Interviewed Aug 2011 in Houston, TX (took 1 week)
I was contacted initially by HR to set up a 1:1 interview on site. The initial interview was about an hour and consisted of a panel asking about my previous work experience. I was contacted a few days later by HR about coming in for a second interview. This time I was interviewed panel style by many employees and managers. I was also asked some technical questions. Everyone was professional, friendly, and it was an overall positive experience. I did not receive any feedback until two weeks later and that was after I contacted the hiring manager. I really wish companies could notify you sooner if you are being denied an offer.

Interviewed May 2009 in Houston, TX (took 1 week)
Interview process was very well structured, as expected from a 60,000+ person company. All interview questions were behavior-based. No technical questions. I went through two rounds of interviews before being offered a position. One was on-campus, the other was on-site at Chevron's New Orleans' office. Interview candidates should review standard interview questions as described by managertools.com, as Chevron heavily uses these types of behavioral questions.

Interviewed May 2011 in Houston, TX (took 4+ weeks)
The first scheduled interview was not coordinated between HR on the west coast and and the site in the mid-west and as a result, when I arrived for my interview, no one was expecting me and everyone was not present so it was postponed. A phone screening followed in 4 weeks.
The phone screening was 30 minutes and mildly technical. The screener was a senior level potential coworker. They were very personable and the screening was somewhat casual. Once it was completed, they were frank and informative.
The following interview was scheduled to be with 2 people, the screener and his project manager. It ended up being a video conference with those 2 present and 4 others on the west coast. It was unexpected, but a pleasant surprise to get to interview with such varied specialties.
The interview took about 1 hour and was comprised of your standard questions and answers, and detailed analysis of my resume.
Bonus: The offices spaces, halls, lobbies were modern and minimalist; very "clean". The people were relaxed and friendly, especially security. Employees were all business-casual. The first floor had lots of vertically open space and the news was on LCD TVs in the walls in various locations. there were what seemed to be coffee stations around similar to what you might find at a convenience store. I presume it is free for employees as they were unmanned. Security is what one would expect at a multi-national conglomerate; badge access everywhere. There was a lot of glass so it was not claustrophobic.

Negotiation Details
There weren't "negotiations" per se, but they do take your directly related experience and current compensation into consideration. As far as competitiveness, they offered me about 10% more than I was asking (plus bonuses) so I would say that generally speaking, they understand the importance of the human component. I don't believe salary would be an issue, at least at the senior IT level.

Interviewed Feb 2010 in Houston, TX (took a day)
Single on-site interview. I originally thought I was getting interviewed one on one. Upon getting there I found out that I was going to be grilled by a group for an hour. The questions were all behavioral and included some curve balls. I had time to ask questions at the end.

Interviewed Aug 2008 in Houston, TX (took a day)
Contacted through career services, had an initial dinner with them the night before, then went to their offices the next day.
3 one on one interviews, about 45 minutes each.
They mostly asked the same questions, so I was unsure if I should tell the same stories over and over.
I tried to vary it up a bit and by the time I got to the last interviewer I had run out of new examples and flubbed it.
Turns out you CAN tell the same stories over and over.... just a tip.

Interviewed Jul 2007 in Houston, TX (took a day)
Overall good interview and very well prepared interviewer.
The interviewer was very well informed about the company, the different career paths, benefits, and other perks. The interview followed the typical behavioral interview format. There was good flow of information in both directions. The interviewer was focused on determining whether I was a match for the company and was also interested in finding out what were my major inclinations with respect to my career path.
