Interviewed Mar 2012 in New York, NY (took a day)
Application was sent in January, heard nothing for 2 months, then suddenly a request for a phone screening interview from HR. I believe this person is a contractor, not a direct employee of NYU. Was told I would hear from Hiring Manager if he was interested, but no time line was available. Never heard anything back, almost 1 month later

Interviewed Mar 2011 in New York, NY (took 2 months)
Interviewed here in 2011. Was strung along for two months and 5 interviews for two different positions. At the end of it all, they didn't even have the decency to inform me of their decision- I had to call the office numerous to get a hold of the HR manager who was dodging my calls.

Interviewed Sep 2011 in New York, NY (took a day)
I found a listing on the NYU Wasserman Center for Career Development website for my job. After submitting my resume, I received a phone call within 10 minutes offering me an interview. During the interview, I was immediately given a pen-and-paper examination for my technical ability. After about 30 minutes, the interviewer collected the test (although I had not completed it) and I received the job offer by phone later during the day.

Interviewed Jan 2012 (took 2 months)
I applied for a position at NYU and was promptly contacted by a recruiter. We scheduled a phone interview for the following week after several days of waiting for her to get back to me. She called me about 30 minutes late, but was nice enough to email me after the first 15 minutes to tell me she was running behind.
It took about 45 minutes, during which time I was very explicit about the salary range I'd be willing to accept. I was coming from several states away and had to take time off work, pay for travel and lodging and didn't want to waste their time or my own money. NYU has pay bands (which are not displayed on their website) and the one for this job said "pending" so getting a salary range out of the recruiter was like pulling teeth. I feel they should have been more transparent about this- you cannot advertise a job in the most expensive city in the world and not disclose the salary range.
6 weeks went by and no news, then out of the blue, I get an interview request from the director of the department. I took 2 days off work, took the train down, booked a room, and showed up. The interview itself was pleasant enough, and I really enjoyed meeting the team and seeing how their office was structured.
However, the interviewer kept referring to a number of open positions on their site and when I asked him to clarify that I was there for the senior position (the only one I'd applied for) he said he was interviewing me for all of them, not necessarily the position I'd applied for. I mentioned my conversation with the recruiter and he looked surprised- I'm not sure if this was a gross miscommunication between the two of them or if this was simply their hiring process. I understand that this is a large university, but this level of disorganization would be totally unacceptable in most workplaces.
I wouldn't want to work for them after this- I feel as though I wasted money just to be interviewed for a job I explicitly stated that I wasn't interested in. I'm not sure if the recruiter has quotas she needs to meet, but I feel she was incredibly shady and irresponsible. If you're coming from out of town, be sure to get everything about the interview in writing before you head out. Additionally, they appear to be having an exceptionally high percentage of turnover and repeatedly asked me about my work ethic and how I worked under pressure-which is all code for "we will work you to death without paying you overtime." I hope this was just a reflection of the specific office I applied to work in and not the school as a whole-they seem to be one of the largest employers in NYC and something else might open up someday.
It should be noted that I have a great job where I am, but was looking to move out of state to be closer to my family. If you're unemployed or looking to make an immediate change, I'm sure all of this would have been easy to look past.

Interviewed Feb 2012 (took 1 week)
I applied for this position and heard back from a HR representative in a week. The representative was extremely friendly and professional while conducting the phone-screen, which lasted for approximately 15 minutes. The representative had explained to me prior to the interview that the screening would last about 10 minutes and there would be time at the end for my questions. This was a very pleasant experience and although I did not move further along in the process I am very encouraged to keep applying for future opportunities with this institution.

Interviewed Nov 2009 in New York, NY (took a day)
I attended a job fair and met with a recruiter. This was where I introduced myself in 3 sentences and explained my interest in their organization and relevant job openings. The recruiter followed up with me the following day and scheduled me for an initial interview the next day. When we met for our formal interview, I completed a typing test and then discussed my long term goals. The recruiter then shuffled thru the available positions and found a research opportunity and called the manager on the spot for an interview. The same day I met with my position supervisor and interviewed with him. I was offered the job the next day and started work the following week.
