I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Verizon (Santa Monica, CA) in Jun 2014
Interview
Applied online and EC had a rather quick turn-around time in getting back to me. (appreciated this aspect)
Following the initial contact:
-Was told I was under-qualified for the position I applied for and then referred to a remedial position
-Went over 20 emails back and forth with an initial recruiter
-Given a salesdrive "sales assessment" to complete
-Incorrectly scheduled for a 1:1 interview w/sales mngr (didn't work for either of our schedules)
-Rescheduled for interview with new recruiter for a new time
-Sales manager called me 10 minutes late for the meeting and failed to leave me a voicemail
-Voluntarily withdrew from interview process

On the positive side, the recruiters that I did work with were very friendly and pretty quick to respond to questions.

The interview was a process. I had to tell them lots of things. I answered questions. They answered questions. We both answered each other's questions about things. They were nice. There was free coffee
Long, mostly video interviews. Questions are cliche and repetitive. Process is simple enough just not to my liking. It’s also my understanding they have mandatory training for 3 weeks. Seems ridiculous to have qualified salespeople train for that long.
