Interviewed Jul 2010 in Malvern, PA (took 4+ weeks)
The interview process was very straightforward and open. The salary range was presented during the initial phone screen. During the in person interview, I met with the director of the group and two senior level team members. We discussed my previous work history and what skills I possessed. I was told about the core business and what a typical day is like. We discussed the company culture and how people interact with each other. Overall, it was a very positive discussion with all members.

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 Jan 2011 in Malvern, PA (took 2 days)
The HR first contacted me, and explained about Trafiic.com which was essentially acquired by Navteq, and he set up a technical phone interview. The lady who called me just started shooting technical questions at me without explaining about the position or the kind of work they do. I was then scheduled to meet with 3 technical people for a "casual" interview - but guess what..the first guy who came in had a 2 inch thick bundle of technical questions. They also explained how people are expected to work longer hours and during weekends if required.
The Malvern campus looks really nice, but the attitude of this company is far from it's parent company based in Chicago - it has a small company feel to it. Also, the HR didn't even bother informing me that I wasn't selected.

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.
