minutes. Not a huge deal but I do have a job so it makes it awkward to be gone for 4 hours during the day when you tell your boss you're leaving for 1 hour.
6. Had a panel interview a couple weeks later and passed.
7. Received offer which was well below what I make now. I told them what I made in the initial phone interview and they never said their offer would be lower than what I was currently making. Also, I talked to a few current employees and the reviews were, let's just say, less than positive. They pretty much agreed with all of the negative reviews on here. I passed.

Interviewed Jul 2010 in Atlanta, GA (took 3 days)
The recruiter was very informed. This was not a phone interview to fluff through with basic knowledge of the material. They wanted detailed examples of how marketing analysis was used to construct a thorough campaign. If If you don't personally have experience with the statistics side of marketing in a previous position prepare a full case study to use for your interview. They wanted examples of multiple campaigns.

One behavioral interview question was- Tell me about a problem you had to solve. What was the issue? What steps did you take to resolve it? What was the outcome?

Interviewed May 2010 in Atlanta, GA (took a day)
I received a phone call from their recruiter asking me to attend a day of interviews on a date that conflicted with my current job. Although the recruiter committed to working with the panel to come up with an alternative date, she did not follow up or reschedule. Even if they decided not to proceed with me, I would expect the courtesy of a phone call or even an e-mail telling me so.

Interviewed May 2010 in Atlanta, GA (took 1 week)
I first completed a brief phone screen with HR and was invited into the corporate office for a face-to-face interview. My interview was scheduled for a Monday morning and on Wednesday the week before, the HR person emailed me to say that the time was "likely going to change" and that she would confirm when she knew for sure. I never heard from her again. On Monday morning, I tried calling HR, and I also tried calling the hiring manager directly, though I'd never spoken to her prior. Hearing nothing from anyone, I showed up at the original time and after going through security, they called the hiring manager who admitted that the time had indeed changed and asked if I could come back in an hour and a half.
Sure.
I arrived back and came to the security desk where my badge and information was supposed to waiting for me. The woman running the desk appeared completely stoned and was very rude to me when she couldn't find my information. Apparently they originally used my full name in the system rather than the shortened version and she got flustered. All this despite the fact that my badge (with my printed face) was sitting right there. Finally, the gentleman beside her took over and figured it out in a matter of seconds.
The interview itself was fine. I met with the hiring manager and a Director and both were professional and appeared to be genuinely nice people.
After the interview, I heard nothing for two weeks. I had followed up the interview with "Thank You" cards mailed directly to both the interviewers and still had not heard anything. Two weeks post-interview, I sent the hiring manager a quick email asking if she'd received my note and saying that if I could answer any questions, to please feel free to ask.
Literally within ten minutes I received a call from HR (the same lady who never followed up with the change in interview scheduling) saying that I had not been selected to move forward with interviews and that I could "...stop sending email to the hiring manager."
Angry? Yes. I had sent one email. Just one. I'm sure that the hiring manager did not ask this HR person to say this to me, but that's what was said and frankly, this ruined what was an otherwise good experience.

Interviewed Apr 2010 in Atlanta, GA (took 6 weeks)
Saw opportunity on school career site. Submitted resume and cover letter on company site. Received call from HR representative about setting up a first-round phone interview. Had phone interview, which focused on questions around how I broke problems down and how I analyzed and interpreted data. Was invited to corporate headquarters for final round interview day with a group of other candidates. Interview day consisted of three 45 minute 1:1 interviews, one written case and one assessment test. Overall it was a very pleasant day, complete with a tour of the building, a relaxing lunch and shuttle back to our hotel. However, all of the good vibes I felt after that day dissipated in the coming weeks. There was zero follow up from the company for over 5 weeks. While I recognize they were interviewing other candidates over a series of weeks, and that they were going to need the "2 to 3 weeks" they mentioned to get back to us, the complete lack of transparency was unsettling and, quite frankly, unprofessional, especially in comparison to the other companies I've interviewed with. When I finally received their answer, it was in a letter mailed to my apartment that was addressed to the wrong person in the salutation line. Overall, I left the entire experience disillusioned with UPS, which was unfortunate given how excited I was about the company, the people and the effort they are clearly putting into expanding the size and influence of the marketing organization.
