I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at NCR Corporation (Duluth, GA) in Aug 2009
Interview
I was sent a three page "Candidate Questionnaire" to complete and return to the Talent Acquisition Manager. Within hours I was asked to schedule a phone interview with the hiring manager. At the scheduled time, the hiring manager called to apologize about not being able to do the interview at that time, and asking me if he could call me later to reschedule.
I am impressed with the professionalism of the process so far, especially the hiring manager taking the time to break away and at least notify me in person that a scheduling conflict came up. I look forward to expressing this to him in person real soon. I will post more results once I have them.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Questionnaire form requested three years of W2 figures
Multiple interviews and develop presentation re my viewpoint/perspective on strategy of the business. The interview itself wasn’t difficult as this was my presentation but took research and time to develop. I felt the process was fair.
I applied online. I interviewed at NCR Corporation
Interview
Process was as normally expected -- An initial phone screen, with a continuation to a discussion with the hiring manager. In both cases, the hiring manager discussion seemed productive with a view towards further interviews.
In both cases -- Complete radio silence after that. Eventually, in the first case, received an automated "no-go" from the HR system. The second one was 6 weeks ago, I was told they wanted to do in-person interviews, and have heard nothing.
I get it -- You won't always get a response, what is completely unforgivable is the HR person's total lack of responsiveness to queries, especially given a deadline I had made them aware of. As a candidate this gives a very poor impression of the company and I'll decline any future interview requests from them as they don't have the basic respect to provide a cursory update when asked multiple times.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at NCR Corporation (Duluth, GA) in Feb 2012
Interview
Quick and relatively simple. Phone screen first. Then had a panel interview in person at Duluth office. Recruiter was good at keeping me up to date during the entire process.
