I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at MicroStrategy (Saint Louis, MO) in Aug 2011
Interview
Contacted by a 3rd party headhunter who coordinated the process. A couple of pretty standard phone interviews moved pretty quickly. Then there was a long wait for the face to face. Kept in touch with the director for about 2 month waiting for him to make a trip to my city for the face to face. Had a lunch with him and an offer the same day.
