Interviewed Jan 2012 in Omaha, NE (took 2 weeks)
Initial communications with the company: I contacted this company because there was a posting for adjunct faculty in my field.
Organization and planning of the interview: the first interview was written. The directions were very clear. I submitted a successful written interview, so I was granted a phone interview. The phone interview was done very well, very consise. However, I was granted access to the website to set up an account and that was a bit confusing.
Bonus points for your perceptions of the people, office, and work culture: I never met the people face to face. The first person I worked with was great. He responded to emails in a timely manner and was very cordial. The second person I worked with was not good with communication. She was not timely in answering emails and the communication was rather disjointed.
Interview Questions
Reason for Declining
The timing of the teaching and "training to be an adjunct" was going to interfere with my research schedule.
Other Details
The interview consisted of a Phone Interview and a Background Check.

Interviewed Jan 2012 in Saint Louis, MO (took 3 weeks)
I posted my resume online and located by a recruiter who performed a brief initial interview. The next step was another interview - behavioral interview by a different recruiter. The next step was with the hiring manager who continued with a behavioral interview. I was not given any indication of my performance or their interest during any of the interviews.

Interviewed Dec 2011 (took 2 weeks)
Received an email in the AM offering a phone interview for later that afternoon. I accepted and a recruiter called precisely at the appointed time. The questions were situational and real-life experiences were expected as answers. Theere were four (4) central areas:describe a collaborative effort, handling a misunderstanding, describe a presentation, and how do I manage my time. I thought the themes were a good chance to open up a bit, although I left out what was probably my best presentation as my mind raced through all of those experiences. It seemd to go well and I was given a second appointment, also by phone, complete with a conference call passcode and a name of the recruiter who would interview me.
I called in promptly two minutes before the appointed time of the second interview, gained access to the "conference", and held the line for over 20 minutes waiting for the interviewer whom never showed up.
I emailed the initial contact person, called the first interviewer (left a voice mail), and also looked up and called the second interviewer's office (another voice mail). I never received an answer from any of these contacts for my inquiry of why the second interview was apparently abruptly cancelled. We were now into the Holiday season so I gave then the benefit of the doubt that they were on vacation, as many academians are at that time. Still, no response into the first week of January.
I am a Masters-prepared business professional with a sterling track record and no skeletons. I understand that they may have chosen another candidate and that's fine; but that's not how a professional outfit operates. I was given a second appointment and I deserved to be notified of any changes prior to wasting my time.
Very disappointed in the U of P's lack of professionalism.

Interviewed Oct 2011 (took 3 weeks)
I had a current UoP employee (an enrollment advisor) refer me to this position. The interviewing process was pretty stupid. They contacted me via email upon receiving resume. They then set up an online assessment. The assesment consist of three parts: reasoning, personality, and workstyle (I think). Long story short, I could tell that the evaulation was searching for individuals who wouldn't mind being on the phone all day with little to no variation in their daily work activities. This job description totally did not meet my list of most favorite things-to-do, and the test confirmed my lack of interest.

Interviewed Sep 2011 in Phoenix, AZ (took 2 months)
The online hiring process was very straightforward and handled online and via phone calls. I had to fax in documents and H/R records but to date I have never actually met any UOP adminstrator face to face.

Interviewed Oct 2011 in San Diego, CA (took 1+ week)
I had help getting an interview because I know someone at University of Phoenix. I had a phone interview that consisted of several questions that were not easy, but not hard. Then I had an in person interview with two Enrollment Directors. That was very difficult. The questons were complex and abstract. I wish I could remember them all. They took notes the entire interview. I didn't feel like I did a great job, and sure enough, within 2 days, I got a rejection letter via email.

Interviewed Sep 2011 (took 1 week)
hr called to conduct phone interview and discuss job in detail. I was asked to come in for 1:1 interview the following week. When I arrived there were six other candidates and we listened to a presentation about the position and university of Phoenix. After the presentation, they broke us up to do the 1:1 interviews where they only asked three questions.
