I applied through university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at CDW (Chicago, IL) in Nov 2015
Interview
I met CDW recruiters at my university career fair, I then applied online and had a online assessment. After that I had two phone interviews which led to the final in person interview. The day before the in-person interview, I had a prep call with my recruiter. On the day of the interview I had an office tour and a in person interview. Before the interview started, the interviewer who I was assigned told me that he was in a rush and was going to cut the interview short. I have never felt so disrespected by a company as I had made it to the final step in the process and I had invested a significant amount of time into preparation for the interview and they had as well. It was a pleasure to deal with my recruiter but my interviewer made me feel rushed and it felt as if I was wasting my time with this company. I thought this was incredibly unprofessional of CDW to have given me a interviewer who did not want to be in the interview.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at CDW
Interview
Very fast process. A recruiter reached out to me and we had a phone interview a few days later. The recruiter was very friendly and asks questions to get to know you and also gave information about the position. After that a one on one interview is scheduled that it is way more thorough. Do your homework because the questions are very specific and be prepared for "what would you do in this situation" type of questions. I took the time to prepare and it went very well. Sales manager was super friendly!
I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at CDW (Chicago, IL) in Jan 2017
Interview
I applied online and passed 20 minute assessment test online. The very next day I was contacted by the Recruiter of CDW and we scheduled a phone interview for the next day. The phone interview lasted about 40 minutes and included standard behavioral questions. The Recruiter with the name Dione was polite and helpful at certain moments. Although I was not invited for the in-person interview, the overall experience was very useful for my future employment search.
