Interviewed Dec 2011 in Washington, DC (took 6+ weeks)
The recruiter was very lax, which was the tone of all the interactions I had with ACS. The recruiter was not timely or friendly and the HR department and hiring directors were very inappropriate in front of me in the in person interviews. I had written them off even before the offer letter came. I knew I would not want to work for such a place. I've never seen "professionals" act so inappropriately before. This was probably the worst, most unfriendly recruiter I've ever interacted with.

Reason for Declining
I had written them off even before the offer letter came. I knew I would not want to work for such a place. I've never seen "professionals" act so inappropriately before. This was probably the worst, most unfriendly recruiter I've ever interacted with. I did not want to be part of a company like this.
Other Details
The interview consisted of a Phone Interview, a 1:1 Interview and a Group/Panel Interview.

Interviewed Dec 2010 (took 3 weeks)
Interviewers were very detailed - offered more information to applicant during the process as opposed to applicant responses. Interviewed with both individuals and groups - would advised applicants to be ready for questions unrelated to position.
Negotiation Details
Did not negotiate salary - although the option to negotiate would probably have been entertained by hiring officials.
Other Details

Interviewed Jan 2011 in Washington, DC (took 3 months)
Internal interview. Process takes forever. Organization cannot get act together to make up mind. Online application tool is a joke. Makes ACS look bad. HR is barely competent. Polite on phone and in email, don"t seem to have a clue otherwise. Job description detailed, but no one communicated consistently. Different stories from different people. Sounded like an organization that did not have act together.
