Interviewed Apr 2012 (took 1 week)
I was an internal candidate.
Applied for position, I ad to know who was in the department and get an introduction before I was to be considered for the position. I did a phone interview, giving me an outline for a panel presentation. The phone interview was informal, and did not get into any of my history, or experience. As an internal candidate it was already well known.
I then arrived to do my group panel presentation as a business analysis of the proposed market I would be taking over. I preformed a full market-analysis, and provide demographics, areas of focus for lead development, and exptected revenue penetration for the market. I then went into my experience, my background prior to AT&T, and my accomplishments as an AT&T employee.
On my final 1:1 interview with our Regional VP, I had a chance to again give my presentation, and really talk 1:1 about my vision, and his vision for me. It was an excellent opportunity to get to know my VP, and let him know my aspirations.
After the interview, I was told they would be in touch in about 2 weeks with a final decision....20 minutes later, I received a phone call saying I was being offered the position.

Interviewed May 2011 (took 1 week)
Interview process was pretty simple for me since I was referred by an employee. They went through my stuff rather quick and I had 3 interviews within a day. First one was 1:1 and the other 2 were over the phone. They needed to fill my position as soon as possible so it was just perfect timing for me.

Interviewed Apr 2009 (took a day)
It was quick, simple, and a breeze. They ask the most basic of questions, matter of fact I wnoder if they paid too much attention because I was asked the same question twice. I had 2 interviews on the same day which for the most part consisted of the same questions.

Interviewed Mar 2010 (took 4 weeks)
Conducted basic phone interview with situational questions and wanted solid examples of successful sales experience...telecom experience was not as important as strong selling skills as well as time management skills. After the video there was a web conference to simulate an in person interview.

Interviewed Sep 2009 (took 2 days)
AT&T Advertising Solutions found my resume online and called me to schedule a face to face interview.
There was no initial phone interview (which was my first clue that the job wasn't anything to write home about). Met face to face with the General Manager and District Manager. Interview was at the office I'd be working out of, and took a little over an hour. The questions aren't terribly difficult as they have a high turn over rate, so they seem to be looking for someone with basic sales skills or better. Provided you complete that round of interviewing (and you should, if you can't pass that interview, sales probably isn't a good career path) you get a phone interview with the GM's boss (I forget the title). Again, not a real killer interview, solid interviewing skills 101 gets you the job.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
There was none. They make you an offer, you accept it, or you don't. To be honest, they probably would accept no for an answer and consider you again down the road. Again, this is a high turn over job, they aren't nearly as selective as they might lead you to believe.
Other Details
The interview consisted of a Phone Interview and a 1:1 Interview.

Interviewed Mar 2009 in Cleveland, OH (took 4 weeks)
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.
