Interviewed Jan 2012 in Orlando, FL (took 2 weeks)
I found the job through careerbuilder.com. Sent resume/cover letter and followed up. Huge delay due to the holidays. After christmas/new years, I was selected by recruiter for an 1-to-1 phone interview for 30 min. Asked 2 behavorial questions and she liked the response she stoped and set up the actual face to face. I met with one manager and another over the phone via conference call. They drilled down on my experiences and try to be as thorough and walk them through the process on how you came to a problem, what steps you took to analyze and then overcome.

Interviewed Sep 2011 in Atlanta, GA (took 3 weeks)
Easy phone screening reviewing your background and 2 or 3 behavioral questions. Then on-site 1 hour interview with 2 managers which was all behavioral. Not too bad as long as you have stories to tell based on your past experience.

Interviewed Jan 2009 (took 1 week)
The interview was a good opportunity to know know more about the niche Benefits vertical that Hewitt works within. The proprietary application that they use is certainly a tool for competitiors to reckon with. The benefits are very competetive. The company has a good stable history and a empoyees seem to be happy and want to stay.

Interviewed Feb 2010 in Lincolnshire, IL (took a day)
The interview process was pretty simple. Finding the building was harder than the interview itself. Hewitt has two campuses in Lincolnshire and I wasn't aware of this. I had to stop at a local hotel and ask them where the building was that I was to report to. They were able to help me.
As for the interview, it was a series of 4 interviews with four of the managers of the group I would report to. The questions were basic and they were really focused on my past experiences on my resume. Nothing really hard during the interview process.

They did not negotiate at all. I would still try to get something out of them but they said that their starting was non-negotiable, which is terrible since their pay is so low to begin with.
Other Details
The interview consisted of a 1:1 Interview, a Drug Test and a Background Check.
