Negotiation Details – I did not negotiate my salaries.

Interview Details – Applied to the posting through their website and received an email asking for a phone interview 3 days later. Did the phone interview and one week later was offered an on site interview. The on site interview was in Syracuse NY and was fully paid for by the company. Interview was extremely technical and the interviewers showed me electrical schematics and asked what certain components were doing based on the specific setup of the schematic. Interviews lasted all day starting from 8am until 3pm. Day full of interviews with a lunch and work site tour budged into the itenieary. From point of applying to job until on site interview took about a month. 3wks later and I'm still waiting on their decision. Extremely long process.

Interview Details – Application through website and campus recruiting. After being selected, set up an interview time. For this interview, it was a 2 on 1. Following the first interview, a second and final phone interview is scheduled roughly 2 months later.

All behavioral questions, nothing technical.

Interview Details – Applied through career services and was selected for an on campus interview. Standard interview asking to go through my resume and talk about experiences in groups. 3 weeks later I received a call inviting me to their second round at HQ. They reimbursed for travel expenses (though I still haven't gotten the check (6 weeks later) and paid for a room. 2nd interview was all day and included a tour at one of their facilities. There were 2 separate interviews which were with either one or two different interviewers. They said they needed 2-3 weeks before a decision would be made. After 3 weeks I hadn't heard so I followed up and was told they needed another couple of weeks. 3 weeks later i received an email saying I didn't get the job. Interview process was great until they took 6 weeks to give me a decision and after 6 weeks they haven't reimbursed expenses as promised.

Interview Details – Phone interview with hiring manager the interview lasted about 45 minutes, then an in person interview again with manager and his staff. During the in person interview you walk around the site to see what they have done and what the next steps are. Once you are invited in for an in person interview your chances of receiving an offer are fairly good if you have a good interview.

Interview Details – average interviewing process. met with 4 people, both technical and HR. balanced work/life impression.

Interview Details – Treasury Manager and Assistant Manager were in room. They looked at my Resume, and Cover Letters, and they asked me about my background including education and previous job history. It wasnt a formal interview at all. It was really easy, I was expecting it much deeper and in detail, but I felt like it was more of an informal interview where we exchanged our background and what they are looking for. At the end they said they will let contact me if they would need me.

Interview Details – I initially applied to this program through their online portal at the end of November 2010. The first contact was initiated by UTC, who asked for a 5 slide power point describing an operations challenge that could potentially impact UTC's business. After I passed that in, (they only gave us two days to do it) I received a call the next day to schedule a phone interview. The interview was straight forward, questions like "why should we hire you", "Draw some connections between your experience and leadership", "what is your definition of a good leader", "what are your strengths", "what are your weaknesses"..Very typical behavioral questions for which you can easily prepare.

Interview Details – Intial process well organized. Several candidates for multiple positions were given overviews of the company and general benefits. The candidates were then sent to separate areas and were interviewed by various staff members for approximately 20 minutes per member. Each person had anywhere between 5 to 8 interviews.

Reason for Declining – Salary and benefits too low.
