Interviewed Nov 2011 (took 2 days)
I briefly interviewed with one of their recuiters on the phone then within a week interviewed with four of the department heads in one afternoon. They followed up a few days later with an offer. The process was quick and easy. I found the process pleasant and the managers were professional and polite. Be prepared to ask alot of questions since you will be sitting down with alot of people.

Interviewed Sep 2011 in Chicago, IL (took a day)
It was a standard interview - mainly behavioral. The interviewers were young and pretty much read the questions right off the page. I get the impression this company is looking for "young with exams.". If you don't fit that prototype, you may have a hard time getting a job. Come prepared to tell short stories about about many different situations ranging from teamwork to overcoming obstacles. Hope this helps.

Interviewed Jun 2009 (took 2 weeks)
The company required candidates applying for the senior analysts position to give a presentation on their research or a technical topic. The candidate presents to a team of about 5 employees and then interviews with 3 to 4 managers. The interview was well organized by the HR team and travel/hotel was covered.

First was contacted by HR with a brief resume related talk.
Then was invited to the office for colleague, manager, and group leader interview. All one-on-one.
Just experience and skill questions around resume.

Interviewed Jan 2011 (took 5+ weeks)
The interview process was very laid back, I was expecting hard technical questions but received none (that said, my educational background is very strong and this was reflected in my resume).
I felt they were looking for someone with good technical skills, educational background and that was a good personality match for the rest of the team.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
There were no negotiations that took place. They asked me my desired during the initial phone screening – I told them what I wanted and it never came up again. When I got my written offer it was just slightly above what I asked for so that was nice.

Interviewed Dec 2008 in Chicago, IL (took 2 days)
The interview was very laid back. The interviewers just want to get to know you and determine whether or not you are a good fit for the company. Nothing technical, but make sure to be abel to comment on past experiences and how they will help you build a successful career.

Interviewed May 2010 (took 2+ months)
After going through two rounds of interviews with CNA for a claims position, I was never given the courtesy of a telephone call, letter or email to notify me that the company decided to offer the job to someone else. I think it is incredibly unprofessional that the HR department failed to timely follow up with me. I also think it's incredibly unprofessional to fail to contact a job seeker who made it to the final rounds of interviews to let him or her know of the outcome. Further, the interview process was incredibly disorganized, with HR scheduling my second round of interviews without first checking with me to see if I had availability on that particular date. I was scheduled to be out of town on the date that CNA wanted me to come in for my second round of interviews and CNA was not accomodating when I requested that the interview be rescheduled. Simply put, the interview process was disorganized and handled in an unprofessional manner.

Interviewed Feb 2010 (took a day)
I went to the first round interview on campus, and I got invited for an on site interview within a few days. It consists of three 30mins back to back interviews. The first one was technical, second one was about time management and third was about related experiences I think. I didn't get an offer.
