Interviewed Mar 2012 (took 3 weeks)
I was contacted for a phone interview by HR. Shortly thereafter I was asked to come to the DC office for two group interviews. They financed my trip and were very professional and organized when I arrived. The people that worked there were (mostly) very friendly and young. The office was beautiful too.

Interviewed Apr 2012 in Austin, TX (took 4 weeks)
I first had two phone interviews after an initial email contact. The first was with someone in HR/Career Management to gauge the overall cultural fit for both me and the company and to get a general idea of my background. The second phone interview was with a BA lead and discussed more of the technical aspects of my background as it applied to the position.
Last was an on-site interview session with three one-hour sessions. These were conversational but still professional, with them allowing plenty of time for me to ask questions about the business. There were also questions about technical experience, customer-service experience, and answering "what if" scenarios.
Overall a very positive experience, with fast, friendly, and professional communication at all levels. Overall interview process was very fast compared with other companies.

One phone interview with HR, followed by an on-site interview with 2 interviewers. Made you feel that they were happy to have you there, overall it was a good experience. Interview is focused on your resume and knowing what the position entails.

Interviewed Apr 2012 (took 4 days)
Applied for a few analyst type roles and then marketing associate located abroad as I had citizenship in that country. Quickly got an email asking for a phone interview a couple days later. I accepted and found out it was for the marketing associate role. I was a bit suprised it was for the M.A role as I fit the analyst roles far better, other than being a citizen of the country the M.A role would be located in. I checked glassdoor and found out that the position is nothing like how they describe the role in the job posting. You are basically an administrative assistant/lead generator/business development executive and would get paid nowhere near a competitive rate for the skill-sets they want. It was too short of a notice to cancel the phone interview over this bait and switch, so I took it anyways. The questions are exactly as described by others. The phone interview was so awful. Whoever was doing the phone interview could barely read the questions off of their computer screen. I'm floored a supposedly respectable company would allow this to be their first impression. After running through the questions and given the chance to ask any questions, I inquired if I was being considered for the other roles I applied for as I was a far better fit for those positions, and I made it clear that was my preference. I got an awkward answer saying that the careers department believes I would be suited for this role. Standard thank-you, no thank-you email a week later.

Interviewed Apr 2012 (took 1 week)
I applied online for several positions and was contacted via email to set up a phone interview for Recruiting Specialist position. I was not informed about the start date for the position and would not be graduating until summer. This was indicated on my resume but they still contacted me. Half way through the interview the interviewer informed me they were looking for someone to start right away. It felt like they did not really take the time to look at my resume. Next time I will inquire about the start date of positions because they do not provide that information on their job postings.

Interviewed Feb 2012 (took a day)
The interview was a little odd. The person was nice and asked all the "standard" job interview questions but based on the reputation of the company, I expected a more in-depth, dialogue based conversational interview. This was very boilerplate, anywhere USA.
I would have liked the offer but from my understanding, the job would not have been a great fit and the interview was a little bit of a turn-off.

Interviewed Apr 2012 (took 2 months)
I applied for the Research Associate position in Higher Education. After reviewing my resume, I was contacted to set up a phone interview. The questions were general, mostly about my research experience. About 1-2 weeks later, I was contacted to set up a visit to the D.C. office for an in-person interview. I was given materials to prepare for the "case questions" and their travel office was very helpful in assisting with my plans to visit. On the day of my interview, I met with 2 groups of 2 project managers. Again, there were general questions, as well as a case question in each interview. There was also a writing exercise.

Most efficient interview process ever. I applied online, heard back from them via email within a week. Had a phone interview the next week and went in for the in-person interview the week after.
Questions are pretty standard...they definitely have a script that they pretty much stick to.

Why your college?
Why your interest in healthcare?
What drew you to the Marketing associate position?
What is your understanding of the position?
How would you describe ABC?
Describe a position you've had that makes you best qualified for this position.
Weakness?
What do you think your biggest challenge would be in this position?
What motivates you?
Describe a situation where you had to use presentation skills.
