I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Wireless Generation, Inc. (Brooklyn, NY) in Jun 2009
Interview
I started off with a polite, if sparse in information, phone conversation with the Wireless Generation recruiter. Then, I had a 30 minute phone interview with a senior project manager, which consisted of a few background questions, and then some scenario-based questions (eg. give me an example where...). After a few days of consideration, they scheduled me for a 3-hour in-person interview where I met with an experienced software engineer, the director of the department, and two senior project managers (for a simulation-style interview). The simulation was quite challenging, but rewarding in the sense that you got a feel for how things work, and it's way more thoughtful than having a barrage of people asking the same questions over and over again.

Question 1
Tell me about a time where a team member or external person was highly relevant to the project's success, whose lack of co-operation threatened the project.
The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Wireless Generation, Inc. in Nov 2010
Interview
Initially, I was contacted by their HR recruiter in respect to my resume on a job posting site. Was questioned on my background, education, certication and the types of projects I worked on. I was setup with a phone interview, where the Sr. Project Manager asked me about my people skills and to describe situations in which I was wrong and the other party was right. I was not asked about project management skills per se. The direction of the interview was unfocused and I was unsure of how to close out the experience.

The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Wireless Generation, Inc. (New York, NY) in May 2010
Interview
I was contacted by an HR representative, who asked to schedule a phone interview. He was extremely friendly and asked a lot of general questions about background and experience. He also gave me a lot of helpful information about the company and culture, which was appreciated. In the end, it turned out that there was not yet a position budgeted that they were hiring for, which was disappointing, but we agreed to keep in touch as he hoped to be actively recruiting soon.
