Interviewed Apr 2010 in Chicago, IL (took a day)
It was an interview with a few managers, not too bad. You also do a typing skills test to see where you are as far as typing ability. As long as you can do about 40 words per minute you are fine. You need to be able to type quickly when people call in and want to place an advertisement.
Negotiation Details
You don't negotiate. It is what it is, take it or leave it.

Interviewed Apr 2007 (took 3 months)
The phone interview was informal. They mostly asked for and checked with the 3-4 references I gave them and it seemed all of them gave me good words. It then followed with an on-site interview which was also very informal. I met with 5-6 people who were supposed to be important in the hiring process and spent the rest of the day chatting and doing lunch with a group of future co-workers in the same department. Most of them were casual chatting. The hiring manager was trying to show me how "employee friendly" the company was and I was very impressed.
The company remained "employee friendly" even after 2007 big laid off.
