Interviewed Jun 2011 (took a day)
Submitted an online application after finding that a position was available through an online job search engine. The online application process was straight forward and the interface was intuitive. Several weeks later, I received an email from an HR recruiter. Through email, we arranged a phone interview. The phone interview was casual but directed by the recruiter. The recruiter did not offer any information about the open position, but began by asking if I had any questions. I did not. He then followed-up with a list of questions asking about my past experiences and he posed a couple of situational instance, "describe a project that I wanted to do that management did not support". For future reference, would recommend taking advantage of the "do you have any questions for me?" to allow you to get a better sense of the context of the job, interviewer, and what to expect rather than just waiting for questions to come your way and hope you field them right.

The supervisors at Arrow really stress work experience versus education.

Interviewed Mar 2010 in Melville, NY (took 2 months)
I had submitted the resume online on Arrow's website in Jan 2010 and I got a reply from the HR representative in last week of March 2010 asking for a phone interview with the manager. I had a phone interview with one of the persons in technical team instead of the manager and was called in for an in person interview on April 15, 2010. I had a 1-1 with 3 people, first the Enterprise Architect who touched upon the basics of Java, JDBC (since the position I interviewed for needed these skills). But later I learnt that these were the standard questions that he asks whomever is interviewed. Next was a semi-HR and technical interview with the Director. This mostly was regarding my previous projects and work experience. Lastly my immediate manager, asked me a few other questions regarding my work experience and how I would like the environment to be. Overall the interview process was good.
They replied to me on May 4, 2010 that they were interested in giving me an offer and that I would receive the offer letter in a week's time. The worst part starts now, a week went by and 2 weeks too, I havent heard from them. I tried contacting the HR rep through email and phone in those 3 weeks but have not got a reply.
I decided not to wait and go ahead with other interviews and pursue other offers. Hence in the 4rd week of my waiting I decided to email the manager, director and the HR saying that if I do not hear from them I would be going for another offer. Initially when the HR answered, said she was waiting for the CIO's approval and then later she said they had a budget crunch and could not get it approved until now.
Instantly I got an email within a day that had my offer letter.
But the twist here is, I was interviewed for a Senior Software Engineer position and in the offer I found that the position has been demoted to Software Systems Engineer and the salary was way less for NY standards. I had called up the HR and also the manager about this. They had a weird explanation and said they found my experience not enough for this position hence they demoted the position. I tried to negotiate my salary but they said they would not know how much more time they would take to get me a revised offer letter. I had accepted the offer even though I felt uncomfortable with it, since it was full time job.

Negotiation Details
I think negotiations can be done with this company, but you need to be really direct and shrewd with them. Otherwise they take you for granted. Even the work environment is like that, that is the reason why I quit.

Interviewed Apr 2010 in Melville, NY (took 2 weeks)
I applied for the Engineer position in Jan, 2010 and I got an intial email communication in March 1st week regarding a phone screen. After 2 simple phone interviews I was called onsite within one day after my last phone interview.
The onsite interview was supposed to last 3 hours and it went really well. I was asked a few technical questions in the first round which was in Core Java. It went on for 45 mins. Later was a technical and HR interview by the manager for 1 hour and another HR interview by another manager for 1 hour.
After 2 weeks I got an email saying my interviews went really well and they are interested in employment. I'm yet to receive an offer from them and I have been waiting since almost a month now. I have contacted them almost every week to receive the same reply its in process. I have decided not to wait any longer for them but just wasted my 2 weeks time doing so. I feel if the company is not interested in hiring, then they have no reason to initiate a conversation to hire people and waste their precious time and also others.

Interviewed May 2008 in Melville, NY (took 6 weeks)
Not bad at all. Very standard interview questions as I went on more and more interviews I sensed the questions got more personal as if they were trying to get to know me and to get a feel for what I would be like to work with.

Interviewed Feb 2010 (took a day)
The company is very Large. Its very important to know exactly what door to enter because there are different divisions to the company and the interviewer will have to walk over if go to the wrong door. The first two people I interviewed with are the lead or supervisors. They seemed very laid back and the interview was very laid back and easy going. The next person you interview with is the Manager and he will be briefed about wether you a good candidate or not. He's pretty laid back to.. but you will immediately know if he interested in hiring you or not within 2-3 mins.
The office is hugh with many open cubicles and the people are mostly all of the same culture or race. I felt comfortable in the interview but I dont think they are very diverse when it comes to hiring other races.

Interviewed Nov 2009 (took 1 week)
My initial interview was with HR and I personally did not belive that I interviewed very well. I was surpised when they called me back for a 1:1 with the hiring manager.
The person that I interviewed with was extremely pleasant and did not appear to have any ego issues, which based upon other posts on this site, I was expecting it. He said that he did not micro manage either. I thought that he was genuine. The interview seemed like it went okay, but I have had really good interviews and not received any offers. With a 100 other people being just as qualified as myself, I am sure it boils down to personality.

Interviewed Mar 2009 in Englewood, CO (took a day)
I interviewed with 2 people. The personalities of the people were what made the interview easy or hard. Both asked behavioral questions. The first person was by the book. The second person was more laid back.
