The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Staples
Interview
HR screen, phone with director, phone with hiring manager. Process took about 5 weeks. HR screen was typical. Phone with director went well, immediately wanted to set up next round. About 3 weeks later had phone with hiring manager. Extremely condescending and uninterested. Giant waste of my time. She was very assumptive, and did not once ask about my qualifications. Assured me that there was no room for growth, almost as if attempting to make the job less appealing.
I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Staples in May 2012
Interview
The hiring manager asked me what is my former experience, education and career plan. The manager also asked me to explain my understanding of some of the job description.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Staples (Framingham, MA)
Interview
Disjointed, long interview process.
I had one-on-one interviews with several interviewers, however, each interviewer seemed to have a very different impression of the role I was interviewing for, making everything extremely confusing because I received conflicting descriptions of the position and wasn't sure how to emphasize my skills/experience given that the job description kept changing throughout the day. My interviewers also gave some basic case questions, but the scenarios weren't clear, ie, the interviewers kept correcting themselves as though they couldn't remember the case entirely or gave very vague case questions.
Additionally, I spent the day interviewing on-site and was never offered water or a bathroom break. The offices were pretty dark and consisted of rows and rows of gray cubicles.... very little decorations or personal touches, i.e. plants, etc. The whole place seemed a bit depressing.
