I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at NVR (Fairfax, VA) in Jun 2013
Interview
The interview process was very detailed however it was also open for questions for the interviewer. Don't get in your own head and exude confidence. There is a 3 person panel but you interview with each interviewer privately. There is typically a person who is very positive and encouraging, one who is neutral, and one who is more difficult. They are really big on problem solving and overcoming objections

Question 1
Why do you think you would be good for the position?
First there is a Personality test done online. Then an in person panel interview with three individuals primarily asking behavioral questions. Questions surrounded the main aspects of sales life: motivation, leadership, persuasiveness, stress, etc.
Relatively average process. Started with phone interview, then brought in for a couple different interviews. One with sales managers, then one with the president. Took a couple months before offer.

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at NVR in Jan 2017
Interview
I was contacted by a recruiter, who I interviewed over phone with. Then a long online personality survey and was moved on to final interview with management.
Interview process is not unique and actually turned me off the job. I was not offered the job but would not have taken it had I been offered. Too many bad reviews on this position and the antiquated nature of the whole process and company concerned me. If you are going to take an all-commission position, take one that allows you to hunt and set your own quota so to speak. NVR caps commission and adjusts quotas constantly. Not worth the long hours and weekend requirements.
