Interviewed Dec 2011 in Montgomery, AL (took 4+ weeks)
I met with a gentleman who was the manager of the control tower facility nearest to me. It was a casual, friendly conversation, with many of the questions consisting how I handle pressure, times in my life where things didn't go my way, my hobbies, why I want to go into this field, etc. Post-interview communication went through FAA human resource specialists. Mine was very helpful in keeping my abreast of my application status.

Interviewed Oct 2011 in Tampa, FL (took a day)
I applied online through Tampa, FL civil service. Was asked to come in to do typing and skills test within 2 weeks. Upon arrival, after paying $7.00 to park in downtown Tampa, FL the place was flooded with people applying for the same job 1 week before the deadline. Typing was easy, just type the addresses correctly with good speed. Skills test was average, mostly logical questions that pertain to job. Study guide is online at the civil service website. You will know before you leave if you will pass the test. I recieved an email stating I was in the ranking for the job and the FAA and not Tampa Civil Service would contact me if they wanted to setup an interview. No call, or follow up after numerous attempts to contact everyone about status.... (this seemed to be the industry)
Other Details
The interview consisted of a Skills Test.

Interviewed Oct 2011 in Alexandria, VA (took 3 months)
From the time the job closed to interview, it was almost 4 months. Was asked a series of several "what would you do in this situation" questions. They thanked me for my time and asked if I had any questions. Was told that an offer could take just as long as the interview process did and not to give up.

Interviewed Mar 2010 in Jamaica, NY (took 4+ weeks)
For a federal agency, the interview process was very well structured. There were several questions, and the interview was timed.
Negotiation Details
Government job, so, no much room for salary negotiation. Benefits for federal employees are pretty much standard across the board for all.
Other Details
I applied In-Person and the interview consisted of a Group/Panel Interview.

Interviewed Nov 2010 (took a day)
Overall the process was simple and straightforward. I applied online and was called by a manager several days after the announcement closed. Focused on my experience and abilities. As well as, flexibility, and ability to manage/lead. The setting was casual and non threatening. I did get plenty of KSA related questions.

Interviewed Nov 2009 in Indianapolis, IN (took a day)
I failed the interview by not fully understanding a two part question. In all honesty, I was overqualified for the position, or at least it would not have been a good match for my work ethic.
