I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Softchoice (Chicago, IL) in Dec 2016
Interview
Initial phone screening with a recruiter, lasted about an hour. Talked about my background, behavioral questions, why I was interested in the role, and discussed the position and company. After that, was invited in the office to interview with a Sales Manager. This was more structured, as she had a set of questions she was going through. Mostly behavioral, "tell me about a time when", and questions geared towards their company. They really want to know that you did research on them and want to work for them. Didn't hear back from them after a few weeks, and then sent another email and was informed they decided to go with another candidate.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Softchoice
Interview
Internal recruiter reached out to me for initial phone conversation, then proceeded to set up an in person interview at their office. Interview wasn’t too bad - pretty standard questions really.
Had 3 phone calls. The first 2 calls were good with initial recruiter. On the 3rd phone call the recruiter called me later then the specified appointment time blaming it on a meeting. Not proffesional. At the end of call I asked about all the not so good reviews on Glassdoor. She gave me a generic answer as to why that was. The next day I was sent an email stating they were going to move on with the process with more "qualified" individuals.
