I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at DISH (Denver, CO) in May 2010
Interview
A recruiter contacted me and quickly scheduled a phone interview. It went well and she got back to me within two days to schedule a phone interview with the hiring manager. The interview with the hiring manager also went well, so the recruiter called me back very quickly to schedule a video/voicechat interview with the director. I scheduled to have that day off so I could be at home for the interview. The director never called. Within a few days, a different recruiter e-mailed me to see if she could set up a time for an interview with the same director. I elected not to move forward with the process.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about a time when you disagreed with your manager. How did you handle it and what was the resolution?
For a job paying under $30/hour you will have no less than 4 interviews for a role in Human Resources. Why? HR leadership pick people based on A) What they look like and B) If you will be a good friend and C) they ask leading questions under the guise of behavioral questions to determine if you will lie and throw others under the bus for them. It takes 3 months from when you send in your resume to when you get a job offer with DISH. Why? They pick friends and friends of friends first. These folks decline once they know the wage posted is not the wage being offered, that these jobs should be salaried but are hourly, and that the PTO amount posted is not the PTO you will receive. They are the lucky -- they avoid being micro-managed, sabotaged, poorly trained, and expected to work off the clock so as not to create overtime. You will wish you never applied for DISH! There is a reason they are less than 3 stars, but recruiters will lie and say they have won Best Workplace 3 yrs in a row - yeah, 5 yrs ago! Don't be duped!

Interview
I applied for a position that had been open for some time, and it seemed like the team was still clarifying exactly what they needed. The job description and each interviewer's interpretation varied a bit from stage to stage, which made it challenging to gauge the exact role expectations. The initial steps involved a phone screen followed by a video interview. I didn’t progress to the final stages, but the process would have included up to four rounds of video interviews, potentially leading to an in-person interview if successful. Overall, the interview process was organized, though it may benefit from a clearer alignment on role specifics among interviewers.

Some version of: tell me about a time you needed to get someone on board who was opposed to your plan. What did you do, etc.

Interview
Phone interview, assessment and then brought in for another assessment and in person interview. Interviews went well, but there were some concerns I had on the questions asked for the assessment that included my opinions on immigration and politics.
They kept pushing back when a decision was to be made, then finally came back that they are restructuring and the position was now on hold.
