Interviewed Nov 2010 in Kansas City, MO (took a day)
The process was very professional. A human resources representative made all the arrangements and handled initial introductions. They flew me in and arranged for my transportation from the airport. I had a full itinerary ahead of the trip so I knew the names and titles of everyone that I was going to meet. I met with 7 people total for about 45 minutes for each interview. One was with the hiring manager, one with the human resources representative, 2 with other members of the investment team, one with a member of another investment team, and one with the head of the department. The hiring manager also took me out to lunch. Each of the investment teams seem to have their own culture and way of doing things. They are very autonomous and teams within a similar product group may have a slightly different process and use different tools. However, all the teams seem very collaborative and collegial. It is a first class organization that truly values its people.

Interviewed Sep 2008 (took 6 weeks)
Liked everyone I met- very "mid-Western" nice. Also a bit old-fashioned and formal, especially coming from working in public companies and/or startups. Met the HR director, my boss and the team. Everyone had standard questions. In retrospect, I fit the mold of what they wanted- age, gender, experience- so the doors were open.
Negotiation Details
No real negotiations- needed the job too badly to risk losing to an aggressive offer situation. Even though I had 3 other job offers, this is the one I wanted.
Other Details
I Applied Online and the interview consisted of a Phone Interview, a 1:1 Interview, a Skills Test, a Personality Test, a Drug Test and a Background Check.
