Interviewed Dec 2011 (took 4+ weeks)
The interview process was in four parts, the most difficult was the skills assessment test which was online. The phone interview was informative and the in person interview consisted of two separate interviews with Situation, Actions and Results type questions and sitting with an associate of the company for 30 minutes to see what the job entails.
Everyone there was very nice, but they promised me they would call me in two days, it's been three weeks and I haven't heard back from the company. I left 3 messages and 3 emails contacting the HR department with no return call.

Interviewed Dec 2011 in Pittsburgh, PA (took 2 weeks)
I was contacted by a recruiter for a phone interview. The interview was fairly typical with the interviewer reading prepared questions that explored my general work experience. Nothing specific about my resume was asked.
The next step involved a talent and skills assessment and technical knowledge test. The TSA is similar to an ACT or SAT test, the main difference being the personality quiz. I will emphasize that the personality quiz is very serious, and that it is important that you do not indicate anything on the quiz that would make you appear anything less than highly motivated, self-starting, responsible, and always calm. I passed all the cognitive areas of the test but managed to fail the personality test entirely. The worst I allowed about my personality was a neutral response and that was sufficient for the computer to eliminate me from employment. While it seems absurd they will let a computer administered personality quiz not unlike those found on dating sites eliminate a potentially good hire, it should be easy enough to fake it out if you are prepared for it.
I expect there are further interviews but I didn't make it that far. As an aside, there are some helpful interview and test previews available on Verizon's website.

This was a long time ago. In 1979 one did not have to go through the regiment of employment questions or background checks like today.

Interviewed Dec 2010 in Virginia Beach, VA (took 2 weeks)
You have to take a test online to even get an interview. Then you take a test at a special office and I passed that so I got an interview at the company. I thought I did very well at the interview but ultimately i didn't get a call back.

Interviewed Dec 2011 in Richmond, VA (took 2 days)
Terrible they take you out to sell verizon products to existing customers. Nobody wants to buy anything. The lady I was paired up with spent 8 hours with me walking from store to store and didn't sell 1 upgrade or anything. She made $0 in commission; therefore working for free.
Its all commission based, no salary!

Interviewed Feb 2011 (took 4+ weeks)
They asked situational questions that required a three part answer. They all ready know who they want to hire, so basically you don't have a chance of getting a promotion. They only promote minorities, family members or brown-nosers.

Interviewed Nov 2011 (took 3 days)
I started by taking an online assessment that measured my problem solving skills and math skills. After I passed that test I participated in a 3 hour panel interview that was a "behavioral" interview asking for examples of how I solved issues common to the job I was applying for.

Interviewed Jan 2009 (took 2 days)
Not a bad process at all. You meet with the hiring manager and maybe a few peers. Very professional, friendly, nice office space and a faced paced working environment. Must have the proper experience and professional appearance. You also must have a strong Telecom backround and solution based selling skills in order to be considered for a sales position.

Interviewed Feb 2009 in New York, NY (took a day)
Five interviewers mostly asking about leadership experience and knowledge of company. Pretty much knowing the technology used and how it works was key and being able to elaborately explain previous projects was key. The array of questions where coming from all angles, but the interviewers were extremely nice and made it more like a conversation than anything else.
