Interviewed Jan 2008 in Toronto, ON (Canada) (took 2+ weeks)
It was a lean and simple process. All along a HR consultant supported me in maintaining me up to date on the status of my application. In a matter of a week, I was offered the position. I was able to negotiate my salary.

Yes. Always negotiate, it is easier before than after. If they have already identified you are the candidate they will be more willing to accept your demands.

Interviewed Dec 2009 (took 2 weeks)
CIBC advertised the position through the university's intern office. Received invitation to interview by email. Interview consisted of a number of behavioral-type questions, one case study, and a couple of technical questions. Overall experience of interview was positive, as the HR and supervisor took the candidate seriously. Advice: be prepared for the case study question, because that caught me off guard.

Interviewed Feb 2009 in Toronto, ON (Canada) (took 3 weeks)
This was an internal interview. Initial interview was over the phone with a Human Resources employee asking generic management type questions. Interview was setup well in advance giving ample time to prepare; questions were as expected for a junior management position (behavioural etc.). Having sit on the other side of the table, I advise all to really prepare and ask others who have been in the position previously; ask them to go through a mock interview with you so you can focus on improving weak spots.
Negotiation Details
I was able to negotiate, and in fact, as a surprise was given a higher salary than initially wanted. Be honest with your expectations and show your value!
Other Details
The interview consisted of a Phone Interview, a 1:1 Interview and a Background Check.
