Interviewed Jun 2009 (took 2 weeks)
Had a phone interview and follow 1:1 meetings with 3 people. Most of the team (including the group VP) were new, having been there less than 1 month. They were very positive about changes they were making, however I still got the impression they had a lot of obstacles before they could make it a positve work culture. They had a history of high turnover and I think they need to settle in for awhile. I would rate each of my interviewers an A, B, C . There were a lot of interruptions and late starts, so after a while, it felt like they were just distracted and not really interested in my background.

Interviewed Jan 2008 in Cambridge, MA (took 3 weeks)
An in-house contract recruiter contacted me for the position via email and by phone. After interviewing with the recruiter, a phone screen was set up with the hiring manager. After that phone interview, two additional phone screens were scheduled with key stakeholders in the project. At that point, I was asked to provide at least two references. I gave them about 4 or 5 people they could call and they did contact those references and received favorable reviews of my performance. Based in large part on that, I was informed of an offer to come on board as a contractor via phone from the recruiter I had been working with. I never did have to do an onsite visit or have any in-person interviews, I was hired over the phone basically, but only after four (phone) interviews and the reference checks. There was some initial talk about the possibility of the position going permanent, but that did not work out for me and was let go after working there four months.
Negotiation Details
Yes, but the offer came in higher than expected, so I accepted it without asking for any adjustments or changes.

Interviewed Dec 2009 in Cambridge, MA (took 1+ week)
The recruiter was pleasent and organized but not knowledgeable about the position or company. The interviewers were ill prepared, did not allocate enough time for the actual interview and were confused about the position requirements and title.

Interviewed Jan 2010 (took a day)
five one to one interview for people from different department, very well prepared. pizza lunch with a lot of employees. The best is the open house that everyone was given a free ipod shuffle and lunch was awesome. Technical questions more than behavioral questions during the interview, and intelligence test was part of it, so very interesting and encouraging.

Interviewed Nov 2008 in Boston, MA (took a day)
Initially a phone screen and an online form was submitted along with background releases.
I was flown out and all was good until the recruiter pulled me out and tried to renegotiate a previously agreed salary range which I thought was very unprofessional. I left the interview with a sour taste.
Technicals are so so but they emphasize salesmanship over skills. We were a group of 20 candidates
and no one got a job offer. Avoid Pega.....

Interviewed May 2009 in Cambridge, MA (took 2 days)
Recruiter contacted me via phone. I participated in a phone interview to identify my skill-set and knowledge. Provided travel to Pegasystems office in MA where there was an interview day of multiple interviews with different personnel amd also included a technical presentation. It was unorganized and additionally I wasn't told to prepare a presentation, while other candidates were told at least a week in advance and had time to prepare. Other candidates arrived with Powerpoint presentations in hand. I never heard from a representative from pegasystems afer my interview. Pegasystems did provide for all travel and related expenses, but I thought it extremely unprofessionally to have never been given a decision one way or the other on the reulsts of the interview.

Interviewed Nov 2009 (took 2 weeks)
Process consisted of an interview with the hiring manager, the GM and HR. Discussion was interactive focusing on past experience and match for the job at hand. Not too technical for this level.
