The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at The Home Depot (New York, NY)
Interview
The interview process was fairly strait forward. Got an email from the recruiter to schedule a 30 min phone call with hiring manager. It was standard background informational chat and a bit about the role itself. A week later I got called back for a onsite for an hour.
First and foremost, their receptionist is RUDE!
The first half with hiring manager was awkward and felt like an interrogation. Since we already spoke on the phone, the face to face was a series of mind test. For a non senior position, I was shocked to have been subjected to 3 tests and made me feel uncomfortable. Wasn't sure how it relates to the role (ex: the weighted ball question) 15 minutes into the interview I knew it wasn't the right role for me. If the interview was this stressful, imagine what working for them felt like. I pulled out of contention after the interview and before I got anymore communication about the role.

Interview
Heard about the position from a friend. Applied online. Screening interview with recruiter, followed by interview with hiring manager, peers and then Director of the Department. It was a pretty straight-forward process. The overall experience was positive.

Question 1
Tell me about your strengths, your weaknesses? Pretty typical interview questions
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at The Home Depot in Jun 2009
Interview
One interview. Asked fairly generikc questions. Main concern was passing the drug/ background test for them; it was almost as if I didn't need to interview, the fact that I showed up was good enough
