Interviewed Mar 2010 in Jersey City, NJ (took a day)
The inteview process at ISO is pretty standard and uneventful. An HR person may pre-sceen you by asking questions over the phone, once they deem you a fit, you are called in for an interview where most of the time you are meeting with just the hiring manager and not anyone else from the team/group. One interview is all that it can take to be hired. You can literally meet with the hiring manager one week, and then next week be offered the job. Most of the VP's at ISO are very impressed with "outside" talent, even more so if you have experience working for a direct competitor or a big insurance company (so use that to your advantage when negotiating).

Interviewed Apr 2009 in San Francisco, CA (took a day)
A recruiter connected me to ISO in San Francisco. Had a couple of phone interviews and then they asked me to come for onsite interviews. There were the general questions about Statistics, building models and managing teams; there was a presentation as well. I liked most people I talked to -- it seemed a good mix of younger and older workers and the offices appeared sunny and collaborative. I answered all their questions and felt the interview went well in general. The hiring manager in fact told me he hoped I'd join them!
However, they came back and said they did not want to move forward because they had earlier thought I was more "senior". I was puzzled -- did they think I had padded my resume or lied about my work experience? Of course I had not. This only leaves the possibility that they expected me to be a bit older. That was the only reason given. I was in my early 30s at that time, had been a manager for 2 years already, and perhaps looked a couple years younger than my true age.
This might be a one-off or perhaps the job description had changed in the meantime, but gave an impression of disorganization and lack of professionalism -- though with the economy the way it was in 2009, they could do it.

Interviewed Jan 2009 (took 2 days)
Manager hiring flew in to conduct interviews at a local establishment. Completed the interview process which was very casual asking about insurance experience. Very short being about 15 minutes. Then was given a Skills type test including mathematical exam and construction types. Probably most emphasis on hiring put on education. Have an extremely high GPA (3.5-4.0 range) graduating with honors from college to be most competitive.

Interviewed Aug 2010 in Jersey City, NJ (took a day)
The Interviewer was very nice as was the rest of the staff. They offered water/coffee at first and then left me to read about the company with a pamphlet they provided. The first interview consists of a written exam/essay as well as some personal questions and questions on skill.

Interviewed Nov 2010 in Jersey City, NJ (took a day)
The first phase of the hiring process was a phone interview. I was interviewed by two managers, which lasted for about an hour. One of the managers told me that the HR person will contact me and schedule a face-to-face interview.
The face-to-face interview consisted of a skills test, IQ test, and 2 interview sessions. This lasted for about a hours. After a few days I was given the offer and I accepted it.

Interviewed Jul 2008 in Jersey City, NJ (took a day)
I applied online and received a call back within one week. All of the questions from HR were about my resume. The questions from the Managers that I interviewed with were about my technical skills and what I want to accomplish in my career. There are many groups have high turnover, therefore the most important trait for a candidate is longevity. You should probably mention your willingness to stay places long periods of time or even get a degree (since they may take you at least 2 years).

Negotiation Details
Unless you're trying to negotiate a few extra bucks because you have to travel to Jersey City from New York City, there is no such thing. You have a better chance negotiating for more PTO days.

Interviewed Jan 2008 in Jersey City, NJ (took 2 months)
The hiriring process was pretty straightforward. Two weeks later, there was a phone interview, followed by a group interview by different heads of different departments. The group interview was followed by an aptitude test, testing both english and mathematical skills. After the test, there was a lunch-style interview with two more employees. There was a good amount of time (3-4 weeks) between the group interview and the initial offer, but everything was at least handled professionally.
