Interviewed Jan 2009 in Sacramento, CA (took a day)
The interviewing process was either one on one, or group panel format. All the questions were very basic; either regarding past experiences, skill set currently possessed, or general textbook HR interview questions that could be asked regardless of industry. Interview portrayed a great place to work with competitive salaries and work-life balance to lure the job seeker in. And then you sign on the dotted line and reality eclipses those portrayals.

Negotiation Details
I was able to negotiate my start date. If you are considering working here ask what the pay and workload looks like upfront rather than signing on the dotted line and finding out the hard way.
Other Details
I Applied Online and the interview consisted of a 1:1 Interview and a Group/Panel Interview.

Interviewed Oct 2008 in Bar Harbor, ME (took 2 weeks)
Had an initial technical interview over the phone. Weeks later, was invited to visit the facility for a day of interviews. Due to the distance and flight schedules, the Jax Lab (as some call it) paid travel expenses. Maine was cold at the time. I was very impressed by the facility, the technical skills and friendliness of the people, as well as the work-life atmosphere at the lab. Participated in 6 or 7 interviews in one busy day... mostly groups of 2 - 4 people each. It seemed to go well, but I was sad to learn that I wasn't the best-fit candidate for this opportunity.
As I spoke with several people locally (Bar Harbor and Ellsworth, Maine) no one had anything but praise for Jackson Laboratory. They are definitely an 'employer of choice'.
