Interviewed Oct 2011 (took a day)
Was contacted by a Harte-Hanks personnel recruiter for a marketing programs position for one of the Harte Hanks divisions. After a lengthy phone interview with the recruiter, I waited more than a week before I was contacted with details for a follow up phone interview with the hiring manager. Took a while to arrange the interview due to the hiring manager's schedule. When we finally spoke, the hiring manager seemed more interested in tapping me for ideas on marketing than interviewing me for their opening. Whenever I tried to ask a question about what they were looking for, the hiring manager deflected the question with more questions of his own about marketing ideas and how things are done at my current position. All in all, I felt a little used. When I was contacted for a follow up interview I declined; if he couldn't t tell me more about the position and what they were looking for in an interview, then I didn't have a good feeling about getting any idea of what they wanted when it came to actually doing the job.

Interviewed Aug 2011 in Yardley, PA (took 2 weeks)
I had interviewed with this company three times previously. I sent my materials to HR for Freelance, but she hadn't forwarded them to the hiring manager (Chief Creative). SNAFU. I didn't get a call/email back.
About a month previously, another hiring manager tasked me with a "simple" test. It was complex and it took hours to complete.

Interviewed Apr 2011 in Austin, TX (took 2 weeks)
General line of questioning on areas pertaining to the role. All interviews went well, then..............silence. Appears like they do not have the cultural capacity to let you know when they decide not to progress further.

Interviewed Nov 2008 (took 2 weeks)
I had worked for this company before so my process might have been a bit different than that of one that is walking into an interview with my company for the first time. I had one over the phone interview as I lived a few states away from where I was interviewing from. After my phone interview I traveled for a second interview with my the Director of Client Services and my Manger.

I was able to negotiate my vacation time, salary and a relocation package. My advice would be to be realistic about your needs and express them because there is always room for negotiation.
Other Details

Interviewed Oct 2010 in Yardley, PA (took a day)
I was in a conference room and one by one, I sat down with various people (whom I assumed were part of the decision making process) and talked about my resume and portfolio. I didn't feel interrogated, but it was a bit daunting since I've never had anything beyond a 1:1 interview at this point. The whole session took two hours, and thankfully I had gotten adequate rest and ate a good-sized breakfast beforehand. The people I spoke with were friendly and they didn't seem out to get me or trip me up.

The interview was only 30 minutes. I was asked about my current position. The rest of the interview I consisted of listening to the interviewer talk about the company. Then I was walked around the work area, then to the door.
