Interviewed Jan 2012 (took 3 weeks)
Had a phone screen by site HR person, followed by a phone interview with the hiring manager, and was later invited to a site interview. The site interview consisted of an interview by the HR Manager, and was followed by a panel interview with the hiring manager and two of his peers. The panel interview consisted of a mix of behavioral interview questions, and technical questions. Things got pretty strange during the interview with the site Director. Throughout the interview, the Director asked very few questions (I counted four), yet he was very chatty about his career aspirations, background, etc. He found it necessary to use a lot of obscenities during the discussion. I felt like I was at a coffee shop in a truck stop, rather than talking to someone who is a step away from a VP position. It was definitely not professional behavior, even if he was trying to shock me for some reason. I was more impressed by the other managers at this facility than their leader.

Interviewed Jun 2011 in Minneapolis, MN (took 4 weeks)
Directions to the interview location not the best, ended up arriving 10 min late. I was scheduled to meet with 2 directors, each having positions open, then asked to stay longer to meet with a recently retired HR director, investing over 3 hours in the interview process only to not hear back for weeks after and to be turned down at that point. All indications through the selection process were very positive, the turn down came as a surprise.

Interviewed May 2011 (took 2 months)
First found the position on Linkedin and applied. Two months later got a phone call that they were interested in doing a phone interview with recruiter. After that was able to move on to a in person interview with hiring manager. This was composed of two separate interview right after each other. Hiring mangers were easy to talk with and had projects that they wanted to get done, that I demonstrated I could do.

Interviewed Nov 2010 in North Aurora, IL (took 4 weeks)
Had a call from their HR department in early October. Interview kept getting "Canceled" or "pushed back". Didn't finally meet with them until early November. I met with HR and two other managers. HR was okay, no questions or anything. Just wanted to buy time until the first manager was ready. First manager ended up being 30 minutes late. (interview was for 2, this person didn't show up til 2:30). No interview question, just "vented" about what is going wrong. Didn't set a real positive tone. Second manager had never seen my resume. Ask me for a copy and was looking at it while I waited. The weirdest question I was asked was "what was the last book you read?" Second manager stated that they were interested in filling the position within the next "30-45 days" because they didn't want to lose the headcount for next year.
