I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Telstra (South San Francisco, CA) in Nov 2012
Interview
Brought in by a recruiter - same day notification. I was interviewed by the VP of Operations. He was very thorough in the interview process. I was hired on the spot with no experience in the industry and successfully negotiated a $5,000 increase after 90 day satisfactory probation period
