Interviewed Mar 2009 (took 1+ week)
Hiring process not very automated and very tedious. Not very professional hiring manager. HR is not very tuned into corporate headquarters and everything seems to be run by people who are not familiar with the job position you get to the actual interview. Its seems that the president is making all the decisions, while the people interviewing have very little feedback

Interviewed Apr 2011 in Santa Monica, CA (took 1 week)
I applied to their posting and was called in for an interview. I nearly fell out of my seat when I heard how low their salaries are. My advice? Don't waste your time here without having a salary conversation before going in. When I asked HR when scheduling the interview, they were very cagey about numbers.

Interviewed Dec 2008 in New York, NY (took 2 weeks)
I found the job posting online on an aggregating site. I don't remember when I applied. An HR employee called me to set up the interview.
The interview was informal and did not involve any standardized questions. I met with the woman who eventually became my direct superior and it seemed to be her sole decision. She barely asked me any questions and instead spoke about the position. I had a few questions of my own, and asked about the compensation. The whole interview took 15-20 minutes.
Negotiation Details
I did not negotiate.

Interviewed Jul 2009 in New York, NY (took 4 months)
I came in 3 or 4 times, and each time stayed between 2 and 4 hours. I feel like I have met everyone in the firm at this point. After the second interview, things went fast - I came back in quickly and was close to an offer. People were really friendly and there was a great chemistry.
After the last interviewed, I sent a thank you note, and followed up a month after, then 6 weeks after, then 3 months later, and I got nothing. In my last email, I threatened to call (ooohh) so the hiring manager came back within a few minutes and said the position had been filled and thanked me for my time.
I emailed back and said thank you and asked for a few minutes over the phone to get some feedback though I regretted it hadn't worked out.
So unprofessional, and a waste of my time.
