The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Labcorp in Dec 2011
Interview
I was 1st contacted by a recruiter via email. Had to answer some preliminary questions about my experience. Then a telephone interview followed by face to face interview with 4 different people. Lot of behavioral questions. Very targeted selection. The interview process took 4 hours included 1 hour lunch. Very good people; think they are looking for specific answer they like.

Question 1
Tell me when you had to go beyond your job to handle a problem. Give specific example
They ask a lot of SAR questions, so be sure to brush up on and practice those. Overall a straightforward interview. Here have some extra words now because I have to reach 30 for this silly glassdoor policy

Question 1
Tell me about a time you disagreed with your supervisor and how did you handle it?
Two back to back interviews with 2 people each. Interviewers were kind and respectful of my time by attending on time (has not always been the case with other interviews I have had within this organization).

Question 1
Describe a time when you faced a challenge or hurdle.
I made my salary expectations clear at the beginning with the recruiter, and then went on to complete 5 hours of interviews. I really liked the position and the team but then was shocked when they offered me 30k less than the salary range I gave them and 10k less than what I am currently making. I’m not sure why they thought I would take that or why they even bothered interviewing me and wasting everyone’s time - my impression is that salaries here are WAY below market value and that they will try to get you to take a lowball offer.
