Interviewed Jun 2010 in Seattle, WA (took a day)
PATH gets a TON of applications, and I was lucky to have been chosen for an en entry-level communications position. It was more similar to an administrative position, and didn't really play up to my prior skills as an ED for a non-profit, as well as a Program Director for another non-profit.
I had a panel interview, with really basic questions. After that interview I was asked to interview with the director I was going to be assisting, and that was a brief 1 on 1.
I was told that the job was very administrative and wouldn't play to my prior director level experience well. In all honesty, I'm happy they told me that and that I didn't move forward, because I think I wouldn't have been too happy in that position.

Phone interview, and then a tour of the lab facilities. Manager of the lab asked how I'd improve on the test setups that they had available. I asked a lot of questions, which is why I think I got it (my background wasn't really a closely matching fit for the position) -- overall, work culture seems great; employees get travel opportunities, and everyone I met seemed to really enjoy working there (and had strong enthusiasm for the company's mission/impact as well).

Interviewed Oct 2011 in Seattle, WA (took 2 months)
Well-coordinated evaluation process starting with the HR team and then moving on to the hiring manager and other key individuals which the position would interact with. The professionalism and courteousness of the teams came through loud and clear giving a very favorable impression of the organization. The entire process from 1st screening call to offer letter did take a while, but it was probably reflective of the rigor associated with the evaluation cycle to ensure a good fit - a plus for both parties. Throughout, I was kept abreast of what stage we were at, thereby providing an excellent candidate experience.

Interviewed Oct 2010 in Seattle, WA (took 4+ weeks)
Had 2 interviews, one with PATH recruiter and then she referred me to the hiring manager.Recruiter interview lasted 45min. Salary expectation was requested in first call, since as a non-profit they offer a bit below the industry average and as the recruiter told me "learning the salary range for the position usually stops people who are not very interested".
Second interview with hiring manager was ok, I got the impression that things were very political and chaotic at PATH. Interview was not very structured, I asked more questions about the position than they asked me. No offer was made of course, but a thank you but no thank you email would have been nice either from the hiring manager or the recruiter. No word whatsoever from either one! Sorry, but that experience and everything I learned about the organization made me think twice about applying there again. Too bad...

Interviewed Oct 2009 in Seattle, WA (took 2 months)
Received a phone interview from the HR recruiter shortly after posting my resume to the site. Discussed my background and was told I was a good candidate. Three weeks later I was invited to a day of 1:1 interviews with the Directors and VP, all of whom were under the impression I was going to be working for them aboutt 75% of the time. In my followup call with the recruiter, I noted the perception that I was going to be working for many different bosses. I asked who I would be reporting to and this threw the recruiter for a loop. They ended up not hiring for the position when they couldn't decide on a supervisor and job design.
