I applied in-person. The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at Verizon (Ashburn, VA) in Oct 2013
Interview
The hiring process was extremely long. I was told I was on a fast track since I was already consulting at Verizon, however, it still took 2.5 months for me to get on board. I went through 2 interviews with my ultimate direct executive, in addition to one from my second line VP. Then a recruiter is assigned to interview for specifics (salary and benefits) and also to lead you through the hiring process.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
As a long time consultant, I was not asked anything very difficult since we had an established relationship.
