Interviewed Jan 2011 in Columbus, OH (took 2 weeks)
The recruiter called me during evening, there is a 12 hours time difference between two countries. He asked every line and every word on my resume. It took more than 3 hours to finish the interview. The position is immediate, they want me to work there in the following month. I was not able to do so.

Interviewed Feb 2009 in Columbus, OH (took 5 days)
The interview process was an amazing experience. I talked to the professor who runs the laboratory and also to the research scientists. Everyone was very respectful and considerate. The questions were mostly about my previous research experience and lab techniques, as well as why I am interested to join this lab.

Interviewed Jun 2010 in Columbus, OH (took a day)
I was interviewed in a large conference room by several individuals. They were all easy going and friendly, so it wasn't a bad experience. They asked simple, general questions, most likely to find out more about my personality than the actual answer to the question. They interviewed 3 people in the span of 2 weeks, then called me and told me I got the job.

Interviewed Jul 2009 in Columbus, OH (took 3 months)
Initial communications through proactive networking; required to also apply online; an interview was promptly scheduled; panel interview and participants were uninformed, did not have my resume and tried to apply behavior based interviewing questions ineffectively; one interviewer who was a direct hiring manager was confrontational, lacked professionalism, and common courtesy; culture lacks communications; they need to be more conscientious of how the organization is represented; ensure timely and clear communications; extended an offer 2+ months later after a series of internal circumstances partially due to policy and union affiliation policy
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
None. Offered top of band pay range that required several approvals; Union affiliation was a requirement for hire which was not clear initially
Other Details
The interview consisted of a Phone Interview, a Group/Panel Interview and a Background Check.
