Interviewed Dec 2011 in Washington, DC (took 1+ week)
Well, I talked to with HR first and HR felt that I was a great match for the position. Then I received a call from the manager. I have to say that everyone at Parsons was wonderful. There was drug test and background investigation.

Interviewed Nov 2011 (took a day)
It was a 15 minute telephone conversation. The person I spoke with was not all that prepared..which made me feel stronger. I was able to guess what she was going to ask me next. It did not suprise me that I didn't hear back from them. I would bet she didn't remember talking to me.

Interviewed Mar 2010 (took 5 days)
There were several rounds of phone interviews/conversations with an HR specialist, the department head, and the assigned functional manager. In-person interview was with the department manager and a team member who was able to provide more specific explanations about the job and day-to-day expectations of the position.

Negotiation Details
The waffled endlessly about salary. Benefits package is okay, but expensive. Stick to your guns about everything, unless you really just HAVE to have this on your resume or are interested in a particular project.
Other Details
I got the interview through a Staffing Agency and the interview consisted of a Phone Interview, a 1:1 Interview, a Drug Test and a Background Check.

Interviewed Mar 2010 in Pasadena, CA (took 8 months)
HR was very professional and upbeat but the specific division I interviewed with had internal turmoil that caused delay after delay, reposting employment ad where they changed the requirements several times leading untimely to the decision of postponing due to hiring freeze. Interview process involved heads of department then short informal get to know one-on-one 15 minute Q&A from departmental employees. Employees were understandably nervous and defensive due to the fact that they were not included in on the departmental strategic goals and did not know that they were interviewing for this specific position that directly affected them. Interview was in March 2010 then was drawn out for 8 months which made the internal turmoil transparent. Corporate culture felt very 80’s and the corporate office atmosphere was depressing. From speaking with employee’s it was apparent that they were very task specific not understanding the big picture. – very reactive and not proactive.
