Interviewed Aug 2010 in Boston, MA (took a day)
First interview was on the phone, second in front of a group panel. The atmosphere was light and the interviewers were curteous and direct. The only issue I had was with the delay in notifying the potential candiates for the job.

Interviewed Jan 2012 in Pittsburgh, PA (took 1+ week)
I applied on the website on a Sunday evening. Monday morning I was contacted for my first telephone interview. I scheduled that interview for Tuesday afternoon. After the interview (which was a personality interview) I received an email telling me I qualified for the position and to schedule skills testing. I scheduled the testing for the first available date which was Thursday morning. The testing consisted of an IQ test, a behavioral test and a Skills assessment. I passed all tests and was granted a 2nd phone interview for Friday afternoon. This interview was with 2 people from HR who asked pretty much the same types of questions as the first phone interview. I received notice on Monday morning via email that I still qualified for the position and a rep would call me when they had an available job opportunity. I got the call with the job offer on Monday evening and accepted the offer over the telephone.

Interviewed Aug 2011 in Boston, MA (took 2 days)
I was contacted by a headhunter to interview in Boston for a position at HQ (although I would be virtual here in Boston). I had 3 single person interviews and 2 panel interviews. I interviewed primarily with C-Levels, who were equally as interested in my personality and experience. Standard large corporation fare; mostly men (I am a woman) with, well, you know what stuck up their you know where.

Reason for Declining
I own my on HR consulting firm, and quite frankly, having left AT&T to start my own company more than 5 years ago, I wasn't ready to give up my autonomy and go back to a large corporation.
Other Details
I got the interview through a Recruiter and the interview consisted of a 1:1 Interview and a Group/Panel Interview.

Interviewed Nov 2011 in Basking Ridge, NJ (took a day)
The interview process consisted of two hour-long panel interviews. Both panels asked similar questions about resume, leadership experience, Verizon products / services and telecommunications in general. One focused a little more on leadership / teamwork and the other on business and technology. The interviewers were nice, cordial. Heard back a little after a week by phone. The position is fairly new so still waiting to learn more about it.

Interviewed Sep 2011 in Hyderabad (India) (took a day)
It Was good on the whole.Basically they focused more on the HR side as my technical skills were already screened in the written test. Also i was given some cases and my actions were asked in those. The Interview people were great, they made you feel very comfortable and brought the real you in front of them.

Interviewed Nov 2011 (took 2 weeks)
The interviewer was an alumnus of my school and came with a packet of questions to ask. The interview was mostly behavioral, with questions regarding leadership style, past experiences, and possible improvements to the company. The interview was pitched as for those from a technical background, but very few details came up that required any sort of expertise - I think they wanted more of the 'way of thinking' than any exact knowledge.
The interviewer was friendly and encouraging, but I couldn't really gather how he thought the interview was going. I had a good impression of it afterward, so I was a little disappointed when I finally (after 2-3 weeks) got the call that I had not been selected.
