Interviewed Aug 2010 in Charlotte, NC (took 2 weeks)
The HR Director, Hiring Director, Senior Director, and a Project Manager interviewed me in a conversation style interview that lasted two hours. Each person embellished on the previous person's conversation and we went through about five rounds. It was not difficult but was quite specific.

Interviewed Jan 2012 in Pune (India) (took 12 months)
I dont think they know what they are doing. They contacted me in March 2011 and did a round of interview with the HR leader. Then I gave a psychometric test and an IQ test. Then they stopped all contact until July or August. Then they made me interview with a very senior person from Phillipines. Then after many calls they told me they selected someone else. In Feb they called me and said we have a different position for you and the interview is a formality. I did a video conference and after half a dozen calls they told me I did not make it. What irks is that if someone does not make it and you are hiring a GM, not an entry level, you let them know how long the decision will take or that they have decided against it. I think they have a similar work culture where decisions take for ever and I am glad I did not join.

Interviewed Oct 2010 in Madison, NJ (took 2 weeks)
Maersk believes in a 2 prong personality and intelligence testing program (LI and PI). Based on your PI profile (where they generally favor high a/ low c in managers) they interview lists of candidates in 1-1 meetings with experienced HR interviewers. Following the HR interview, you may be flown into the head office where you will face either a 1-1 interview with the hiring manager followed by a 1-1 interview with their manager who can 'grandfather' the hiring decision, or face a panel interview. Generally personality and attitude will trump experience because the Maersk culture is one of its own and does not generally highly value the attitudes that experienced individuals from other companies will bring if they won't fit into the culture. Following a hiring decision you will need to go through a background test and drug test that adds another 2 weeks to the process.

Negotiation Details
Maersk pay offers will tend to be about 10-20% below market - but the benefits are better than average in almost any US industry. Take the job if you value an international company/ mindset and are willing to trade cash for healthcare benefits, paid time off, etc.

Interviewed Jul 2010 (took 3 months)
I was called by an executive search firm. I had 3 interviews which is 1 month apart. 1 w/ HR Specialist, 1 w/ General Manager, and 1 w/ Managing Director / President. The office looks great, but I was unsuccessful in the interview since they picked someone else who was more fit.

Interviewed May 2008 (took a day)
The interview consisted of two parts: the first part was about a personality and aptitude test.
In the process, you are required to answer around 60 multiple choice questions within one hour.
The HR would see if the applicant suit for the position and go into next part.
The second part was met with the HR manager and she will ask some basic questions including your strength and weakness.

Interviewed Jan 2008 (took 2 days)
Friendly. Quick turn-around. I was approached for the job through a friend at the company who received a bonus for succesful referral. Met with the head of the department, head of the business and was also given a chance to interact with employees of the current team (over lunch). It was a positive experience overall, possibly due to my good fit to the role and industry experience.
