Interviewed Aug 2011 in New York, NY (took 6 weeks)
Erratic. It took 6 weeks for nothing. The hiring executive was extremely responsive and had the scheduler reply to a cold e-mail inbound to the executive to schedule a phone interview which was fast and smooth. Round two happened over the next few days which was also smooth and professional. From there the wheels came off in a big way. I was told to expect a follow up phone interview with the hiring executive over the coming week but got zero follow up. I left polite phone messages for the round two recruiter every 3 - 5 days politely requesting the follow up status. Three weeks later I get a curt e-mail saying they're waiting until after the holiday for next steps. While this isn't a deal killer in and of itself did it really have to take this long as opposed to a polite reply with the same information?
After the holiday another four polite follow up messages over three weeks until I finally get another rude e-mail saying they're not moving forward with anyone at all. I've got to believe the hiring executive wouldn't be this unprofessional but she should really get a clue about how bad her "HR" recruiting professional is. The scheduler was the only positive part of the process although even she didn't have any follow through either.
I don't expect HR / recruiters to find me for a job, but at least reply back to messages when an EVP asks you to follow up and especially you've put someone through multiple rounds of phone interviews.
Don't forget todays senior executive candidate is tomorrows client.

Interviewed Jan 2008 (took a day)
The initial phone screening lasted about 30 minutes. Interviewer asked questions regarding my experience, suitability for the job, and the reason for transition. Interview process was fairly easy and focused mainly on the prior experience. There were four 1:1 sessions for an hour each with the heads of different departments.

Interviewed Sep 2008 (took a day)
Interviewer was on time, very respectful and generally the people that I wanted to work with. There were some quiet difficult questions to answer but interviewer was good at making me feel very comfortable. It ended up being more like a conversation not certainly stuffy. I expected "corporate" attitude but find normal people which was really nice, took away the intimidation of talking to corporate people.
