I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Rain Bird (Tucson, AZ)
Interview
Like a round robin, met with several levels of management one on one for at least an hour each.
No consensus or structure in their line of questioning. Negative in many ways.
I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Rain Bird (Salinas, CA) in Aug 2016
Interview
Had a phone interview with the hiring manager for about 30 minutes. Went fine. Then was asked to drive one hour to meet hiring manager in person at a restaurant. Met there for about 2 hours. Went fine. While at the restaurant, hiring manager said that another account manager would reach out to me by phone within a few days so that I could get a salesperson's perspective of the job. It took more than a week to actually speak to this person. Phone conversation went fine with him. After this conversation, they never reached out to me again. I left countless messages that were never returned. 4 weeks later they still have not bothered to actually contact me to say that they have chosen someone else. What a bunch of rude, arrogant, uncaring people. I am glad I was rejected! P.S. Since you couldn't be bothered, please consider this my written notice to you that I am officially withdrawing my application and consideration for employment with RainBird.

Quick hiring process but many interviews. Had to interview with hiring manager, national manager, product managers and directors. Process was challenging due to the amount of interviews but it was a short process overall.
