Interviewed Mar 2012 (took 3 days)
Called me back after several months of resume submission. Interview was thorough and helpful. Asked many basic questions such as "Why makes you competitive" and "what are some of your personal flaws". Overall great interview. Office was lavish, location is in Fairport, which is quite an uppity part of Rochester.

Interviewed May 2009 in Brooklyn, NY (took 1 week)
They call you ask you to come down and go over the job briefly. They want you to come back a second time to be sure if you are serious. This is a numbers game, if you have a pulse and nothing is on your record you will get a shot.
Negotiation Details
none because there is no salary.

Interviewed May 2009 in Vienna, VA (took a day)
Manager was pretty clear about what the job actually was. I had three interviews, one on campus, managing partner and my manager again. There wasn't any sugar coating it that it was a hard job but they asked questions to see if you were a good fit.

Interviewed May 2011 in Knoxville, TN (took 1 week)
I received an interview through my university's career services department. From the outset, the position description and what the partner/hiring manager was describing seemed widely different. While the job is advertised as a "financial representative" position, it appears to be little more than cut throat sales. They expect you to earn 6k in order to be "triggered" in the first month. This is achieved by selling to your "natural market," i.e. your friends and family. Training is unpaid, and your "base" is actually salary matching at 80% the first year. Therefore, if you are unable to sell your sales goal the first month, you are both fired and in the hole due to your costs associated with training materials. If the interview seems overly easy, it is only because they are trying to sell the company to you, not the other way around.

Interviewed Jan 2010 in Sunrise, FL (took 2 weeks)
It began with a phone interview and personality test. Second interview was a one one with the sales manager. Shortly after I was invited to a company presentation with other potential candidates where we were introduced to the rest of the sales managers, directors and so on for their seal of approval. Finally the background check and drug test.
