I applied online. I interviewed at Avaya (Santa Clara, CA) in Jan 2012
Interview
5-6 reviewers all in one day. They set me up in a conference room and did speed dating. One of the interviewers kept checking their phone. One was dressed in jeans. That caught me by surprise.
The interview process took weeks.
Avaya did not provide certain information, nor a decision if it was moving forward or not.
However, company decided to go ahead with a background check.
I consider that the management of the people in the company is bad, because they should notify or give information on the current status of the selection process.
It was a bad experience, many interviews without any meaning, advancing in an investigation (waste of candidate time and invasive). Not recommendable.
Human resources were not communicated at any time.
