Very Lengthy. I applied to several positions via their careers web site. I was first contacted for a video interview. They keep the video on file for some time. If you apply for a full time position, you should know that you will be barred from applying for any contract positions for some time. After my video interview, I was offered an onsite interview by an internal recruiter. I went to that interview, but I did not receive an offer. I actually had to follow up with the recruiter to find out I was rejected, and to be quite honest, that particular recruiter was not very professional. That was in June. I was contacted by a different recruiter for another position at the beginning of August on a Monday, and was invited onsite to interview on Friday with an Architect and another PM. (Presumably the hiring manager already reviewed my previous video interview.) About 2 weeks later, I was contacted for a 2nd onsite interview with the hiring manager and another person, although when I went to the interview on September 1st, only the hiring manager was available. A couple of weeks later, I was invited for a 3rd, short 30 minute on-site interview with a director of the PMO and one of her program managers. The day after on September 20th, I was contacted by another recruiter/HR person about an offer. The hiring manager was on vacation, and I followed up with that person about a week later. Finally, was given an offer September 28th, contingent on drug testing and background check. I was told the background check could take up to 4 WEEKS! I took the drug test and submitted the background check info right away the next day. I heard that everything was clear on 10/7. I wanted to give my current employer at least two weeks notice, and take some time off before the new job, so I negotiated a start date of 11/7. You have to join on a Monday because that's when they have orientations.
