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.

Applied via a personal reference and interviewed with hiring manager. After first meeting, applied online and then took a skills/aptitude test. Offer was made within 3 days and the communication from Human resources was excellent. There was no negotiation on the base pay / commission structure - was a straight foward "take it or leave it" offer. I accepted the offer and was onboarded within 3 weeks
