Interviewed May 2011 (took a day)
Phone interview discussing the position and resume/backgroun experience
On-site interview with two members of HR team-- very informal, open discussion, qualifications and position discussed-- both were very friendly, and it was a very comfortable atmosphere.
When they called to decline the offer they did mention it came down to me and the other candidate, so they gave some positive feedback as well.

Interviewed Jul 2011 (took 3 months)
Two phone interviews and three face-to-face interviews. Appreciated thoroughness but it was a VERY long process. Reimbursed expenses for flying into company locations for interviews. Hiring mgr was willing to do Skype interview since we couldn't make 1:1 happen. Did actually receive notice that I was not selected for position, which I appreciated. Hiring mgr kept in good communication throughout process, which was helpful since it was so protracted. Very slick corporate culture in this company.

I spoke with a fellow consultant that worked closely with the hiring manager. I had to conduct a presentation for a 2 person group and then I was invited to present for a 5 person group and was peppered with a variety of questions about the product line. Very critical group.

Interviewed Nov 2008 in Columbus, OH (took 6 weeks)
I applied on the company website for the job posting. Three weeks later I was contacted by a corporate recruiter to set up an in person interview with the hiring manager and I also had a short phone interview with the recruiter, about 10 minutes. The in person interview with the hiring manager lasted approximately an hour. We discussed mostly my resume, my background and the specifics of the job and what might be required since it was a new position. One week later, I was contacted again to come back and meet with the hiring manager's manager, the SVP of the department, for a second interview. The meeting lasted about a half hour. A week later, I was offered the position.
The human resources then conducted a background investigation and sent me an email with the offer and intranet password/id and cc my manager with the agreed up on start date.
The process was very easy but it seemed to be slow as I guess it took some time to get in the system to get processed. The culture of the department was very open but structured. Everything goes through the online system for applications but if you know someone you can get through faster but you still have to apply online.

Negotiation Details
There was no room for negotiation, not at this level of job. Perhaps for higher level positions, you might have more leverage.

Interviewed May 2010 (took 1 week)
Had to complete phone interview followed by a rigorous homework assignment in preparation for face to face interview. I had to go to a college campus and interview six professors to ask them what factors play into their decision to buy a particular text book. Then I had to write a paper about the experience in order to complete the interview process.

Interviewed Oct 2008 in Dubuque, IA (took 4 days)
I had 2 interviews. The 1st was with the dept manager and the 2nd was with her manager. They were very similar interviews. Asked questions about how I work and for examples. This allowed me to talk a lot about myself/how I could fit in and also about past experiences. Both were very friendly and it was a relaxed interview.
