Interviewed Nov 2011 in Oakland, CA (took 1+ week)
Applied online.
Contacted by Recruiter and talked briefly about experience and job position.
First a phone Interview with Hiring Manager; mainly diving deeper into resume/experience and more in-depth into job position.
Second an on-site 1:1 interview with a group/panel (about 8 total); All interviews were very open/informal, with no specific format or questions... mainly talked with each interviewer about how their position ties into potential job position.

Reason for Declining
Offer was for $88k/year with $9k signing bonus... way to low for location, field and years of experience.

Interviewed Jun 2011 in Oakland, CA (took 3 days)
Interviews occurred on three seperate days. The first day was an interview with the department manager. The second day was a multi-person in-person interview with the department manager and then his group, indiividually. The last day was a phone interview with the VP of the division. I thought that the people who work there came across as really loving it and trying their best to ensure that the candidate would be a good fit for the organization and the department. I also appreciated how everyone had read through my entire resume and asked me questions about little details and how I would be able to convert those skills into something that would benefit the firm. The offices in Oakland were spectacular. They occupy 20+ floors and the floor I was on was brand new and quite beautiful. Glass windows everywhere allow for lots of natural light and give 360 views of the Bay Area.

Interviewed Feb 2011 in Oakland, CA (took 2 weeks)
I applied for this position at Clorox, did a phone interview with HR, and another phone interview with a member on the team. I was offered to come on-site immediately. So, I took the day off from my work, and met with about 7 different members on the team. The first interviewer just didn't seem to get the point of the conversation. He spent most of the time bragging about the "excellent" work that their team does, rather than focusing on evaluating my background for the role. The other interviewers were OK, though they were mostly scratching the surface than being interested in understanding deeply what I can offer to the company and how my background would match to the job profile. After the full-day interview process, the HR mentioned that they will be in touch with me later. And guess what.. I never heard from them since then. It is just apalling that a company like Clorox would be so disrespectful to a candidate's time and effort.

Interviewed Apr 2010 in Oakland, CA (took 3 weeks)
Pretty standard interview process - did one phone interview with HR and two all day interviews onsite. Overall I interviewed with about 7 or 8 people at varying levels. Lots of behavioral-type questions ("Tell me about a time....") and a few situational ("What would you do if...."). Nothing was out of the ordinary.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
HR was very upfront about the salary and benefits package - laid it all on the table before I even had an offer. I thought the offer was very fair and did not go through much negotiation with the exception of vacation days.

Interviewed Feb 2009 in Oakland, CA (took 4 weeks)
In total, I had 4 interviews, each about an hour long:
1st Interview - phone screen with a Director (45mins)
2nd Interview - on site 1:1 lunch with a Director (1hr)
3rd Interview - on site 1:1 with a Sr. Manager (1hr)
4th Interview - on site 1:1 with a Director (1hr)
All four interviews were fairly similar. In essence they go through 3 things: (1) tell me about yourself, background, what are you passionate about, etc.; (2) why this job, why Clorox, why location, why you; (3) several "mini cases" - they will give you real life situations about Clorox brands and ask you how you would think about them: what questions would you ask, how would you go about analyzing the situation, what your recommendation would be given little information, etc.
All in all, not a terribly difficult interview process, esp. for someone with a legit MBA that has been trained properly on how to interview. Just stick to the marketing frameworks you've learned while adding your own personal touches to the story and you'll be solid. One other piece of advice is to come across VERY confident. There is a strong culture here that loves extroverts and folks who are terribly outspoken, so ride the line of confident to almost cocky...be self assured.

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 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.
