Interviewed Jan 2012 in Hartford, CT (took 2+ weeks)
Applied for the position in late January. Eventually saw system status change that I was "Being Reviewed". Received call 18 days after initial submission to come in for an on-site panel interview. I thanked the individual that called and extended my thanks to the team for their consideration in the process however at this point, I declined as I had already accepted another offer.

Interviewed Jan 2012 (took a day)
Very rushed cold interview...no personality. No time to ask them questions about the company or the department regarding culture or details of functions, etc. All scripted questions...started late and finished in rushed format...the same way it started. Not good for first impressions.

Interviewed Jan 2012 (took a day)
Submitted resume through school and separately on Aetna website. Interview was held on campus with an HR representative who asked very standard behavioral and fit questions in a 30 minute 1:1 interview. Have a good understanding of why Aetna versus other insurance companies in the same region. Took two weeks to notify and seemed to be assessing functional preferences as well. Projects are team based not individual.

Interviewed Dec 2011 in Hartford, CT (took 4+ weeks)
My interview experience was outstanding ~ one of the best I have ever had (and I have interviewed with lots of companies throughout my career.) I had a few interviews with the hiring manager via phone and then in person, and later I flew to Hartford for the final round of interviews. While there, I interviewed with four other senior leaders. Everyone was warm, respectful, and impressive.
My interviews were 45 minutes each, and I had a nice rest break in between each interview. Everyone stuck to the time schedule, which was nice. They also provided me with a small conference room where I could keep my belongings during the day and take notes after each interview. Interview questions were appropriate for my position, and there were no odd or overly-challenging questions. It seemed they wanted the interviewer to be comfortable.
Given my interview experience, I am thrilled about coming to work for Aetna.

Interviewed Oct 2011 in Columbus, OH (took 2 weeks)
Applied on-line awhile ago. Then had a voice mail from the employment center and went through the voice test. I was offered a phone interview at 8pm. Interview had questions like "explain when you experienced a major change in the work place, when you had to give detailed information to someone, etc". The I was offered a face to face interview. I interviewed this past Thursday and the two women I interviewed with where extreme nice and very knowledgeable. Friday I received the email about filling out the full application and I for got to put where I lived for the past 7 years so I got an email about that later that evening.
It has only been three days since the face to face, but I hope to hear something soon!
Update 11/2/11: Just got a call for an offer!

Interviewed Aug 2009 in Pittsburgh, PA (took 3 months)
called back four separate times for interviews with different people each time. spent a total of over ten hours in interviews and on the last one was asked fairly insulting questions about my job history and my decisions regarding leaving prior jobs. spent all that time and didn't even get the courtesy of a kiss off letter. two years later, they're still advertising the position
