Interviewed Aug 2011 (took 3 weeks)
Everyone I encounter was very professional and quite nice. So much so that I was initially unsettled by it - probably because the people at my current job are the total opposite. A very good telephone interview and then a real face to face interview without the canned questions - we actually had a good conversation. I could tell my resume was studied and we discussed the realities of the position - the challenges and the expectations. The good impression that I had for the organization was improved with this meeting.

Interviewed May 2011 in Washington, DC (took 2 weeks)
The first round was just everything about your experiences. The second round was 2 case interviews with 2 business managers.
\The first case question was something like to estimate the market size of a potential product. The second one was to give some business/marketing advice to a product of AARP.

Interviewed Jan 2009 in Washington, DC (took 2 months)
It was an interview for another job at AARP where I was already employed. AARP moves about as slowly as the gov. I had a screening interview with HR with your basic questions - why you want the job, why you want to make the move, reviewing your qualifications. Next an interview with the hiring manager who asked specifics about data analysis and wanted detailed responses proving that I could do advanced data analysis. Some behavioral interview questions like how do you deal with difficult people and give examples.

Interviewed Feb 2011 in Washington, DC (took 2 months)
I applied online and got the call for a brief interview with HR
a) Why AARP
b) Why non profit
Later I got a call to come over to the office for a face to face session with the team. All the people I met were really nice.
Why AARP, Why this role, example of a good day at work, bad day at work, good boss to work for, role relevant questions.
I was called for another panel interview. They were trying to find a fit and personality assessment giving specific situations that they experience at work. This one was very behavioral

Interviewed Apr 2008 (took 4 weeks)
Everyone was very nice. I meet with several marketing directors who were most concerned about my fit with the organization's culture. I got the impression that there was a lot of bureacratic infighting going on.
