Interviewed Apr 2011 in Saint Louis, MO (took 4 weeks)
Run far, far away if asked to interview with Information Builders!!
It is an 'Old Boy's Club' with deep, deep traditions that cannot be changed!
They make you jump through hoops before even making sure that the position you are interviewing for is approved!!
Interview Questions
The hardest thing was having to set aside the huge amount of time required for the interview(s) when/if you are still employed.
Other Details
I got the interview through a Recruiter and the interview consisted of a Phone Interview, a 1:1 Interview, a Presentation, an IQ/Intelligence Test, a Skills Test, a Personality Test and a Background Check.

HR contacts you by phone to make sure of your salary expectations. Then you have to come back 2 or 3 times for interviews with escalating levels of execs. The people there seem great and spend a lot of time with you. There are no trick questions. It's all about the experience you have and whether you're a good fit for the type of work involved. I received strong signs that I was 1 of 2 or 3 candidates, which really got my hopes up. However, my one gripe is the lack of professionalism by the HR, who never even communicated a rejection back to me, after I had spent 2 rounds and at least 4 hours of my time interviewing with execs. I understand no call backs if your resume isn't great or if you don't get past the first round. However, HR had communicated that they would be in touch soon, "either way." Their HR (some of whom basically made clear that they were mediocre sales people who transferred to HR) are clearly out of touch on how to treat people, which makes you regret having applied.

The written test is simple. YOu need to know about OS, DB, DW, What is CRM, ERP, J2EE, XML, DHTML, etc.
Very nice people, they will ask for the last 3 year W2s, so be truthful about the past salary.

Interviewed Jun 2010 in Saint Paul, MN (took 3 weeks)
Worst interviewing experience I ever had. Start you off with a written exam and then make you sit through a panel interview. Worse yet, everyone is late to the interview.
The managers are all technical people who happen to have sold in the past.
Don't expect pleasentries they are not into it. It is a typical stress interview, they actually never become friendly nor polite.

Interviewed Dec 2008 in New York, NY (took 3 weeks)
Very organized, the people were on point, professional, and thorough. Didn't take the offer based on circumstances. Nothing but positiives to say about the organization. Bread and butter sales interview: pas experiences, past successes, daily discipline, team building, etc. Most interesting was the emphasis on driving new business and ruthless support of the customer base and their needs.
