It depends on who is interviewing you. Highly Statistical based questions for the position. Advisable to know the basics of ANOVA and Hypothesis testing

Interviewed Dec 2011 (took 4+ weeks)
I applied for a Senior IT position and performed a series of phone screens which I passed. Next I was brought in for a panel interview. It was a group of people and I was asked a few technical questions, and given a scenario, and quizzed about how I would react. Next I gave a presentation on relevant work to the job I was applying for. Everyone seemed pleased with me and the manager followed up with me than evening for a recap. We spoke of salary and and we agreed with a good rate. Next I was informed of a hiring freeze and they had to go through the motions of getting my application approved. This was doing the holiday period so I waited a few weeks since people would be out of the office. After the holiday's I started inquiring about the hiring freeze and no calls or emails were ever returned. After a few weeks of this I gave up and started to move forward with other companies. All in all they were really nice, and it looked like a great place to be. I'm not sure what went wrong with my process, but I would give them a try if they have something that you are a fit for.

Interviewed Mar 2010 (took 3 weeks)
Made it through all phone screens and local on-site interviews. Company paid for trip to corporate headquarter for executive interviews which lasted all day. At end of day, was asked to give an executive presentation to all the senior managers. The topic was my choice, with no insight or direction from the Merkle team. Was told everyone goes through the same process, pick a topic you are very familiar with. The people were friendly and asked good questions-be prepared to tell them how you can provide immediate results there is no grace period.

Interviewed Mar 2012 in Columbia, MD (took 1+ week)
Very fast interview process. I heard from them a few days after sending my resume, interviewed the following day by phone, and had on-site interviews a few days later, and by the end of that week, they called with an offer.
