Interviewed Sep 2009 in Bellevue, WA (took 3 weeks)
First their HR recruiter contacted and did a phone interview. And then I was arranged to see the accounting manager, and controller. They asked about some specific excel skills and my work experience. And they asked a few questions about how do I handle work and tasks.

Interviewed Aug 2008 in Bellevue, WA (took 5 months)
Five interviews with people that didn't bother to read my resume. Too lazy to really do anything but spout pre-formatted information about the company. The few specifics I did receive turned out to be lies, and I've been lied to so much that I just refuse to believe anything that anyone ever says. There is a constant threat of firing if you fail, and zero interest in helping any employee succeed.

Negotiation Details
I was able to negotiate only because I had another offer. They were terse and uncommunicative during the interview process.

Interviewed May 2010 in Kirkland, WA (took a day)
I initially applied for the job online and received a phone call a week or two later. The interview was set up on an agreed upon date. Upon entering the office, I was lead to a small conference room with three people. The majority of the questions seemed to be personality based, but they also had a few technical questions which were not too difficult. The interviewers were friendly and personable so it was easy to relax when answering the questions. Everybody at the office seemed friendly, but it is also a very conservative atmosphere.

Interviewed Jun 2010 (took 5 days)
From the decor and the appearance of the employees, it is obviously a conservative company. Drab cubicles are where the employees spend their time.

Interviewed May 2010 in Bellevue, WA (took 1 week)
After getting through the phone interview I was scheduled for a face to face. Anyways, all the candidates met in a conference room before hand and got the normal introduction to the company. Each candidate had 6 one-on-one interviews with different managers. All were very nice and down to earth. Some offered very valuable advice for succeeding in the industry. Each interviewer seemed to ask similar questions. Ask the interviewer about how they got to where they are in the company. People like to talk about themselves and you can learn a lot about the company that way.

Interviewed Sep 2009 (took a day)
I did not want to interview with PACCAR because I had heard all of the rumors about how conservative they are but a recruiter practically forced me to go and I thought I should check it out for myself. The people really were very nice but everything I had heard (and some that was new to me) about the culture was accurate. They are very proud of this so be careful about how you ask culture questions. They wear suits every day. There's a lunch room for managers. You can't eat at your desk. They work hard but my perception was that if you are successful you can get promoted fairly quickly. I was asked by more than one interviewer if I have thick skin - it sounds like upper management is probably full of jerks and they can treat you how they want and you are expected to suck it up because everyone is afraid of them. Easy interviews but you really have to come across like you're excited about the culture.

Interviewed Sep 2008 in Renton, WA (took 2 weeks)
The first step of the process was a phone interview. After a few days I was contacted and they set up another interview for the next business week. It was 5:1 and not even at a round table. Me on one side of the table and the others all asking questions from what looked to be duplicates of the same sheet. It was difficult knowing whom to address with so many people and I thought it was weird to have all at once as opposed to separate interviews. Either way, I think my case is rare, but expect standard questions and zero creativity. Like everything at PACCAR, they were by the book.
