I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Verizon (Basking Ridge, NJ) in May 2015
Interview
VZ has a very long and drawn out interview process. Several rounds of interviews and long weight period in-between the interview and next steps. Also, the company loves panel interviews. Inside referrals help move process along. My experience is this company likes to hire outside of company. Not too much management movement.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why do you want to work here? Why should we hire you? A lot of questions about experience.

They pull a low profile and call them. Post they will ask to apply. They will schedule a call after few days. And ask irrelevant questions to the profile. And one or two relevant questions. Finally they says your profile does not match. Not sure why they are calling
Took a few months with about 4 interviews. Very communicative, with about 1-2 weeks in between each interview. Prior to the interviews, I sent the recruiter a writing sample and my resume.
