Interviewed Nov 2011 (took a day)
Went in for a quick 30 minute interview with two people (a hiring manager and a project manager. They didn't specify if this was the project manager of the team I'd be working with, but I don't think so). A week later, they called and said they would extend me an offer.
Full disclosure, I had an internship with them the summer before, so that probably explains the shorter than normal interview process (when I walked in for the full-time interview, they commented on the review my manager over the summer gave me). That internship interview consisted of solely recording my answers to interview questions (presented via a website I had to login to) with a webcam they mailed me.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
Negotiated a higher salary pretty smoothly. I asked for a higher number, they gave me something that was 30% of the way between the initial offer and what I asked for, which was good enough for me.
As general advice for all offers, just ask for a better offer in some way. Worst that would happen is they say no (they're not going to rescind an offer just because you asked for a higher salary/more benefits....). Best that could happen is that they say yes. Most likely, they'll counter negotiate.
And learn some negotiating tactics, because that'll help you in a lot of cases, especially once you finally have the job.
Other Details
The interview consisted of a Group/Panel Interview.

Interviewed Nov 2011 in Lisle, IL (took a day)
Had 1 hr long panel interview that consisted of all behavioral type questions. It was a very strict and direct interview, there wrote down all my answers.
I feel like I could have done a better job on answering the questions asked.
Note for future candidates, practice and ace the STAR interview technique. It is essential for Navistar Interviews.

Interviewed May 2011 in Tulsa, OK (took a day)
The interview process was straight forward and quite simple. I was a little nervous at first but after talking to the interviewers, they made me feel comfortable and i had a blast just talking about various things. After that, there was a tour of the bus making plant which was huge. Overall, a fun experience.

Interviewed Jan 2009 in Melrose Park, IL (took a day)
Relatively easy interview. Initial interview portion was a panel interview with questions more pertaining to my experience rather than typical "tell us about a time when you _______." After answering a few questions they really began showing me around the place as if I already accepted the offer and was planning to start the next day. I was extended an offer a few days later, but declined after my current employer intervened and gave me a counter offer to stay with them.

Interviewed May 2011 in Melrose Park, IL (took 2 weeks)
I was contacted by a hiring manager after applying online. I had a phone interview when he called and he asked about my skills and interests. He said he would contact me again in a few days to set up an interview. He never called so I called him and we arranged to have my fly out for an interview. I flew to Chicago, had the interview the same day which lasted about 1.5 hours and flew home. I was contacted at the end of the next week.

Interviewed Oct 2010 (took 3 weeks)
The interview process was pretty typical. First interview was on campus asked standard behavioral questions then a few technichal questions. Was invited to second round where the night before the interview they had an intense networking reception (Be prepared with lots of good questions). Next day you have a computer text over accounting/finance concepts. Know financial ratios, be able to classify economic events, know variances, and know how fiancial statments connect ie cash is on balance sheet and statement of cash flows. Many said the test was not bad, but for me it was challangeing. After your test you have two interviews in which one of them is based on a case. One interviewer did not seem to care for me, but that is his probelm. Overall not a bad experience.

Interviewed Jan 2011 in Lisle, IL (took 2 days)
Interview is a well organized. Many candidates Interviewed on that day . Suppose a Major hiring event.
Phone screening , followed by a Inperson interview with 2 hiring managers for 2 rounds of interview.
Managers were very technical and highly savvy. Questions were mainly behavioral and what if scenarios.
Offered was given out same day for Many candidates. Declined offer
Interview Questions
Reason for Declining
Offer was ok but Not great, Very little information shared about location, relocation specifics your reporting department , supervisor. etc. to make final call. Information sharing overall could be made better to influence a more positive experience on the overall interview process.
Other Details
I got the interview through a Recruiter and the interview consisted of a Phone Interview, a 1:1 Interview and a Group/Panel Interview.
