Interviewed Dec 2011 in Austin, TX (took 2+ months)
Wow, get ready for a giant waste of your time, energy, and PTO hours. 10+ weeks, 6 interviews with 6 people (interviewed twice by two people), and a constant battle to get in touch with HR.
Marketing personnel openly bash the Sales department for being ignorant, Sales personnel show complete lack of (1) knowledge and (2) expertise when it comes to managing a marketing position, and HR has no clue of how to manage the hiring process. Initially the HR person in charge of setting up interviews described elements of the wrong position, flaked on multiple phone interviews, and let this process take over 10 weeks and 6 interviews to come to a decision.
Also Green Mountain Energy is owned by NRG Energy, who owns Reliant Energy, and is one of the largest coal-fueled electricity providers in the country. This is a textbook case of Greenwashing and further shows the lack of integrity by Upper Management. I burned more than 12 total PTO hours making times for often redundant and amateurish interviewers who had no idea of what the job entailed.
Make sure you REALLY hate your current job before spending much time here.

Interviewed May 2009 in Austin, TX (took a day)
Phone interview followed by 2:1 interview with two managers. Laid back atmosphere, easy overall. Want to know if you are a generally capable human being and have decent computer skills. Must know basic Excel like sorting and filtering, ctrl+F, ctrl+D. Nothing difficult. Business casual M-Th with casual friday, so dress better than that.

Interviewed Jul 2010 in Houston, TX (took a day)
Very easy and laid back. Previous sales experience a big plus, with desire to help the environment. Interview determined over the phone. There is only one interview, and during the process you must prove that you can sell their product with laminates they give you. Another person in management may or may not walk in to hear you as well. Be prepared to act professional and have questions about the product and approaches. This will help you to succeed. Once given the opportunity to advance to training, accept the offer and arrive on time. The office atmosphere is very laid back, however, business casual attire is required. They are all hard workers; your attitude should reflect the same.

Negotiation Details
No negotiation. If you can sell commission only style, this job is for you. The sky is the limit.

Interviewed Jul 2010 in New York, NY (took a day)
This was by far the most poorly planned and executed interview I have been part of. It was branded as an informal interview during lunch. I had to initiate the discussion about the position and found myself in the awkward position of managing the interview as the interviewee. I found that there was a general lack of knowledge about the company by the interviewers. Overall, this company came across as very amateur and unprepared.
