Interviewed Apr 2011 in Chicago, IL (took a day)
I reached out to the potential interviewer on Twitter which was a one-off case and from there there was no turning back. Once I was approved to be hired Edelman did whatever it could to ensure I relocated from another country with great care. The entire transition process was smooth. Hats off to the recruitment team. I'm happy where I am.

Interviewed Nov 2011 in Chicago, IL (took 4 weeks)
I applied for an Account Supervisor position and received an interview request about 3 weeks after I applied online. I went in for an in-person interview with 4 different people (1 with HR and 3 from the team I'd be working in), and interviewed with each person individually for about 30 minutes each. I also had to take a writing test, which took about 90 minutes. The writing test was both on grammar and writing style.
After the initial set of interviews, I received a follow-up phone call about 1 week later. Both myself and the HR rep felt that I wasn't professionally ready for the Account Supervisor position, but he was expressed an interest in keeping me at top-of-mind as he and the staff I interviewed with think I'd be a great fit for the team. At the time, I was interviewing with 2 other companies, which I mentioned to HR.
About 3 weeks after the follow-up call, I received an offer for a position below Account Supervisor, but one that fit what I felt I was professionally prepared for.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
My negotiation phase was a little different than others because I didn't actually interview for the position I was offered/accepted. That said, I researched salaries for similar titles with my level of education and experience, so I felt I had a good grasp on what I could expect. My advice is to research salaries, give a range and be willing to negotiate on other areas (vacation, start date, etc).

Interviewed Apr 2011 in Washington, DC (took 3 days)
My initial contact with the company was an email from a Vice President that thought my skills might be a match. After responding to his email and sending my resume, I was contacted by an awesome HR rep for the phone screening. This was a standard check for background on skills, etc. After that I was brought in for a panel interview with two Senior VP's and an EVP that was the Group Head for the practice I would be working for. I also had to do a timed writing test that wasn't well catered to the Digital position I was being hired for, but was still challenging.
I would recommend being prepared on the type of work Edelman does on a day-to-day and ask questions about the current client relationship. Your work experience will differ greatly depending on the account and team members you work with. Everyone is super talented, but I found that it takes different skills to be successful with your team depending on the level of trust a client has in the work they want.

Interviewed Sep 2011 in Chicago, IL (took a day)
I applied online and received a call from HR. He set up an interview with me and three other people in the department I was applying for, one peer and two supervisors. However, each interview was done individually. I don't have previous agency experience, but had worked in a similar industry. I really would have liked to do a panel interview to allow myself more time to demonstrate my relevant experience instead of repeating myself over and over again.

Interviewed Nov 2010 (took 2 weeks)
After a phone interview with HR, 1:1 phone interviews with various team members were set up. Then there was an in-person group interview over lunch followed by a spelling, grammar and writing test. Questions wer hard-hitting and specific but reasonable. An offer was made soon after. The process was well-organized and relatively quick.

Interviewed Jul 2010 in New York, NY (took 6 weeks)
An inhouse recruiter reached out via LinkedIn. I had a phone screener, then met with all the senior members of our department, as well as seniors from our overall group. Had constant contact with the hiring manager. I also had to sit a one hour written "situation test" and a one hour written "writing test". When I accepted the offer I had to sign a consent form for a background test.

Quick and painless. No want you want and be prepared to negotiate. Best to find out about their vacation policies in advance as they can't budge on those.

Interviewed Apr 2007 in New York, NY (took 1+ week)
The process began with a brief email interview to see if on a basic level my interests were aligned with the company's work. I then went to the company's office on three separate occasions for interviews. I met with the lead from the group I was applying to for a screening interview the first time, each time after I met with several members of the group individually. The interviews were intensive, and there was no set style. It was a bit disorganized, as no one knew what position exactly I was applying to or what projects I would be working on if I was hired. It seemed they knew they needed bodies but hadn't determined exactly what capacity or for which kind of work. At the time the group was growing, so there was some flexibility, but now the group is likely clearer on what they are looking for. You definitely want to go to this interview rested and ready to demonstrate clarity in your thinking, show you are strategic and back-up your logic.
The test prosses was also intensive, your typical grammar test and then a writing test that required familiarity with recent news stories. Candidates are asked to critique a company's recent communications strategy - what was good about it and what could have been done better.
Though the process was intensive, it was a test that revealed who you are and your abilities to the company while also providing the interviewee some perspective into what it might be like to work there.
