Interviewed Feb 2011 in Culver City, CA (took 6 weeks)
The interview process with NPR was streamlined and very professional. I was notified by phone by the hiring manager that I was selected for an interview. My first interview was with the hiring manager over the phone, the second interview was with the hiring manager and another employee with whom I would be working in the department. The questions were straightforward, nothing too out of the box. The job required skills using Microsoft PowerPoint, and I was asked to send a presentation as an example. I appreciated the fact that the hiring manager kept me apprised throughout the interview process, letting me know when she would call concerning the next step. This was the first time I applied to NPR. I did not get an offer for this position, and was told that the job was offered to someone with more marketing experience and who lived locally. Overall, the process was a positive experience and I plan to apply to NPR in the future.

Interviewed May 2009 (took 2 weeks)
They were very nice, but it seemed a bit rushed and discombobulated. The people in that office seemed happy though, and they seemed to be interested in finding someone who meshed well with the current people. I found the questions to be a bit simplistic and not indicative of skill set.

Interviewed May 2011 in Washington, DC (took 5 days)
HR phone interview, then hiring manager phone interview. They flew me out a few days later, and everybody was very nice. While they called the day a "long day", really it was only 9am-3pm with a 90 minute break for a group lunch. Half of the interviewers spent their time talking about culture and process. When I started showing my portfolio, the conversations derailed into related topics.

Interviewed Jun 2010 in Albany, NY (took 2 weeks)
Started off with a group interview of two people and then followed up with a 1:1 interview with the CEO. Interview questions were very basic and atmosphere was very friendly.

Interviewed Oct 2009 (took a day)
Initial communications through resume and cover letter.
Contacted by recruiter who reviewed work and work relevance to position.
Recruiter indicated that she was pleased with background, experience, telephone interview, and set up telephone interview with VP finance for the following day.
Canceled meeting via email with no reason cited. I suspect foul play in this matter.
This was nasty treatment from a highly visable company needing public support and goodwill to succeed.
I would like to see boycott of NPR offerings--however realize that this is a single case.
If many posts like this take place, suggest that boycott be invoked.
