Interviewed Jun 2010 in Phoenix, AZ (took a day)
I applied for a position I saw on Indeed.com. I was contacted about 2 weeks later to set up a phone interview. I had the phone interview with a panel of 6 people. Each person asked at least one question and I had about 15 overall I answered.

Interviewed May 2008 in Charlotte, NC (took 4 months)
Very laidback interview and very slow process. Questions were simple and straightforward since it was entry level. They weren't necessarily looking for any expertise.

Not much room for negotiation as an entry level employee

Interviewed Feb 2009 in Merritt Is, FL (took 2 days)
Seems like a great company, I had a great interview.......... I thought. Sat down with couple of 1st and 2nd line managers and was asked several questions about the in's and out's of inspecting launch facilities, hypergolic fuels, supplied air breathing breathing equipment (SCAPE etc) and several other familiar GSE type things. I'm more of an actual vehicle inspector but have delt with everything they brought up in some manner or another. I thought I had it nailed as I walked out of there an hour later. But the guy called me back on the phone the next Monday and caught me at a bad time. I stuttered and stammered on the phone as I was distracted. When he asked me to clarify a DUI from 10 years ago. Seemed to me he wanted to get a feel for if I might be a problem child. I should have told him I was busy and needed to call back. Instead I think I just sounded like a complete noob and actually even exacerbated his concerns. I think could have probably set him at ease with the whole issue had I been at ease myself. Both the guys were pretty nice, it seemed like a straight forward interview. I brought copies of my resume and was glad I did as all they had was my online app. It was mine to lose and I did.... I was pretty bummed. Sounded like a pretty damn good opportunity....Good luck.. Be prepared and Relax....Says the guy who didn't get the job

Interviewed Jan 2010 (took 4+ weeks)
I had phone interview, the recruiter asked some basic tech questions and then was called for onsite interview. This was a group interview with 5 people, i thought it went well. Afterwards, contacted the recruiter who kept delaying saying they will decide by end of next week and will let me know. Never heard from her back, I called her to find out if any decision was made, she was probably not expecting my call. In a hurry she said she is meeting today and will let me know either way by next day early morning. It's been more than a week now, I guess her next day early morning hasn't come yet. Extremely disappointed, they should atleast have courtesy to let the interviewees know, it doesnt matter if they were selected or not. Just one line courtesy note of sorry, you were not selected for this position... would suffice... You dont expect such unprofessional behaviour from such big organizations

Interviewed Sep 2008 in Houston, TX (took a day)
Met individually with four or five other employees/managers, as well as an HR person who explained benefits. Several days before the interview, I was asked that I would give a short presentation about relevant topic of my choosing. Most of the people I had spoken with earlier, and several others attended the presentation. Everyone was quite pleasant, did not grill me or test my knowledge, but this was an entry-level position.

Interviewed Aug 2007 (took 2 weeks)
This was an 8 hour interview for an entry-level (or slightly higher) position. I had several one on one interviews and two group interviews with the people I would have worked with. I also gave a brief presentation (30 minutes or an hour, I can't remember). Overall, everybody was very pleasant, and some people seemed to love their jobs while others did not.

Interviewed Sep 2009 (took 2 days)
After several emails, finally got a phone interview, which went well. Just fairly general stuff. I was told at the end that they would call me back within a week. I never got a call back, even after I called back to check up and my phone calls were never returned.
