Interviewed Nov 2011 (took 4+ weeks)
I contacted the HR woman by email and we had a short talk, basically about my research at the university, followed by a few questions. After the talk she said that she will set up another interview with one of the project leaders. It has been silent for about two weeks and then I got the schedule of the next interview. This time I got a phone call from a researcher, we talked for about half an hour about my recent paper and the projects that they were running. Three weeks later they sent me an email telling that I was not selected for the position.

Interviewed Jun 2011 (took a day)
I was interviewed by several people. Two other administrative assistants as well as the head CEO's assistant. They interviewed me very informally and took me to lunch at the on site cafeteria. A very pleasant experience. I was also interviewed by the management team I would be working for, two scientists, as well as a number of their reports. The interview was concluded by the HR Manager. It was a positive experience.

Interviewed Oct 2009 (took 8 weeks)
After applying online via the company's website, I was contacted by the company's internal recruiter. While she did not know much about the position,industry or organizational structure, she was kind and prompt.
After the phone interview, I was scheduled for a group interview for a few weeks later. The group interview with the team was disorganized and there was tension among the members. After the team interview,the internal recruiter called me for a phone interview with HR. While she was nice too, she did not know much about the position or reporting structure. After this phone interview,the internal recruiter called to job offer me.The offer was from her, not the company's management or HR,which was odd. There was a lot of disconnect and inefficiencies. The background company took such a long time for verification, that I had to submit my tax forms.It was the longest interview+hiring process that I ever experienced and very unnecessary.

Interviewed May 2010 (took 3 months)
The process started with a phone interview from H.R. about a job that I didn't apply for. It was two months later that I found about they had scheduled a in-person interview with the hiring manager as well as a panel interview with some directors. The interview at intense but I felt confident. I followed up with the hiring manager and was told to follow up with H.R. It wasn't for three weeks after the interview, after calling and emailing, that I received a response. Unfortunately, I didn't get the job but they did think I was a good candidate that they will consider in the future.
