Interviewed Jun 2011 in The Woodlands, TX (took 1 week)
I applied for the job online, though one of my parents does work far removed from this position in the company, I still got the call of my own merits--before my parent's "favors" were ever called in. I received a call from one of the members of the team I would be working on (who it turns out was the person I'd be replacing). She gave me a brief phone screen, why I was looking, explaining about the position, etc. That evening, she sent me an Excel skills exercise, writing exercises and several pages of behavioral and situational interview questions. They were looking to move quickly to fill the position, so I turned everything in the next day and she called to schedule an interview the next afternoon.
At the onsite manager I met with Girl 1, another Team Member, and the Supervising manager. Basic interview questions, and some personal things as they were really looking for a good "personality fit" for their tight-knit team that sort of stands alone, functionally, in the company.
The next day, the HR specialst (first time I'd heard from HR!) called to offer me the position. I accepted, but asked to negotiate a little bit on Salary and possibly relocation help. Also to negotiate start date because I would have to relocate and they had asked me to start in 13 days. See "Why I declined offer" -- srince there is no choice for HR and Manager got their wires crossed and then went on radio silence for a week and then retracted my offer.

Reason for Declining
The HR specialist took my requests to the hiring manager, and some feelings got hurt. Apparently, the hiring manager was insisting that she had made a firm salary offer to me during the interview (not true--we only talked "range"). I apologized for the confusion and the recruiter and I agreed to take 24 hours and regroup. I did really want the position. 24 hours and a couple of messages later left with HR's voicemail and I haven't heard an answer back at all. EDIT until today when I got a curt email from HR retracting my offer. Meanwhile I got a better offer elsewhere, so good riddance.

Interviewed Jan 2008 in Houston, TX (took 2 days)
Pretty casual. Did not need too much prep. Helps to know someone in there. The phone interview was pretty easy, but the 1on1 and group interview lasted over 4 hours. The office is located about 30 miles from downtown so make sure if you want to work there it is advisable that you live in one of the north suburbs

Negotiation Details
There wasnt really need to negotiate, the employment package was well over what was making at the time and well over what I expected them to pay given my experience and lack of licensure.

Interviewed Apr 2010 in The Woodlands, TX (took 1 week)
I saw the position advertised for a few months on CareerBuilder. I met all the listed criteria and applied online. No response, per my expectations. Did a little better research, found the recruiting e-mail address, e-mailed my resume. Received a phone call that week wanting to set up a phone interview. Phone interview was with an HR Assistant, I believe, and it definitely revealed why they are having difficulty filling the position. She kept asking me to repeat my answers, as there was too much background noise on her end. She also kept giggling through the entire conversation. All the questions were targeted towards requisition volume - how many positions have I filled and how fast. I explained that I worked for a much smaller employer and so metrics would have to be translated accordingly - this was apparently lost on her. I finally asked if I could e-mail the information she wanted - so she sent me an e-mail explaining the information she was looking for. I provided it and she still did not understand it. At this point, I was continuing the process out of pure curiosity - had they asked for an in person interview, I would have declined. I guess I was too confusing in my communication - when I did follow up I received a "thanks but no thanks" response. Then, two days later, I received a phone call from an HR person in Dallas wanting to know if anyone had followed up on my resume???? I guess too many cooks in the kitchen and very little communication. I was unimpressed, and the position is STILL being adverstised for, so I guess they still have not filled it. Big surprise!

Interviewed Oct 2009 in Houston, TX (took 2 months)
Interviewed several times with several different departments. They called my references only to not be offered the position. I did not receive any follow up from HR regarding the positions after sending e-mails and phone calls. Very unprofessional.
