The hiring process at AT&T takes an average of 30 days when considering 2 user submitted interviews across all job titles. Candidates applying for Sales Representative had the quickest hiring process (on average 30 days), whereas Sales Representative roles had the slowest hiring process (on average 30 days).
The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at AT&T (Cleveland, OH) in Mar 2009
Interview
Very formal and regimented. They definitely have a process in place that they stick to. At times they actually tried to talk you out of the job in hopes that you would cave if you didn't think you were up to the task. The actual description of the past success of reps in the same territory was not given when asked. Ultimately I feel I didn't have enough experience dealing with the size customers that this job required.

If you were driving down a freeway and saw a dog walking on the side of the road, what would you do?
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at AT&T (Fort Lauderdale, FL) in Mar 2009
Interview
I am an internal employee trying to move on to another adventure, with a higher salary. Ihave applied for four positions, and received tentative offers for each of them, in the last 14 months. In two cases, three months into the process, the division has been dissolved. The other two the positions have been filled by individuals that have been surplussed out of their old jobs. Those who offered the jobs then offer your name to others who are hiring and when the surplusses are done, who knows it may actually happen
The good news is that the interviews are fair, unbiased and job related.
The bad news is that the process takes months, Because the company is undergoing repeated reorganizations the job may or may not exist by the time the process is completed, or three months after you are hired.

I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at AT&T (Atlanta, GA) in Feb 2008
Interview
The interview process is actually pretty outdated. For designers, they make you create a website from scratch (instead of how with most firms, they just check your portfolio), and then judge you based on their archaic design standards. In the design world, doing spec work is a big no-no, and a practice that's looked down upon. The fact that AT&T requires their designers to do spec work to even land an interview is not only laughable, but despicable. Drug tests are required after the 1:1 interview.I
