Interviewed Aug 2010 (took 5 months)
There were two panel interviews with about 4 people each. I had forgotten that I had applied for this position by the time they called me. They are not that organized so it is best that you come in prepared to gently lead the interview. Then they take about 5 months to actually hire you. Don't quit your job until they give you a start date.

Interviewed Nov 2008 (took 1+ week)
I was in the office for an informational interviewer. The informational interviewer walked me over to the hiring manager. We spoke for a few minutes. Then I submitted a resume and cover letter online and returned for two more 1:1 interviews (with my boss and my boss's boss.) I was made an offer via phone and negotiated via phone. After the offer it took 5 months for the paperwork to make it through the appropriate channels. My start date was 5 months after I negotiated the final salary.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
I was offered the low end of the publicized range and was able to negotiate several thousand more dollars. Talk about your desire to make a long term commitment to the agency and to have the amount of pay allow you to devote 100% of your time to the job. Ask about educational allowances/professional development/paid time for training.

Interviewed Apr 2010 in New York, NY (took a day)
The office was pretty small. I met with three people at once who asked me questions. The interview itself was not difficult. However, what I found odd was that even though there were three interviewers, I asked for a business card, one gave it to me and another claimed,"You will be dealing with Ms. XYZ from now on. We can't give you a business card. That's the protocol and we follow the office protocol". That was very off-putting, as all Id wanted to do was send a thank you card!

Interviewed Nov 2009 (took 4 months)
Be prepared for a very slow interview process. I initially answered a classified ad- it took weeks just to get the first response. The first step was a phone screening. be prepared for the standard interview questions during the phone interview and in some cases technical questions. The next step was responding to an email and questionnare amd again another waiting process. Finally was granted an in person interview. First interview with the Department Head was 1:1 - the subsequent interviews with middle management was a panel interview. After all was said and done- position was put on hold...
