Interviewed Nov 2010 in Chicago, IL (took 2 days)
I found the job posting online and was later contacted by email for a phone interview. The person on the phone was the director and asked me about my qualifications for the position, my depth of knowledge of social/market research methodologies, survey experience, and statistical experience. Then I was invited for an in-person interview with the Senior Director and she asked only a hand full of questions. She asked what I am not good at and want to improve and then answered my questions.
I received an offer a week later, signed a contract and started working right after they checked my education.
Overall it was a nice experience. I emailed the Director back and forth and he answered my questions quickly and thoroughly.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
I did not negotiate my starting salary. I would advice others to negotiate firmly if there are other prospective job offers because CareerBuilder pays well below market. I was not offered a market rate for a consultant and the company in general pays very low to anyone not in sales.
Other Details
I Applied Online and the interview consisted of a Phone Interview, a 1:1 Interview and a Background Check.

Interviewed Jul 2011 in Chicago, IL (took 4+ weeks)
First, I submitted my resume online. Next, I had a pleasant phone interview with the hiring manager who invited me in. I met with her and two potential direct reports and believed we had a great rapport. The culture seemed driven, highly-focused on measurement, but with a “work hard, play hard” mentality.
I was invited for a final interview, but had to complete a 5-part assignment with quantitative analysis, two writing assignments, etc. the Thursday evening before a holiday weekend. I spent most of the holiday working on the assignment, which seemed to require in-depth knowledge of the company. I did extensive research and even signed up for their services to try to gather knowledge, but still needed to make some assumptions.
During the final interview, I met with a potential peer (who seemed very impressed with my samples), three potential direct reports (two from the first meeting and a direct hire, relatively young team), another senior manager (who seemed so comfortable with me that we were talking about professors and common classmates by the end of the interview, given that we received our MBA from the same college, and a final discussion with the hiring manager where I presented the highlights from my assignment. Overall the process was great until I received a canned rejection letter. I couldn’t believe that I didn’t warrant a more personal letter after spending at least 22 hours of my life across multiple days. Even more insulting was the fact that I saw the position posted for weeks following the end of the process. I've been turned down for positions a few times in the past, but never in such an unprofessional way--especially so far into the process.

Interviewed Dec 2009 in Chicago, IL (took 2 days)
For my interview I first had about a 10 minute phone interview and then was asked to come in and meet with one of the hiring managers. During the first interview I met with one manager and also was asked to take a personality test. A few days later I was called in to meet with another manager and the VP of sales. I'd say about 2 days after that i was called with my offer.

Interviewed Feb 2007 in Chicago, IL (took a day)
After applying, i was contacted almost immediately by a recruiter. After a brief phone conversation with her, I was scheduled for an interview with the sales manager under whom I would be working. Following his interview, I met with the director of the group. These were both relatively simple interviews and I was offered a job later that day.
