Interviewed Nov 2011 in Verona, WI (took 3 weeks)
I received a personality screening after submitting my resume. The next step was a phone interview that discussed potential fit, the position, and growth opportunities. After two weeks, I was instructed to take an aptitude test in Wisconsin (any site near you would suffice).
After two weeks, I was told that I did not get the position.

Interviewed Oct 2011 in Verona, WI (took 3 weeks)
Overall, the interview process was pretty standard. They seem to just bring in a ton of people, and the headquarters is absolutely amazing. I think that the process was one of the easier ones I did (mostly tech and trading jobs), but pretty comprehensive. I really liked the people, and I LOVED Madison. Treat it like a free vacation, and don't let the website be a turnoff.
Interview Questions
Reason for Declining
I really only declined because I don't like the system they used, and the place seemed to have an organizational structure that was too flat for me.
Other Details
I got the interview through a College or University and the interview consisted of a Phone Interview, a 1:1 Interview, a Presentation, an IQ/Intelligence Test, a Skills Test and a Personality Test.

Interviewed Sep 2011 in Verona, WI (took 4 weeks)
Got phone interview first, then personality test. Did fine on both. Next part was programming on paper which I didn't like doing at all, and as a result I didn't do great on it. Two week later got informed that I didn't pass.

Just pass the phone interview, the interviewer was very nice. You don't even need to prepare for it. Relax and you won't screw it.

Interviewed Apr 2011 in Verona, WI (took 4 weeks)
I began the process by filling out an application available through a jobs website. I was contacted immediately via email informing me that I could expect an email with a link to a personality test. I was also asked to set up a phone interview. The personality test consisted of some standard questions (responses range from strongly disagree to strongly agree) as well as some questions testing basic math and language concepts. The phone interview was fairly standard as well. After these processes, I was asked to schedule a day where I could travel to their campus for a series of in-person interviews.
Since I was somewhat local, I drove to their campus. The first half of the day consisted of the staff in the HR department selling the company to the interviewee. This included a brisk walking tour of their campus, a product demonstration, lunch with an employee, and a group (other interviewees, 3-4) interview with someone employed in the position for which we were being interviewed. Following this, the interviewees were separated and taken to a scenario interview where the interviewer (also employed in tech services) ran through a list of scenarios and asked how we would respond. With this concluded, I continued to an interview with my HR recruiter. Again, it was a standard interview, with some questions being repeats from the phone interview.
The day was concluded by sitting for a series of three exams, testing verbal, quantitative, and programming aptitude. The questions on the verbal/quantitative portion were less difficult than one would get on the GRE exam, and the programming exam covered material one would expect to learn in a beginner programming course.
Overall, it was a positive interview experience. All of my questions were met with thoughtful, detailed responses. The campus is impressive, if a bit kitschy, and is under a constant state of expansion. The employees, although seemingly exhausted (perhaps this was exasperated by the flexible dress code), appeared to still enjoy the many challenges that a tech services job entails. All told, I was impressed with the goals of the company (though not the programming language-VB 6), and would have accepted the job if offered. However, I received a call from my recruiter within the week that the company would not be selecting me.

Interviewed Dec 2010 in Madison, WI (took 4+ weeks)
The interview process was actually very pleasant. I felt like they were willing to answer any question I had, and talked about very detailed aspects of the Job. I wish they'd been a little bit more open about talking about their software ( though I understand they wouldn't go into details).

I did not negotiate because they actually offered what I asked for (A little over).

Interviewed May 2010 in Madison, WI (took 4 weeks)
The questions asked during the phone interviews and on-site interviews were very behavioral in nature, very few technical ones. The on-site visit was great. They roll out the red carpet for potential employees.
Interview process consisted of:
45-minute HR-type phone interview
On-campus math/programming skills assessment (basic programming logic)
3 interviews on-site with managers/ staff
