Interviewed Mar 2011 in Bellevue, NE (took a day)
All HR interviews were done online via email. All my questions were answered and the HR represenative was very patient with me.
My technicial interview was tough but it was also rewarding. I was given a chance to communicate with my direct supervisor and my peers during the interview.
Negotiation Details
I was able to negoiate my salar range but not my PTO. I originally stated the range but with limitations. I was willing to work for a lower salary if I received more PTO. They never accepted that request and sort of ignored it. HR forwarded me my offer letter with the lower salary amount but the standard PTO limits. I was disappointed and I knew I could say no and request more but I really need the job.
My recommendation is ensure that you already have a job before you negotiate your salary.

Interviewed Dec 2011 (took a day)
The interview with the hiring manager went fine. She put me totally at ease and was friendly and professional. Then I interviewed with one of her project managers who asked some tough questions but who was also very professional. The work culture seemed pretty formal, dress code was business dress and CSC was very concerned with providing the best possible service for the customer. He mentioned that the customer is pretty hard to please.

Interviewed May 2011 in Montreal, QC (Canada) (took a day)
I got a call from the operational manager for a group interview. A team leader was there with the operational manager. They asked questions about my past work experiences, how do I handle situations. They wanted to see how I handle different situations with colleagues and customers.

Interviewed Feb 2012 (took 2 days)
First thing that was asked by the interviewers were, "What do you know about our company?". Secondly, the proceeded to ask about a program which no one really knows anything about. Third, the asked the usual questions, "where do you see yourself in 3-5 years?", "tell us about a difficult/positive situation" etc... Finally, the asked, 'how much money do you want to make?". When I gave them my previous salary requirements for essentially the same job they replied, "that's a little too high". I have heard that this company was cheap, but really? That did not give me a warm and fuzzy. Neither when they said this was a "fixed-price" contract. Uh-oh!

Interviewed Feb 2011 (took 4 weeks)
The process was extremely drawn out and painful. I was forced to turn over information several times as the hiring representative lost it twice, after I overnight mailed it all twice. This almost cost me the job as they have a 7 day window to get all paperwork in to HR. The intricacies of the bureaucracy in this company are just disgusting. I will be hunting for a new job soon, as I like to be proud of my work and not just proud of sucking money out of a client.

Interviewed Dec 2011 (took a day)
I was interviewed by 4 individuals ranging from the Strategy Group senior VP down to a Senior Consultant. The interviews were mostly personality and behavioral based. Surprisingly, they did not ask any case based questions. Overall, I thought the process was relatively easy. Two of the interviewers seemed to struggle knowing what questions they should ask, so it was beneficial to be able to push the session in the direction that best illustrated my strengths

Interviewed Oct 2010 in Washington, DC (took 4+ weeks)
Had an initial phone interview with the head of the section. It was more about my background and less "interview" type questions.
After, had an in person interview with the person to whom I would report, as well as her team. They then verified my education and called all 3 of my references. They went through my strengths and weaknesses, asked for detailed experiences in which I had shown initiative, etc.

Interviewed Oct 2011 (took 4 weeks)
I had 4 phone interviews that went well but I odd that there was no face-to-face interview since I am in the same city. The company is HUGE and the job was vary narrowly defined, which could have been very confining, but I really like the people.
