Interviewed Jan 2010 (took 2 months)
Getting hired at Pega is a real challenge. The interview process is very scrutinizing. You have to make it by a number of hiring managers plus the VP of Global Pre-Sales. It also involves a presentation to a panel. After you are hired the onboarding process takes up to 4 months. You have to get certified on the PRPC platform and attend several weeks of product and sales training.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
Get concrete examples of what other companys are paying for the same role and push them to offer more. They always low ball and insist that it is market. You have to do some research and hit them with that...
Other Details
I got the interview through an Employee Referral and the interview consisted of a Phone Interview, a 1:1 Interview, a Group/Panel Interview, a Presentation, a Personality Test and a Background Check.

Interviewed Feb 2010 (took 4 weeks)
I was referred by a friend. Took about 4 weeks beginning to end. First week was a handful of calls with the HR recruiter, interspersed with 2-3 phone interviews with senior managers, directors and VPs. I thought all were very positive people, very energetic. They were very upfront about the knowns and the unknowns (travel requirements, wich I actually travel far less than they estimated, yea!).
Then came the onsite. Very first rate--they flew me out, took me to lunch, etc. First was a demo of their product to me by a senior engineer, then several 1-on-1 interviews with managers and VPs, then a presentation to the group. And another 1-on-1 with my VP. Very little techincal, mostly soft skills, as per the nature of this pre-sales position. Actually, technical is my strong point for this position, so soft skills is what they really wanted to gauge.
Last was the waiting. They kept me updated that an offer WAS coming, but it got hung up at a few steps (waiting for signatures). Took about 3 weeks for that, a little nerve-wracking as I really wanted the job.

Negotiation Details
The process took longer than I hoped, but a part of that was trying to figure out the salary. ended with very fair offer and me accepting it. I would suggest be bold, be confident, ask for what you want without waivering (that doesn't mean without compromising). They are not pushovers at all, but they are reasonable.
