Interviewed Feb 2009 in Washington, DC (took 3 weeks)
The interview and hiring process were well handled by the HR department. They moved things along at a fair pace and communicated well with the executive recruiter who set up the interview. They did everything they said they were going to do. They were generous with the flight cost and hotel cost reimbursement. They repaid the expenses very quickly too. They did a good job explaining the role to the recruiter. They answered every question that I asked and didn't dodge any issues. They painted an accurate picture of the work and the environment. When I asked to spend some time with some of my future colleagues, they didn't freak out and the people I met with were gracious through the process.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
They were as flexible as I would expect. They gave me adequate time to consider the offer and then agreed to extend my notice period for my former employer from the tradition 2 weeks to 4 weeks (so I could offer better transition assistance).
Other Details
I got the interview through a Recruiter and the interview consisted of a Phone Interview, a 1:1 Interview, a Group/Panel Interview and a Background Check.

Interviewed Jul 2011 in Washington, DC (took 4+ weeks)
First there was a 30-minute HR interview, followed by two separate phone interviews with Research Associates that lasted about 30 minutes each (about a week later), then another phone interview the following week with a manager/senior associate, then an in-person interview at the D.C. headquarters with 7 different individuals (some were with two at a time, and a couple were on the phone to the other AIR locations). Overall a very nice interview process, they paid for flight and accommodations to D.C. and were very friendly.

Interviewed Feb 2011 (took a day)
I discovered AIR at a job fair, and researched online. They appeared to have received a large new government contract and were bulking up their IT group substantially, including senior management, front line managers, and technical staff. The existing IT group was not so large. The recruiter at the job fair seemed very positive I would be considered, but I did not get a call back within a week so I applied online. I received a phone interview with their recruiter a few days after that. In this case, the recruiter did both a 'phone screen' and an initial interview in the same hour... in effect I had to get through some screening questions in order to keep going. For this job, she really stressed the commute that I would have to make... I think that reflects that the operations jobs probably require some server rebooting etc and they wanted someone who was able to effectively supervise overnight. The technical questions were not difficult. I didn't get the position. I wrote a thank you a month later and their HR politely responded.

Interviewed May 2008 in Washington, DC (took 3 weeks)
I applied on-line. A recruiter contacted me via e-mail. Then, I had a phone-interview. Then I was invited for on-site interview. I had an interview with a hiring manager and few more people. Interview process was smooth and people were very nice and friendly. Then, I talked with a HR staff about benefits, etc.
