Interviewed Feb 2012 (took 4+ weeks)
Lengthy interview process. Met with up to 8 folks. Followed up w/thank you emails to each one expressing appreciation of their time and highlighting main points. Never heard back from them, not even a standard one-line template rejection email.

Interviewed Sep 2011 in Charlottesville, VA (took a day)
Received call from a nice recruiter. Spoke for 10-15 minutes. Received an interview time and location. Felt I was a perfect fit for the position.
Arrived at the interview. Closed door. 1:1 interview with hiring manager in an anonymous office with 2-3 chairs.
Knew within 5 minutes that I would not really be considered for the position and the hiring manager would not like me even if I did have all the qualifications needed.

Interviewed Jun 2008 in Charlottesville, VA (took 1 week)
it may take a while for them to get back to you. follow-up for more likely success. prepare for a two-part interview. the first interview is with human resources and the second is with the department. it is a great place to work, so prepare and you'll do fine.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
no, but the company is very flexible. they hire friendly, easy-going people who won't blink twice at negotiations. i only learned this after i started working there, but it is generally true. take the job if you get an offer, but don't be scared to negotiate if you feel you're qualifications demand it. i doubt, however, that you'll have to, as they compensate more than fairly.
Other Details
The interview consisted of a 1:1 Interview and a Group/Panel Interview.

Interviewed Jan 2009 in Charlottesville, VA (took 3 weeks)
Pretty typical and standard interview. Started out with phone interview with an HR person who just asked basic questions regarding work history, strengths and weaknesses, what the job consists of and interests. Second part of interview process was 1 on 1 meeting with the hiring manager and HR. Met with HR to fill out appplication and go over benefits of the company and history of company and then met with hiring manager to discuss position and my personal qualifications.
Overall, pretty standard interview process. No technical questions were asked. Only negative was that it does take them a while to get back to you and they draw out the process. I was in contact with them for 3 weeks and they told me it would take them another 2 weeks to make a decision.
