Interviewed Feb 2010 in Ewing, NJ (took 2 days)
I applied for the position through Adecco, there are other agencies that hire for ETS. First they gave me a quiz to test my MS office, grammar, and internet skills, I remember the office and grammar being done at home. At the interview, I was asked the normal questions about myself, previous work, and why I should be hired. Then I watched a video on "fruit words", which basically was telling you not to be offended when a customer curses you out, and took a drug test. After, you basically wait for them to call you and say training is starting for a certain department.

There isn't really a negotiation phase. You get paid the amount they offer at the time and that generally doesn't change throughout your time working for them
Other Details

Interviewed Mar 2011 (took a day)
I had been invited to attend the interview by both the hiring manager and HR Rep. At the beginning, it was a little bit strange because when I arrived, there was nobody there. The hiring manager was a little late and didn't know I had been waiting.
When I met the person that would interview me, he explained there would another person (Executive Director) present. There were no "typical" questions, which was good, no trick or surprise questions to answer. They only gave me about half an hour to talk about my skills and to "sell myself". Then, there was another interview, this one at the HR headquarters, which they call Strategic Workforce Solutions or something preposterous like that. The atmosphere was very convivial and positive, I had a good feeling about the whole experience.

Interviewed Jan 2010 (took 2+ weeks)
The initial interview was over the phone. There was a second in-person interview where you would first meet with a recruiter to discuss benefits and the organization. After meeting with a human resources recruiter, I met with the corresponding team. Persons on the team interviewed individually and in pairs.
Work environment was great. People were nice.
