I applied online. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Verizon (Fairview Heights, IL) in Jan 2012
Interview
First, I had a 45 minute phone interview with a recruiter. You'd think he was vetting me to be a Secret Service Agent. He was grilling me about every job on my resume. The interview was very in-depth. I made it past the interview to another 45 minute phone interview the next day. This interview was more of the same. I felt like I was being interrogated.
I was finally set up with a one-to-one interview about two weeks later. That interview was good. She seemed to have a good head on her shoulders and didn't ask any stupid questions. Her questions were to the point and based on whether or not I could do the work.
I made follow up calls and E-mails and never could get anyone to talk to me. Finally, about 3 months later, I got an E-mail that said that I didn't get the job. They could've called me back and let me know! Will not interview with them again. Waste of time.
