I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Hewlett Packard Enterprise | HPE (Houston, TX) in Dec 2016
Interview
Applied online and was contacted within a month by internal recruiter for phone screen. Recruiter was thorough and very helpful. Next interviews were with three Directors. Two in the morning and one in the afternoon. All were phone interviews. Next step was to be with Sr Director when he became available. Unfortunately this final interview took over a month to schedule and so I moved on as it did not seem to be a priority from HPE.

I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Hewlett Packard Enterprise | HPE (Cupertino, CA) in Jan 2016
Interview
The questions were geared towards finding out whether I could immediately jump into the job. THey seemed concerned about how to get the team on board if they didnt subscribe to the need for standardize processes. There are multiple projects of varying complexities and they need someone who could juggle all the projects where the teams were dispersed in multiple geographic areas. I felt I could answer the questions and had strong experience that where i could immediately contribute in the role.
