Interviewed Aug 2010 (took 1+ week)
Standard STAR setup questions (tell me about a time when...) and a clear expectation of STAR response. Stardard interview fare, nothing tricky or unexpected. No crazy "consulting interview" questions like "how many quarters are in circulation right now?" Met with three different 1:1 interviewers on the same day.

Interviewed Jan 2012 in Dallas, TX (took 2 months)
Two phone screening, an on-site panel interview (4 parts), another phone interview, another phone interview, yet another on-site panel again. Overall, great interview experience with the exception offshore team which always play by the book.
I thought to have an offer after proving myself so many times but HR said they are going to continue to look for. Did not get any feedback the reasons for not being selected. Is that too much to ask for?

Interviewed Dec 2011 in Norcross, GA (took 4+ weeks)
I applied online and received a call from HR about 2 months later. I had an initial screen with HR that was casual and went over my work experience. Within a week or so she setup an interview with the enterprise Quality Program Manager. He was very nice and professional and explained the requirements of the job. About a week later I interviewed with the VP of Enterprise Quality. He asked extensive questions about my background and experience delivering quality programs. Although the interview was more difficult than the first it was straight forward and I felt confident about my answers. I then inter ideas with the VP of Professional Services. This interview also went well and we discussed some of the quality initiatives that needed to be done to help improve customer satisfaction. It took about 2 weeks and then I was invited to Dallas for an in-person interview with the VP of Professional Services. This is where the experience was not good. I was asked 2 days prior to fly to Dallas and sent an email with air and car details. The flight routed me through Charlotte NC although I was based in Atlanta which required me to get up at 2 pm to make the first flight. When I arrived in Dallas the rental car company told me that my flight had not been paid for. They called the travel agent who was not able to get in touch with the person at the company to provide a credit card. I gave my card since there was no other way to get the car. The best case scenario was that I would have only 2 hours at the office to interview if everything went well. Due to a severe rain storm and convention in the city it look me over an hour to get to the office and then only had time for a 1 hour interview before heading back to the airport. The VP of Professional services asked for me to meet with someone to discuss metrics. This gentleman said the most important part of my job would be running the quality metrics but did not believe implementing the quality programs to bring about change was important. He then asked if I had experience forecasting defects in software and I explained no because my past job as a quality manager was for a company that ran internal systems and we were not trying to meet customer requirements to sell them software like FiServ does. I told him I had worked extensively forecasting other metrics and building quality models. He then looked at my resume and said "what have you ever really done"? I couldn't help but wonder why I had been asked to fly to Dallas if this gentleman did not think I was qualified for the job not to mention how rude he was during the interview. I never heard from anyone at FiServ after the interview. The trip to Dallas and back took me a total of 19 hours and cost the company a good deal of money only to be told during the interview they didn't think I had done anything in my 14 year career in IT that including working for Andersen Consulting and managing an enterprise wide IT process across 14 states with 60,000 employees!

Interviewed Sep 2011 (took 3 weeks)
I filled out an application on Fiserv's website and received a call about a week later. It wasn't for the initial position I had applied for, but my info was sent to a department more suiting of my experience. I was leaving town for awhile in only 2 days, and they were able to schedule an interview for the next day.
I sat down with two managers in an office on the workplace floor. It was very quiet on the floor, much different than the call center environment I had been in before. They started by asking me to review my resume. We went over previous jobs and responsibilities of those. They asked a few questions like, "It doesn't happen very often, but how would you handle some who was upset on a call." I gave the obvious answers that you can't take things personal, and you need to let the person know you are in it with them to find a resolution. I did had a gap in my employment, so they asked about the reasonings (all things I was prepared for). They asked how knowledgable I was in databases, and what type of software I had used in the past. They then went over benefits, and functions of the job such as taking calls, processing cases, and travel. I did ask a few questions that they liked. I asked how they scale performance and how they reviewed such performance. I also asked how they monitor calls, and if there's a specific portion you are struggling with, how they assist in getting past the issue. The interview was wrapped up with some small talk.
The day I returned from my trip, one of the managers called me and asked to set up a second interview. I came in a few days later and met with 2 additional managers in the same environment. The process was almost identical of asking about my resume, the few questions about the job and explaining the benefits.
About a week later they called to let me know I was still a candidate, but they had a few things to work out with HR (ie, how many people they were hiring, starting dates, ect). They kept checking in every couple of days to make sure I was still interested and the fact that they were still interested.
They then called to offer me the job, I accepted and then HR sent everything for the background check.
