2 interviews, one with an HR rep and one with the head of the department. They then asked for a writing sample and a skills test. After jumping through all the hoops, they went with someone else.

Interviewed Jul 2011 in Glen Carbon, IL (took 5 days)
I applied for the job on a Sunday, received a call three days later for an interview, interviewed a week later and was offered the position four days later.
The interview was a basic answer and question and proposed scenarios on how I would handle a situation. I brought my portfolio to display work I've done. It was not a warm and fuzzy feeling during the interview, very business and straight to the point.

Interviewed Mar 2011 in Rockford, IL (took 4+ weeks)
Was emailed and had a phone interview then was called in for a interview. I feel it went well. My only problem was I was told I would be contacted within a week and it took 3 weeks for me to finally get a "no thanks" email. I'm fine with not getting the position but am disappointed that the GS didn't keep their word! The interview was with two women who were dressed in 1970's power suits... I felt like I had stepped back in time!!! They were nice but I can agree with others on here that the GS is certainly stuck in the past.

Interviewed Feb 2009 in Grand Island, NE (took 2 days)
Invited to interview at the local office by the direct supervisor. Invited to a second interview at the corporate headquarters by the CEO. First interviewer had structured questions. Second interviewer offered more general questions that were not structured. The two interviews represented a disconnect between expectations for the position. The interviews were held in an office environments. Both interviews were not on time and the applicant was left sitting in an awkward area for waiting and in a heavy traffic area.
