Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Santa Ana, CA Aug 2010 – Reviewed Jan 10, 2012
Interview Details – It was fairly simple, just the one interview. The interviewer was very personable and asked pretty standard questions. Nothing out of the ordinary. The process was almost so quick that you find yourself employed without knowing it.
Interview Question – What does Waste Management offer specifically, that other companies do not, that makes you want to work here? Answer Question
Negotiation Details – Do not be afraid to negotiate on salary. Take your time in going through the process and don't sign anything unless you are completely satisfied.

Sales at Waste Management
No Offer – Interviewed in Denver, CO Jun 2010 – Reviewed Sep 26, 2010
Interview Details – Phone interview and then face to face interview. Company did not say industry experience required, but moved forward with someone that had "relevant experience." Company kept sending emails saying position had been filled, even after I was verbally told that I did not get the position. Job itself sounded good with good salary. People were friendly.

Manager at Waste Management
No Offer – Interviewed in Houston, TX Jul 2010 – Reviewed Feb 6, 2013
Interview Details – I was brought in for a face to face interview in Houston for a manager position. As soon as one of the VPs saw me he looked shocked and said you look different on Linkedin. After that it was down hill. Each of the interviewers were less than friendly and one interviewer took a call from his wife that lasted about 20 minutes.
