I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Datrose (Durham, NC) in Aug 2011
Interview
Boring process with an HR person that seemed to busy talking to listen to my questions. Not much substance to her or her interview process. Asked the same old boring, not relevant questions. You can always tell when someone doesn't know about the job their hiring for.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Datrose (Durham, NC) in June 2011
Interview
I was referred to the company by a current employee and friend. I emailed the HR director personally asking for information on open positions within the company. I was contacted the next day and informed that there were employment opportunities and directed on how to apply. I applied online at the company website and was contacted about 2 days later to set up an interview. The interview was 1:1 and took approximately 1.5-2 hours with very standard interview questions (strengths/weaknesses, why do you want to work here, conflict resolution, etc.). It was more about answering the questions than feeling out whether the candidate (me) was a good fit for the company. I was informed of the benefits (not really great) and the work schedule and possible advancement opportunities (difficult work/life balance, few advancement opportunities), but since i needed the job anyway, I went ahead with it.
