Interviewed Oct 2010 in Chicago, IL (took 2+ weeks)
The interview was laid back and the interviewer did not act as professionally as with other firms. This was more of an interview to see if you were a good fit for the company and would be able to work with the people that you were assigned to work with on various clients.

Interviewed Jan 2011 in Phoenix, AZ (took 3 days)
As with most Accounting jobs there is a lot of network that needs to be done from the beginning. Attending the twice yearly Meet the Firms event at my college was the fist step. I met professionals from GT and kept in contact with them. After an interview for an three day Externship, I was notified that I had been offered a position in their externship program. The interview for this was very relaxed. I felt like right when I sat down with my interviewer we struck up a conversation and the next thing I knew it was over. After the externship is interviews for an internship. This is a full day process, with an office tour and three-four interviews. Once again all my interviews were very relaxed. The one thing that sold me to GT was how much I felt like they were actually trying to get to know me, and see if I would fit in with their company culture. I never understood this whole word about "Corporate culture" until I felt myself so comforted in their office.
Negotiation Details
There was no negotiation phase. I was straight out of college and not to experienced in that department, but I also felt that the packade they offered me was more than I had expected.
Other Details

Interviewed Oct 2010 (took 2 days)
There is usually a pre-interview social the night before. This is a great opportunity to meet fellow candidates and current employees of the company.
The next day, the interview consisted of a 30 minute interview with one of the senior partners of the firm followed by a second 30 minute interview with one of the managers in whatever division you are interested in (i.e. Audit Manager, BAS Manager).
There is a chance you'll be offered the position the same day, but usually they will call you back in for an group office visit the following week.

Interviewed Jul 2009 in Nassau (Bahamas) (took a day)
The interview consisted of e-mails from the junior partner and an actual face to face interview with the junior partner and senior manager of the firm. It appears the firm gives off a bigger image than it actually has and once you get in you start to see alot of what was promised during the interview is no longer the case.
Interview Questions
Reason for Declining
Salary offered was 23,000 annually which after 4 years of college was an insult
Other Details
I applied In-Person and the interview consisted of a Phone Interview.

Interviewed Nov 2010 (took 6 weeks)
It was a long process of meeting people at career fairs and info sessions. The first interview was one on-campus interview for 30 min. It took 2 weeks to get invited for an in office interview and another week to schedule it. The in office interview consisted of 3 interviews (manager, senior manager, hr). At that point it's not really behavioral questions. They're mostly just interested in learning about you and hoping that you have good questions for them.

Interviewed Oct 2010 in McLean, VA (took 3 weeks)
I got the my first interview on campus. After a week I was invited for an office vist and interview 3-5. We had dinner the night before at a local restaurant where i got to meet most the department staff, managers, and partners. They all ptomote the GT work life balance. Over all it was a great experience, they are looking for a candidate eager to learn, with the credentials that shows the ability to do so.

Interviewed Oct 2010 in Alexandria, VA (took 2 weeks)
Applied through university and received a chance to meet with two partners and the recruiter at their federal practice. There were three other candidates there, but I was the only one with an IT related background. Recruiter talked about positions, career progression, company, etc. First partner asked what my background/strengths were. Second partner asked about what I was interested in to see if I would stay long term - I mentioned IT security, which is a stable and growing field, especially at GT.
