I applied through university. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at TEKsystems in Apr 2011
Interview
All of my interviews with TEK were very easy, but the process dragged for quite some time. There was enough interest in me to get to the final round of interviewing, which required me to fly to the West Coast during a weekend to meet the business director, an account manager, and other recruiters. For my third round, I was asked to visit an office in the Midwest as well. I prepared well and even was asked about my family life, which is an illegal question to ask during an interview. Though I don't believe the answer led to my rejection, I was still irked that I was asked to travel a couple of times and not be reimbursed ultimately to be rejected from the position. At the time, I attended a top university with a very good academic record as well as solid work experience (which was much more than the other recruiters had achieved), so I was completely confused why I did not receive an offer after four rounds of stellar interviewing.
I give the experience a "neutral" rating because each person that interviewed with me was positive and asked easy questions, but traveling without reimbursement and adjusting my schedule to fit the business director's schedule was not pleasant.

I made it to a third-round interview and spent an hour on a zoom call with someone to never hear from them again. It took 3 weeks to get ahold of someone to schedule each interview, so the whole process took over a month. for nothing.
