Interviewed Jul 2011 (took 2 weeks)
I received an initial phone interview accessing my skills, previous employment and duties, and experience after scheduling through HR via email. It took about 30 minutes, and was average. I received an email a few days later requesting 1:1 interview. The 1:1 interview took about 1 hour where I met multiple personnel accessing the skill set needed for the position.

Interviewed Feb 2011 in College Park, MD (took a day)
My interview (for the College Technical Intern position at Northrop Grumman) was unlike many other tech firms' interviews. The company really focuses on well-rounded personality -- meaning they're more interested in your ideas, visions and capability than your knowledge from classes. I had two interviewers; both of them asked me behavioral/personality questions, but there was a subtle difference in those questions.

Interviewed Sep 2011 (took 1 week)
The initial phone interview was scheduled after business hours at my request and was very positive and I was given an opportunity to schedule an in-person interview. Unfortunately, between the phone and in-person interviews, I was ill for several days and needed to reschedule the interview. The recruiter and interviewer were very kind and understanding of the situation and worked with me to schedule the interview. The in-person interview was long (1.5 hours) and I talked with several people - all of them were very nice and professional.

Interview was straight forward. The members asked questions to gain a greater understanding of my background and work experience. Nothing to cosmic.

Interviewed Aug 2009 in Palmdale, CA (took 2 months)
Interest by HR and Management and I had 1 interview by Chief Engineer and 2 other managers.
They indicated in the Job Description on what they wanted. I was prepared for the specifics. But turned the tables indicating they where looking for other specific experiences. End of interview. Waited 3 weeks for a response. Not selected Wishing future endevers. Basically it was of waste of my time.
Management was not interested in lots of experience on what the requisition posted indicated.
Poor HR Skills in there office. Culture white only.

Interviewed Jul 2011 in Palmdale, CA (took a day)
Not really an interview, as they canceled at the last minute. Wasn't a big deal as far as the job was concerned, pretty sure I didn't want it anyhow, but I would have liked to interview to at least learn more about the position and present myself to the company. It was something really simple in my resume that should have been caught during screening but wasn't. Makes me think they just set up a mass interview, but who knows. They were at least nice about it.

Interviewed Apr 2011 in Schaumburg, IL (took a day)
The entire interview took about 6 hours. I met with 5 different managers, as the program I interviewed for could potentially put me under 3 of them. Questions ranged from generic to interesting. One manager was more interested in my skills, one more interested in my resume, another more interested in my educational and lifestyle background. Overall I had a very positive experience during and after the actual interview but was extremely disappointed when I did not hear back from them (when I was told that I would be notified either way at the end of the month.) I tried e-mailing HR 2-3 times without receiving a reply.

I walked in to a hiring event, sat with a program manager who explained the job. After reviewing my resume, he asked that I apply to one of three different positions. I was asked to provide my salary requirement and they offered it to me. I was asked to begin work within the next two weeks.
