The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Sage (Lawrenceville, GA) in Oct 2010
Interview
I received an email from HR to setup a phone interview with her. The phone interview was only with the recruiter. A couple days later, I went in for an actual interview. I was greeted by a team member. She was nice- i noticed the cool colors of the company, which stood out to me-along with the casual dress code, which also appealed. She walked me to about 3 other team member who were awaiting my presence.They gave me some info on the company, what would be my job, and also working with team. They told me all the perks and that they were allowed to telecommute once a week. I then had a 1 on 1 with the "potential boss". This interview was still pretty easy. I then met up with his counter part who I would work with, but he seemed a bit intimidated by my skills- as if I was after his job. He also tried to trip me up asking wierd questions that really didn have anything to do what the job that I was seeking. More personal questions to basically have an excuse to weed me out. Mind you, this woud have not been my boss...just a cross team leader- who I would help with on projects here and there. You know if you dont have a certain look- your automatic disqaulified. I saw who they hired- complete opposite of me.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Sage (Lawrenceville, GA) in Mar 2011
Interview
Recruiter was very helpful and supportive. The interview was with 2 managers and we seemed to connect very well. The follow-up interview was with the Sales Director which was the most unique interview I've had because of his interest on the why behind what I do. He was not interested on the technical skills but more about the philosophy and approach to selling.

I applied in-person. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Sage in Dec 2010
Interview
The recruiters at Sage are not good at follow up...but once the interview process actually started it moved along pretty quickly. They used a Lominger style group interview but the team was not used to doing it so it was not particularly effective. They was more interested in impressing each other than selling the company opportunity.
