Interviewed Jan 2012 in Cleveland, OH (took 2 days)
Simple interview. Treatment was very good.
First applied via LinkedIn. Then had an IQ test. Then did a Phone Interview. After this was called on for an onsite. Had 5 one on one interviews. Very simple questions. Just centred on my Resume.
Worst part was that they took 2 months to get back after the interview.

Interviewed Mar 2012 in Cleveland, OH (took 4+ weeks)
The interview process was very well organized, and consisted of two initial phone screenings followed by a 2-day on site interview at their headquarters in Cleveland, OH. The people were extremely nice and forthcoming about the job, the city, and corporate culture. They run the company a bit differently, from their Guaranteed Employment policy to their incentive-based salary. There was a book written about the company in 2010 called Spark, which I recommend to anyone interested in working for the company.

Interviewed Aug 2011 (took 2+ weeks)
Responded to an ad on Careerbuilder. 2 months after applying, I got a call from corporate HR. Did and impromptu interview over the phone then a follow up interview with another person from corporate HR. Then I had a 1:1 interview with a manager in his office. Standard questions were asked. Got officially offered the job over the phone by corporate HR. Accepted and then was sent through a drug screening. Very long process, but well worth it.

Interviewed Jan 2012 (took 2 days)
I scheduled my first interview from a career fair. The first interview consisted of an hour informational and a 30 minute interview. The interview was very conversational. After being recommended for a second round, an online logic test was required. The final round consisted of a trip to Lincoln's headquarters. The first day was filled with information about the company, tours of the facilities, and a tour of Cleveland. The second day was filled with multiple 1 on 1 interviews. The interviews were conversational as went smoothly as well. The company seemed very loyal to it's employees and the employees seemed to really enjoy coming to work every day.

Interviewed Jan 2012 in Cleveland, OH (took 2 days)
The Cleveland interview experience was a valuable experience. The company was very hospitable and made sure that we were comfortable. Lincoln displayed a real picture of what the company was all about and didn't seem to hide anything. The people seemed to enjoy what they did, but some were a little snooty. The benefits were less than outstanding, but still, this wouldn't be a bad company to work for.
Interview Questions
Reason for Declining
Benefits were mediocre, at best. Salary offered wasn't competitive with other companies I interviewed with. Told them I would be willing to negotiate, but had no response.
Other Details
I got the interview through a College or University and the interview consisted of a 1:1 Interview and an IQ/Intelligence Test.
