Interviewed Nov 2011 in Tempe, AZ (took a day)
Began with an informal 45 minute interview with the standard questions. Low pressure, went over my resume, discussed what I knew about the company, and what the internship entails.
I was never contacted again after the interview and was never told the position went to someone else. The HR department in Tempe seems extremely disinterested. Interviewer was very friendly and the position sounded very appealing.

Mostly personality test in the first round, tougher skill tests in the second round. Opposite of what most do.

Interviewed Jun 2010 in Covington, GA (took 4 weeks)
Two phone interviews lasting over an hour combined with two individuals went well. An on-site interview was then scheduled.
At the start of the on-site, the lead decision maker arrived twenty minutes late for a thirty minute interview slot. He appeared annoyed to start and also appeared to have his decision made even before the conversation began.
The remaining six interviews that day were difficult, but appeared to go well. The interview process lasted seven hours in total.
The environment was fine. Most people were friendly and helpful, ready to answer any questions that you might have; Human Resources was especially helpful.
There is a strong push to grow the business, so expect a high pressure environment from the lead decision maker.
No feedback was received after the interview, only that they were looking for someone else through the recruiter.

Interviewed Nov 2009 (took 2 weeks)
I applied on line. I was phone interviewed by the hiring mgr. An in plant interview was scheduled by HR rep.
HR rep had 20 minutes of questions taken randomly from a pre printed sheet. Typical , deep thought reaching questions. Then I interviewed with 2 engineers from the department. Things went well at the interview. I did not see the hiring mgr because he was out on a personal emergency. I waited 2 weeks and never heard a thing! I found out from an inside source that an internal caniditate had popped up at the last moment. I assume that my being informed had simply fallen through the cracks.

Interviewed Jul 2008 (took a day)
Recruiter set up the interview and screened my resume with previous sales experience. This was a 1st interview and there were 30 other people interviewing over a 3-day period. The company is a very well run company and I heard great things about the job, but was not on my A-game for the interview and was probably not the most qualified to say the least.

Interviewed Aug 2007 in Glens Falls, NY (took a day)
Seems like a pretty standard cookie cutter interview....if you've been interviewed at Wal-Mart as a teenager, expect roughly the same layout. The only difference is the manual skills assesment test; a pegboard with several small metal widgets that you must assemble and place in the holes in the peg board. When completed, they're about the size of a push pin; you must assemble a certain number (I think it was 25 in my case) within a certain time (1 minute for me).

Negotiation Details
Uh...it's a manufacturing job so....expect no negotiations to take place! The pay rate is about $9.76 an hour, with raises every three months for the first year and then annually, and ample opportunity for overtime at 1.5 or 2 times base rate pay.
