I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Ricoh (Fresno, CA) in Jul 2013
Interview
I met with the manager, he was a great guy and we got along well. I then was chosen to move further in the process which was a phone call with another manager in a different marketplace. After that was a ride along with a current sales rep. It all went well and was hired after that.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why Ricoh, why do you want to work for Ricoh and why are you leaving your current company?
nothing I can recall. the process was as you would expect and you can see from the other reviews. There are questions and there are answers then a second interview if necessary.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Ricoh (Glasgow, Scotland)
Interview
Invited for initial in-person interview after submitting CV and Cover letter, for them to basically tell me in person that from my CV they didn't think I had enough experience. Timewasters.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
Questions were not clear, but basically was asked if I know the Scottish Market. I proceeded to explain that I had a few scottish clients in my previous sales role, but they didn't really give me an opportunity to speak. Their Head of Sales for UK and Head of Sales for Scotland don't understand the 80/20 rule and just like the sound of their own voice.
Very smooth. 2 rounds of interviews. One was a phone interview. After the phone interview, you the manager. The manager asked basic questions around your experience. Additionally, he'll walk you through what typical day looks like.
