Interviewed Aug 2011 (took 11 months)
I was interviewed by a 3rd party company in Jan '11. It was behavioral. Then I did not hear anything from them until August. I had an technical interview with Hiring manager on 25th Aug '11. I did not hear back from them since then. I emailed and called the HR but there was no response. Worst recruiting process I have ever seen.

Interviewed Sep 2010 in Columbus, IN (took 2+ weeks)
The hiring process was through a third party who helped with the interview but denied any negotiation. The interview process was straight forward with questions being asked about my projects and previous experience.Though I had 6 1 on 1 on the same day which became a bit tiring and repetitive.

Interviewed Oct 2011 in Memphis, TN (took 5 days)
I applied on-line by submitting my resume and cover letter to the HR Generalist on a Tuesday. She responded immediately and wanted to interview me within a matter of days after reviewing my resume. About three days later (Friday), she and I scheduled an over the phone interview that lasted about 35 minutes. This was also when she asked if I could attend an in-person interview. The following Monday was the in-person interview with both the HR Generalist and HR Manager which lasted about an hour and a half where I was told to follow-up in two weeks. One month after the interview, I was offered the job.

Interviewed Nov 2011 (took 2 months)
I received an invitation for a face-to-face interview through my college's career services website. I interviewed with two representatives on-campus and the interview lasted 30-40 minutes. The interview was meant to be behavioral but ended up having shades of a technical interview because of some of the things I mentioned. In my opinion, I think this helped me stand out. I received an invitation for a phone interview a few weeks later. The phone interview was behavioral, lasted about 30 minutes. The interviewer wanted to find out more about the projects I'd been involved in and what kinds of roles I played. A couple of weeks after that I gave another phone interview. This interview seemed fairly pointless as I found myself answering the same questions as before. In any case, all the interviews went off very well. I expected a call to visit Columbus, IN, next. A couple of weeks later, when I did get the call, I was simply shocked to have been extended a full-time offer. I received all the official documents a week later. The offer was better than what I expected and I accepted it.
