Interviewed Mar 2010 in Brooklyn, NY (took 1 week)
I initially applied online. About 2 weeks later I received a call asking for a phone interview. After the phone interview with an HR person I had an interview with someone in the department. At this point they narrowed down the pool to around 5 applicants, so I was asked for an in-person interview. The in-person interview took about a day. I was interviewed by people in the department, the office, and by the students. It was a long process but it was best for both myself and the students.

Interviewed Mar 2012 in Brooklyn, NY (took 5 weeks)
After initial online application there was a few weeks of waiting, then the Program Director spoke with me briefly on the phone, but it seemed as though she had already intended to invite me for the panel interview. When i arrived she ended up being in a meeting, so I was only interviewed by one other person until she finished her meeting. It took about an hour, followed a script, and included your standard: tell me why this job, talk about your strengths, talk about an example of a good manager you had...etc. and was followed by some situational questions, i.e what would you do if.....the two women that interviewed me were very nice and friendly, they clearly got along with each other.
Interview Questions
Reason for Declining
i had another job offer that was extremely time sensitive and the whole ordeal felt extremely rushed. Since the job was a consultant position there was no benefits and it was only 35 hours a week. In general I never felt 100% clear on what exactly I would be doing in the position and was concerned that the employer did not have a deep understanding of my skill set and if it was adequate.

The interview consisted of a Phone Interview and a Group/Panel Interview.

Interviewed Jan 2012 in New York, NY (took 2 months)
I submitted an online application and got a response about one month later asking for a phone interview. That interview lasted for about half an hour, and then another few weeks passed. Then, the DOE invited me for an in-person interview with two people, and then another in-person interview with several more people one week later. I also submitted some writing samples and professional and academic references at that time. Another week or two went by, and then the Department offered the position, and I accepted.

Negotiation Details
I did not negotiate much. I think there is room for negotiation, although with government pay scales, there probably isn't the latitude that there would be with private companies.
Other Details
I Applied Online and the interview consisted of a Phone Interview, a 1:1 Interview and a Background Check.

Interviewed Feb 2009 in New York, NY (took a day)
Met with IT team for city agency including vendor management, IT directors and business management. They were proposing a very tight schedule to complete a very large project in the hopes the result would solve many mission-critical issues. I advised them that their best approach would be to analyze the project for opportunities to reduce scope and reduce schedule risk. In all, I gave 6 people about 2 hours of free management consulting. They asked hardball questions and seemed genuinely interested in my expertise and how I could advise them to reach success. I don't know how they pursued the position after I left, but since they didn't call they either reevaluated their situation or were looking for someone who would promise a high-risk course of action.
