Interviewed May 2010 (took a day)
Telephone interview with a group of people which consisted of technical questions. Questions not only regrarding background, but also about procedures and processes. Questions were those usually asked after the first interview when a company is seriously considering to extend an offer. Considering the phone interview was detailed, and lasted over 30 minutes a response would be expected. No response to date, 60 days after interview.

Interviewed Sep 2009 in Waltham, MA (took 2 months)
I worked with a recruiter, had a phone interview with the hiring manager, had a lunch interview with the hiring manager, went in for interviews with about 5 people, and a few weeks later met with the hiring manager and another employee for dinner.
The interviews were fairly informal, with behavioral type questions.
The whole process was quite drawn out. It seemed that maybe they couldn't get the budget approved, and also they didn't seem to quite know what they were looking for.
I thought that I'd get hired, but didn't.

Interviewed Mar 2010 (took 5 weeks)
The initial phone interview was not scheduled. The manager called and started asking me questions. He did refer me to the panel face to face. It lasted about 45 minutes and consisted of situational questions. HR overview followed and then flew home. Waited almost 3 weeks to hear a rejection.

Interviewed Jan 2010 (took 4 months)
Potential Manager extremely gracious and open with company and position information; pro's and con's of the position, territory, company. Several telephone conversations, homework assignments- including proposed business plan and pages of questions re: experiences and handling of situations. Two 1:1 interviews- of greater than 1.5 hour duration. Interviews relaxed and friendly- but PM drove the subject matter. Final interview with PM & division VP. VP came across controlling and used negativity and questioning of ambition and company loyalty (I've been employed by same company x 30 years) - didn't leave me with the impression I would be happy working under this VP. VP more focused on ability to retain someone in this position than experience, qualifications, and enthusiasm for the position (? turnover rate?). Process took 4 months- corporate work culture and decision-making driven downward from VP level. Reflecting back, probably not a lot of autonomy at Manager level. PM told me the job offer went to the candidate the VP felt would be most likely to stay long-term.
