Interviewed Nov 2011 in Columbia, SC (took 4+ weeks)
First had a one on one interview with mostly behavioral questions. Then had a panel interview with two interviewers. Really important you research the company and make them believe you want to work for them. Be able to give examples of strong leadership skills. Third round was a day in the field. I believe I basically already had the job at this point and they had the day in the field to give me a feel of what the job would be like?

Interviewed Oct 2011 in Kansas City, MO (took 3 weeks)
I applied for the job through my school's career services website and completed a 2:1 first round interview. The questions were average or slightly above, with a couple of curve balls and tests thrown out to see how I handled dealing with pressure. I'm sad to say I didn't get the second round.

Interviewed Oct 2011 in Richmond, VA (took a day)
I got a strange vibe from this firm. Their questions were all about leadership style and everything about the questions seemed very soft.

Interviewed Nov 2010 in Boston, MA (took 5 weeks)
3 interviews total. First is simple half hour 1:1 talk, second round is more intense. It's a panel interview for about 2 hours. They ask you to come in prepared to talk about their brands & have you write an essay while waiting. Third interview is a day in the field with a sales manager & district manager. Overall, the three interviews weren't too tricky, just a lot of time, energy & work. They're really open & nice as a company & make it not too intimidating.

Interviewed Sep 2011 (took 1 week)
Met with them at a career fair. Signed up for an interview for later that week. They asked a couple of behavioral questions. If you're successful they will set you up immediately for a 2nd interview with a group panel. That interview lasted about 45 minutes. They really grill you here. Mostly behavioral questions.

Interviewed Oct 2011 in Washington, DC (took 1+ week)
Approximately 3 weeks after submitting my resume I received a phone call from a Sales Manager requesting 20 minutes of my time for a phone interview. Interview asked what I knew about the position as well as STAR's based questions. He then explained a little bit more about the position and said he would be in touch. Later that day he called back to schedule a panel interview for the following week. Arrive at least 15 minutes early to the interview, as there are three questions you have to answer on a piece of paper prior to the panel. This was definitely difficult. I spent a lot of my time going over their mission, values, products, history, etc. to prepare for the interview but none of this was asked. There were three individuals in the room, including the one that conducted the phone interview. All three were very personable. They asked me about my life, and then all STAR's based questions. Most were easy, but there were a few difficult ones - the follow-up questions in particular (i.e. "If I wanted you to teach me how to do that, how would you go about doing so?). At the end they asked a situational question and then allowed me to ask any questions I had. The interview lasted about an hour and they said they would contact me in 5-7 business days to let me know whether I was moving forward to the day in the field or not. That's where I am right now... wish me luck!
** UPDATE** So after not receiving a call back as mentioned, I called the Unit Manager (person who conducted my initial phone interview and was involved in the panel interview as well). I called on the 10th business day and said I was just calling to check on the status of my candidacy. He told me that he doesn't have any say in the decision making process and he would contact the HR Department and have them contact me "very shortly". Three business days later I still have yet to receive a call or an e-mail.
