I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Success Academy Charter Schools (New York, NY) in Mar 2014
Interview
I was referred by a friend who worked at Success Already, so I can't speak to applying through the website. I spoke with a recruiter briefly on the phone, who invited me to an in person interview.
I participated in a group interview with about 10 other teachers interviewing for science and lead teacher roles.
We each taught a 10 minute literacy demonstration lesson provided for us by Success, for which we selected our own book. We interviewed with a recruiter and a school leader, and then debriefed our demonstration lessons in small group, where we received and gave feedback from school leaders and other teachers interviewing. Feedback was around both management and expectations, as well as instruction.

I interviewed at Success Academy Charter Schools (New York, NY)
Interview
It was a horrible interview. They asked about how my parents disciplined me as a child and focussed on how comfortable I am with disciplining and punishing kids. It was really just an uncomfortable experience and I did not get a good vibe or positive insight into the organization.
I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Success Academy Charter Schools (Flatbush, NY)
Interview
Very lengthy group interview. Prepare to be there for 6 hours or more. The first set of interviews is in a group. Once they are interested in you, you will select a location they will send you to that specific location for an interview to meet the principal and staff.
