Behavioral Group Presentation
I met with a committee of peers, HR, and a supervisor. It was pretty straightforward overall. They were open to salary talks, but I couldn't start when planned and had to turn down the offer. I was told the company was a bit old-fashioned and stuck in its ways. They seemed willing to discuss the benefits of moving to Hudson, Ohio. It turned out to be a good thing I didn't go with them, as I would have been laid off when the company went under.

Applied in early November, got a call in early December to confirm my application was received. I then went in for an interview the same week and was hired after a casual chat with two managers. The hiring process also included about a week for paperwork and a background check, followed by computer training.
