Interviewed Feb 2011 (took 2 months)
Applied online and had a request for a phone interview within a few days from the HR rep. HR rep forgot about the phone interview we had scheduled (red flag right there!). I ended up calling her and leaving a VM. She called back within a few minutes and apologized, saying she forgot. Um, okay? Answered some very basic questions. She set up the next interview right away while we were on the call.
Met with the team. Interview went very well...they asked intelligent questions that related to the job and my skills/experience. Not a whole lot of cliches, but there was a greatest strength/weakness thrown in for good measure. The team said they would make a decision "early next week."
Early next week came and went with nary of a phone call or email regarding the status. I followed up with the HR rep & she said they were still interviewing more people but I was still in the running.
Early the next week, I got a request for a writing sample, wanting me to write a short report from a few data tables. I found it to be very difficult as I was given no background on the study, just 3 data tables. I made a lot of things up. Why couldn't they have given me a mock proposal with a little background on what this study is for?
Then, more crickets. We're coming up on 5 weeks now. What, are they selecting the next pope?
Received another email from HR a week later, saying that they're interviewing MORE people and should have a decision by (you guessed it) "early next week."
Early next week came and went and more crickets.
Guess I didn't get it. Meh. I got a better job offer anyway.

Interviewed Sep 2010 in New York, NY (took a day)
I was given a phone interview by a HR representative and then required to do a writing sample. I had to analyze answers from a survey and create a memo and a short powerpoint based on that information within a 36 hr time frame. I then had to follow up interviews with 3 managers at Harris who asked general questions and questions about the writing sample.

Interviewed Sep 2010 (took 3 weeks)
HR lady called to set up phone interview. On the day we spoke, she said she just got a memo from the home office that they're closing the Claremont location and the position would now be home based. I said I was still interested and she would call me back when she found out what was going on at the home office. She emailed me a few days later to report the position was commission only, would not be available until 2011, and apologized for the misunderstanding.
