I applied through university. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Verizon (Branchburg, NJ) in Jan 2012
Interview
First was a phone interview, followed by a half day interview with 4 managers. The HR people were very friendly and helpful in answering all questions regarding benefits and any other questions we had. The managers were very friendly and asked standard questions from a list of them they were required to ask. I left with a good feeling about the company and the people who work there. Next an HR person called to ask a few more questions and verify the online application. After they said the next step was there would be an offer or not. Within 2 weeks an offer was given and asked for a drug test to be taken within 2 days of the offer. Overall it was a very positive experience.
