Interviewed Apr 2010 in Boston, MA (took 2 weeks)
I applied to a position directly from the MGH hospital website. Within a week I got an email from the scientist that would be my potential boss, just clarifying a few things on my resume. We emailed back and forth a couple time and then she set up a phone interview with me. The phone interview lasted about 20 minutes and she asked questions involving my background and education, but spent the majority of the interview on what goals I had for the future. I was less prepared to answer these questions-which were a lot about research goals, continuing my education, and specific areas of interest. My take on it was that they wanted to give someone the opportunity that had a very specific goal for future research.

Interviewed Apr 2010 in Boston, MA (took 3 weeks)
The interview process went very well. The group was professional and the overall culture of the group seemed positive. The HR review process took several weeks. The HR representative did not have my full information or application, even though I was an internal Partners Applicant. This made for a bumbling phone call when I received the offer, with particular emphasis on salary.

Interviewed Jul 2007 in Boston, MA (took 2+ weeks)
The interview was thorough and welcoming. I was treated with care and understanding and my duties were clearly explained to me. The actual hiring process took longer than I would have liked, but the decision on whether they wanted to hire me was quick. After that decision there was a long wait as the HR department let me drip through the many filters of bureaucracy. Once that was finished the work environment proved to be very nice.

Make sure you review what the salaries are for the job before you go in. Sometimes the starting salary is not competitive and raises are harder to come by than initial salary gains.
