Interviewed Feb 2011 in Chicago, IL (took a day)
I spoke to the recruiters that came to my university for our career fair. Got an interview for the next day from that interaction.
The interview lasted for about a half-hour and was a mixture of behavioral and technical questions. Behavioral questions included how I would get people to do things without having authority over them. Technical questions included testing a linked list with an error in it and explaining what a natural join was databases.
A week or so after the interview I got contacted by someone from HR asking me some questions about my willingness to move and salary expectations. I didn't hear back from them for a few weeks after that and when I followed up they informed me that they had moved forward with another candidate.

Interviewed Nov 2011 in Chicago, IL (took 6 weeks)
Four (4) interviews total. One (1) phone interview, and three (3) face to face interviews. To accomplish these interviews in a six-week timeframe is aggressive, but positive if you're considered a candidate. Interviews were a combination of behavioral interviews as well as a case-based interview. Future advice to candidates would be to brush up on your case-based interview process questions. Regarding the people, office, and work culture, I would classify it as a technology start up culture, with a beginnings of the corporate parent exhibiting their values onto the organization.

Interviewed Sep 2010 in Chicago, IL (took 2+ weeks)
I got an email from the Director of the department to set up a phone interview. Had the phone interview. Afterwards I had the interview on site with the same Director that I had the phone interview, another Director, a Manager a Scientist and HR. The interviews with the Directors and the Manager were more broad and general. The Scientist asked more technical questions like:" I have this issue, how would you approach it." Interview with HR was pretty standard.
Interviews were relaxed.

Interviewed Jun 2009 in Chicago, IL (took 1 week)
Initial phone interview was short (15 min) and that resulted in a face-to-face. Met with 1 IT Director, 2 PM Directors, 1 VP Strategy each for about 45min where I was brought around to each of their offices. There were 1 or 2 other candidates also on this rotation which was awkward - I actually met one of them face to face outside one of the offices.

Interviewed May 2010 in Chicago, IL (took 6 months)
Very drawn out and chaotic - positions appear, change, disappear. Strong nepotism - more then a third of hires are someone's (usually VP's) buddies.

The recruiter called me based on seeing my resume on a job site. He arranged a phone screen with the hiring manager. About a week later I came into the office to meet with a number of people one on one and group style.

Interviewed Oct 2008 in Chicago, IL (took 2 days)
Interviewed over the phone by HR. Invited to a day of interview with 5 different persons. Most important thing was to show knowledge of the company. I read the last 10k report submitted to the SEC prior to going private. I got high remarks for that.

Interviewed Jul 2008 in Hoffman Est, IL (took 2 weeks)
1. HR phone interview
2. In-person Head-Hunter interview
3. TeamLead phone interview
4. In-person Team interview (5 people: 1 HR, 2 Teamleads, 1 Director, 1 TA, 1 Tech Ops)
Phone interviews were mostly informational about the company. They were probably gauging my personality also.
The in-person interview with the team was very informal and pleasant experience. Again basically feeling me out. They plain out said they knew I was techinical from my degree but wanted to be sure I had the personality for the team and understood the position. They wanted a long term employee.

Interviewed Sep 2008 in Chicago, IL (took 4+ weeks)
Interviewed with 4 different people: a senior in the group, the lead scientist in the group, the group leader, and an HR specialist. Seemed like pretty routine questions. Mostly only challenged by the scientist.

Negotiation Details
Lowball offer. I took it because I needed the job. Asking around to coworkers, it seems like their offers are usually based on previous salary, not about merit.

Interviewed Jun 2008 in Chicago, IL (took 1+ week)
I received a phone call from the HR department to set up an interview, then met with my prospective manager and another person who held the position I was applying for. That interview lasted about an hour, then I was called back a few days later to set up a second interview. HR then ran a background check.
