Interviewed Nov 2011 in San Francisco, CA (took 3 weeks)
Really smooth interview process. The HR department was responsive and always answered emails and phone calls promptly. Everything went well until the offer came through and they were not willing to negotiate on salary or benefits. Oddly, was given the hard sell and guilt trip when I declined the offer.

Interviewed Mar 2011 (took 3 weeks)
I was contacted by a recruiter and after a brief phone interview I was invited to come in and interview with the team. The interview consisted of two one on one interviews with senior team members and a small group interview with more junior team members. The interviews lasted about 2 hours but they weren't grueling, just repetitive. I was invited back a few days later to take a writing test which included basic spelling and grammar and a sample press release.

Interviewed Jul 2007 in New York, NY (took a day)
A woman I worked with at my previous job passed along my resume and mentioned I would be interested in relocating to New York. The head of the division called me to ask if I could "swing by and meet some people." I'm not sure if anything formal was ever arranged. I met with four different people, each for 30 minutes. They asked some general questions about my resume and one of them explicitly told me I should probably go work in D.C. instead of New York.
After the interviews, I took a quick AP style test and timed writing test. It was a single open-ended question and was easy enough, but no one told me about it until it was starting.
Honestly, if I hadn't had connections within the company to give me a better sense of how things worked, I doubt I would have wanted the job. That said, I LOVE working at Edelman.

Negotiation Details
I got a lot out of negotiation, mostly by playing softball with them. They increased my title once I demonstrated that I had additional experience

Interviewed Feb 2008 (took 3+ weeks)
The process was pretty time consuming and took a really long time. The follow up was quick at times and then really slow during others.

Interviewed Jul 2007 in Chicago, IL (took 1 week)
I was interviewed by in-house HR about the position. I spoke to the HR person about the position. I was invited in to a 1:1 interview with someone in the practice. After that meeting, I was asked to take a writing test to see if my skills were up to par for the job. I was called about a week later letting me know they had found another candidate for the job.
