I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Verizon in Jan 2012
Interview
I had two sets of phone interviews (phone screens basically) in the fall, and I was then called for a onsite interview a couple months later. The on-site interviews were somewhat intense, with a half day of 1:1 interviews with hiring managers and HR. They were not very responsive in getting back to me, as I had to follow up with HR about my status with Verizon Wireless.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
No case questions, all behavioral questions, some more on the conversatinal side
The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Verizon in Apr 2010
Interview
Initial interview was with HR: very nice people.
2nd interview was with manager: conversational, more about how I might fit into the company than grilling me on statistics.
