There were 2 rounds, each lasting an hour. Technical interview was very detailed and made sure I knew the code. It also covered the technical analytical skills.

Interviewed Apr 2011 in Saint Louis, MO (took 4+ weeks)
The interview process was pretty straight-forward. It started with a phone interview to test basic programming knowledge, and then went to a panel-led programming interview and a behavioral interview. They were very passionate about sharing what the company does in addition to learning about my own interests. The overall interview process was relatively painless and I was able to get a good idea of how welcoming the company culture was.
Negotiation Details
I was able to negotiate based on my monetary needs and experience, as well as the costs of moving to the area.

Interviewed Jul 2011 in Saint Louis, MO (took 3 weeks)
Was called by HR about nine days after applying. Passed phone interview. Was contacted two days later to schedule an in-person interview. Meet with five people total. Two federal tax managers for 30 minutes, then two state and local tax managers for 30 minutes, then the domestic tax supervisor for 30 minutes.
Some questions were related to experience, others were just idle chitchat. Two of the managers just read a list of questions handed to them by HR (Describe a time when you...).
In the end, one of the managers I met with decided to let me know that she didn't think I'd be happy there (no reason given as to why),and that I ought to go work in Public Accounting, because that's how she started out. I can't say it made any sense, but I thanked her for her input.
I was never told I wasn't hired until I called them three weeks after the interview. An email inquiring about the status of the position a week before I made the call was not answered until a month AFTER the call. Rather unprofessional, I thought, for such a large company.

Interviewed Oct 2011 in Saint Louis, MO (took a day)
At my school they had a 2:1 interview, most likely for training purposes. They started out the interview talking about specifics on your resume and your life goals and then proceeded to the behavioral based portion of the interview. My interview experience was definitely positive. I asked how I did and they provided feedback. They look for bright students and foreign language skills is a plus.

Interviewed Feb 2009 in Saint Louis, MO (took a day)
I had a phone screen interview that took about thirty minutes. The personal interview was panel style consisting of two groups of people. First was peer colleagues and then the management team. The peer colleagues were not very friendly or open and did not seem like people I would want to work with,

Interviewed Feb 2011 in Saint Louis, MO (took 3 weeks)
The whole interview process was efficient and friendly. I had an initial panel phone interview, followed by a phone interview by HR and then an on-site interview. Questions were mostly behavioral in nature.
Be honest and practice interviewing with other people, such as friends, from before. For this position, it seems that Monsanto wants some one who is not only good at science but can also communicate well.
