Interviewed Apr 2012 in Beverly Hills, CA (took 3 weeks)
I was called in for an interview with the supervisor. There were pretty standard interview questions. After she narrowed it down to two candidates, she called me a week later to schedule a 2nd interview, which included a one on one interview with her boss, who asked very by-the-book interview questions, and a tour of the areas I would typically work in. Then I met with a few of the people I'd be working closely with which consisted of introductions, not really any questions. After the second interview, they started the background check process. This was done by an outside company, but coordinated by the HR department who became my contact for a week orso while everything sorted out. I also had to take a urine drug test and once those cleared, I was scheduled for a pre-employment physical and meeting with HR to fill out I-9 paperwork, etc. This took a few hours. Then a new employee orientation for a couple of days before beginning actual work!

Interviewed Dec 2011 in Los Angeles, CA (took 2 days)
The first interview was a phone interview with the Director. For a 30 minute interview, she spoke 20 minutes of it and made me feel like I wasn't worthy of the position. I was very surprised when her assistant called back to setup an in person interview with the team. They arranged my flight and hotel arrangements.
When I flew out to Los Angeles and arrived at the hotel, they asked me for payment for the room as Cedars hadn't taken care of it. Fortunately, I have family in Los Angeles and opted to stay with them instead of pay $250 for one night.
The next day, I met with HR first to discuss benefits at Cedars, then was my barrage of interviews. The very first was a 30 minute interview with two of the leads from the team, this went very well. The next was scheduled with the entire team of 10 or more people in a conference room for an hour. Because the manager was in that interview, I didn't have to be subjected to another 30 minute interview which was to follow. It's an all day thing at Cedars, be prepared.
Interview Questions
Reason for Declining
The initial phone interview with the Director let me know that I would not want to work there. The team was great but I knew that they were probably so stressed from having to work under such a rude leader.
Other Details
I got the interview through a Recruiter and the interview consisted of a Phone Interview, a 1:1 Interview and a Group/Panel Interview.

Interviewed Apr 2010 (took a day)
Had a positive response from a phone inquiry into the position and set up an in person interview. Soon into the in person, interviewer behaved as though I was going to be the candidate chosen for the position - asking what I wanted to do in the future and the role I wanted to play in the research group. Was made an offer soon thereafter.

Interviewed Feb 2012 (took 1 week)
Pretty standard one on one interview with the department manager. HR did a good job of sending instructions (address, parking info, map of location). Hiring manager was a little cold, which gave me the impression that she didn't really enjoy the job that much. Was hard getting information regarding the benefits of working there, which to me means there aren't many. But who knows, I didn't get the job so I don't know for sure.
I never heard back from the hiring manager as to whether I got the job or not, but a month has gone by without any word from them and they were looking to fill the position quickly, so I assume they were not interested in proceeding with me. I always find it unprofessional when this happens. You should always let the candidate know if they got the job or not.

Interviewed Jun 2011 (took 4+ weeks)
I applied online twice for this job and did not meet the HR-Recruiter guidelines because I had too much education. I had to call the supervisor directly to get an interview. I was told I could not take the position I wanted, and was offered a less promising position. I took it due to current economy. It took a week for them to offer me position. It took over a month for HR to complete the new hire process, requiring multiple phone calls for each step to be processed. I have never in over 20 years of work experience had to make so many phone calls and emails for a job.

Be prepared for the technical interview and do not lie on your resume because they will ask random questions on what is on the resume.
