I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Lumen (Florham Park, NJ) in Mar 2011
Interview
My initial first two interviews were via the phone. The first was to a HR recruiter/manager in Colorado and she asked general questions about my resume, the second was with the hiring manger who was required to ask a set of documented questions that were prepared by HR, and wasn't allowed to deviate from the script. He just wrote down the answers I gave and checked boxes rating the adequacy of my responses. Then I was brought into a panel interview with the hiring manager, a peer manager, and service delivery manager. I answered how I would handle several scenarios and after that I got a call with an offer two days later.
