I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Verizon (Irving, TX) in Dec 2012
Interview
The hiring process was long and tedious. There was a change in the recruiters. It took several months to find out if I received the offer. The Manager was swamped with projects.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Explain how you can immediately help move the offering to the next level.
Had to go through three interviews and two personality tests before being hired. During the last interview, there were 4 members of the company's leadership team present, and I was asked to participate in several mock experiences. Quite rigorous, but I got the job. This way over a decade ago so not sure if hiring process is the same now that XO was acquired by Verizon.

Question 1
What is a decision you've had to make that went against what others wanted? When was a time you stepped up when no one else would?
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Verizon
Interview
WORST EVER. Phone interview (enthusiastic and complimentary) followed by in-person interview - The last thing the interviewer said was that he would make a final decision the next day. Then they "ghosted" me. After an in person interview, this gives me a TERRIBLE view of the company, and how they treat people. It's just never okay to not follow up after an in-person interview. Even after I followed up, they didn't respond - although clearly I didn't get the job. They truly don't get it. Weren't they looking for a job when they got this one? The candidate puts him/herself out there in a vulnerable state, dresses the part, arranges their schedule around the interview, studies and prepares for the conversation all to be ignored. Just terrible treatment. I'll never consider this company again - NEVER.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Verizon (Cary, NC) in June 2017
Interview
The interview was not fairly assessed, the hiring manager already had made a judgement prior to the interview. It was just a formality. I didn't hear back from the manager and had to follow up with her. She had feedback for me but nothing tangible I could use.

Question 1
They asked to see previous power point decks that I had created.
