Interviewed Feb 2011 in New York, NY (took a day)
I had 5 scheduled interviews in a morning/afternoon session and one the interviews was to a panel. Everyone was very nice and it was more of a get to know you session, not many behavioral questions, and not many technical questions. I did need to speak to my resume and really understand the role to which I was applying. Understand the business model-it is an insurance company.

Interviewed Jan 2011 (took 2 days)
I received a call from a Metlife recruiter on a Wednesday. He started the process with a brief phone interview which lasted less than 30 minutes. He said he'd recommend me to the hiring manager for an interview and to expect a call by the next Monday. I was called Monday morning and scheduled for an interview Wednesday morning. I was told there would be a one-on-one interview followed by a group interview and to expect to be there for about an hour and a half. The one-on-one interview wasn't really an interview but more of the director explaining what the position, the company, and the work environment was all about. The group interview consisted of two separate sessions of two managers asking behavioral questions. Overall, the interview was one of the best I've ever had. All the managers were nice, the director was very welcoming, and the work environment seemed relaxed.

Negotiation Details
I didn't negotiate at all really, as the position I interviewed for was an entry level position and in this economy, a college grad is just thrilled to find a job that pays a living wage.
Other Details
I got the interview through a College or University and the interview consisted of a Phone Interview, a Group/Panel Interview, a Drug Test and a Background Check.

Interviewed Jan 2011 in Miami, FL (took a day)
Very Simple they really seemed to need people. I did not like to heavy commission reliance the job description included. Also, you have to pay for your own licenses which wold cost upward of $400. The interviewer tried selling me on the job very hard but he was very unrealistic with his commission and professional development projections and explanations.
Interview Questions
Reason for Declining
High reliance on commission and I do not want to work in a cubical.
Other Details
The interview consisted of a 1:1 Interview.

Interviewed Jan 2011 in Rochester, NY (took a day)
A recruiter contacted me by phone and asked a few basic questions (tell me a little bit about yourself, etc.), had me take a "Virtual Job Tryout" (VJT) test which took about 90 minutes and then scheduled an exploratory interview the next morning.
At that appointment I sat down with the recruiter who originally contacted me and he told me a little bit about MetLife, glanced over my VJT test results and then had me meet with their regional recruiting officer. She went into much more detail about what Metlife aimed to do for their customers as well as my VJT results. She stressed how many products and services the company offers but didn't go into much detail about any one product or service. She didn't really ask me any "technical" questions but I got the impression she was judging my reception and understanding of her presentation to me. She then had me meet with one of the offices Sales Directors and we set up an appointment for the following week.
This appointment wasn't very technical but I was asked a lot of basic questions (biggest strengths, weaknesses, time where you influenced others, etc.). This appointment ended with us setting up a third meeting where compensation/benefits/work schedule will be addressed (I'm writing this before this last interview).
During this whole process I was given a lot of chances to ask questions and I did ask some basic questions about the company culture, how to go about prospecting clients, etc. but i found the whole process to be pretty black and white and grasped what they were communicating to me easily enough.

Interviewed Mar 2009 in Colorado Springs, CO (took 2 months)
It was all behavioral questions. About 10-15. The interviewer first changed the time of my interview 3 times, and he also didn't give very much time to answer any questions.
