Interviewed Mar 2012 (took 3 weeks)
I was first contacted by a senior HR manager through LinkedIn. I was looking to make a move from my current role as a CPA to a financial analyst role. Had a phone interview with HR where they basically described the position that was open and shortly thereafter I scheduled the office visit.
The live interview process consisted of meeting one-on-one with a senior manager, a couple directors and HR. I also was required to prepare a 20 minute powerpoint presentation outlining my background, skills, goals, etc., which I presented to about 8 people (including those who interviewed me).
Basic questions, mostly behavioral ("tell me about a time when you encountered a difficult personality at work" type). Overall it was a smooth interview process.

Interviewed Jan 2011 (took 2 days)
Phone screen with HR at first. Interviewed within the group that had the opening after making the "cut". Second round a few wees afterwards and got an offer.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
Low-balled the offer as I am unemployed. Then brought up stuff that kind of forced me to settle for what was offered and made to feel like I had no leverage.

Interviewed May 2010 in New Rochelle, NY (took a day)
First had a very basic phone interview to ensure interest in the company and detail what I was looking for in terms of a job there.
Then they called me in for a day- Had 3 interviews with different employees of the company, one that included HR. Each interview was a half-hour and all pretty basic. Mostly behavioral questions and a lot of resume picking. Make sure you have good examples for times you worked well with a team, etc. Nothing technical really, aside from making sure I knew Excel.
The people were very nice and treated all of the job applicants with respect, as far as I could see. Company culture seemed laid back, easy-going, and friendly.

Interviewed Mar 2010 (took a day)
I was supposed to have a 30 minute phone interview with a woman from HR but instead she called late, had me on the phone for only 12 minutes and could not answer a single question about the job. Not surprisingly, it was very difficult to get through an interview about a job the person has no clue about.
