Interviewed Aug 2011 (took 4+ weeks)
A recruiter called about the position and explained the next steps which consisted of several skills based tests and writing assignments. Since I was an out of town candidate, I did a group/panel VC. Questions were challenging. My advice is to prepare and have follow-up examples at the ready!

Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
I was not given an option to negotiate but there are a lot of folks negotiated for better salary and they won. If your current salary is high, they automatically consider providing higher salary. After you join, it is very hard to get pay rise.

I Applied Online and the interview consisted of a Background Check, a Skills Test, a Group/Panel Interview and a 1:1 Interview.

Interviewed Apr 2011 (took a day)
Applied on line and it took almost a month before receiving a call for a phone interview. After the phone interview, I received another call for panel interview. The panelists were very friendly. Most of the questions are behavioral questions. Be prepared to cite example of how you apply a certain trait in your past work experience.

Extremely long compared to other employers, almost to the extent of being unprofessional. Interview for this place and then don't expect a response for weeks if not months.

Interviewed Sep 2009 in San Francisco, CA (took 6 months)
Applied for an Examiner position. Got a phone call about 3 weeks later to schedule a phone interview. Phone interview happens about 2 weeks later. Questions are basic and behavioral in nature. About a month or 2 goes by and I get the onsite interview. I take a critical thinking test as well as a writing test. I then get interviewed by 3 people in management positions. Questions are basically background as well as scenario/hypotheticals.
