Interviewed Feb 2008 in Oakland, CA (took 1 week)
I applied online and was surprised to get a call from a Clorox recruiter. So it's not true that 'you have to know somebody'. What seems to be important though is have the right keywords in your resume! Resumes are parsed for keywords by the recruiter so they can determine if you are a good match. Then the recruiter calls and asks you some general questions, to determine if they should recommend you to the hiring managers.
So I had the initial recruiter call, followed by a phone interview with the hiring manager. Then I was invited to come in person and meet with about 4 people, one at a time. They then apparently convene and decide if the candidate was right for the job, and if so the initial recruiter will probably be the one to circle back with you with a job offer package.

Negotiation Details
Not really, I was given an offer that was higher than I expected actually, and 6 months later, i was given a big raise. So it worked out well for me - I was generously compensated, I didn't even have to scheme or struggle.

Interviewed Mar 2008 in Pleasanton, CA (took 2 days)
1. Initial interview by phone with prospective manager
2. All day interview scheduled with multiple individuals (scientists and managers). Was escorted to the office of the individual scheduled to conduct the interview for that hour. Was shown the facility, instrumentation and capabilities.
3. Interview questions focused on technical skills (depth and breath), communication, problem solving skills, etc.
4 I perceived people to be highly technical and smart. There appeared to be many micro cultures within the facility.

Interviewed Jan 2007 in Oakland, CA (took 5 days)
Thorough and in-depth professional experience and behavioral-type interview. To start with, I got interviewed 2 times over the phone. Then, they invited me to a one-on-one interview with 5 functional leaders. The nice thing was I go treated to a lunch, which was more or less another personality interview. In total, it took 6 hours. I got an offer a day later.
