Interviewed Feb 2011 (took a day)
I only had a personal interview with the HR not for a specific opening. It was only a few minutes asking me on the responsiblities I had in the previous company i worked.
I did not prepare myself for the interview as emotionally i was not very well at that period. I strongly suggest you get prepared before the interview even write down a few things if possible.

Interviewed Jul 2009 in Bangkok (Thailand) (took 4+ weeks)
Very informal. You will be asked to meeting with at least 2 people (3 maximum) on different occasion.
You will likely first meet with the MD who will tell you about the company in general, and gauage your "fit" with the company. Even though the talk seems to be very informat, he has very keen eye, and likely to see whehter you will fit with the organization.
If you pass, you will meet with your "next boss" who likely to be Research Director, and he/ she will interview you whehter you suit the position in his/ her team. You might meet with your "future colleague". and that should be all the process

Negotiation Details
They tend to give you the fair price. So not much room too negotiate after that. Maybe you get a bit more, but that's it.
Other Details
I applied In-Person and the interview consisted of a 1:1 Interview.

Interviewed Jan 2009 in Montreal, QC (Canada) (took a day)
If you go in person, they will give you a form to fill out with your information. Then the actual interview is in person. They test your speaking skills and in Montreal, they test your ability to speak English and French.

Interviewed Jul 2011 (took 2 months)
I had a phone interview with HR. Said I would be contacted for in person interview by end of week, however I never heard back. I followed up with the HR person twice by email and phone with no response back. Very unprofessional to keep interviewers hanging.

Interviewed Sep 2008 in New York, NY (took 6 weeks)
The hiring process is rather lengthy, however, necessary. Ipsos does a very good job of ensuring the employee is actually qualified to do the job. They also are quite good at explaining exactly what the position entails.
I had over 6 interviews with Ipsos employees. The disadvantage to this is it makes the interview process very lengthy. The advantage is you get to speak to the majority of the people you would be working with on a day to day basis.

Negotiation Details
I was able to negotiate.

I got the interview through an Employee Referral and the interview consisted of a Phone Interview and a 1:1 Interview.

Interviewed Jun 2007 (took 2+ weeks)
Heard of the company through a friend. Took her out to lunch to learn more about the company. Met boss + rest of the team informally at first, then formal interview process started. Completed a phone interview with HR manager (first screening process) then came to local office and had a 1 on 1 interview with boss, then additional interviews with 6 members of the team. Last, 2 members of the team took me out to lunch informally to judge whether I would fit with their corporate culture.
