Interviewed Apr 2011 in Jersey City, NJ (took 1 week)
Submitted my resume online and was contacted by one of the engineers. Had an interview with 2 engineers and it was basically a formality. They didn't ask too many questions and after the interview made me fill out a paper application along with background information. Was offered the position within the week.

Interviewed Apr 2010 in Newark, NJ (took 2 days)
First, met with the engineering department, two engineers (mid-level and senior-level). This interview was for a summer internship. They asked questions about the classes I was taking, no technical or behavioral questions at all. Second, met with HR for a 1:1 interview. A few questions about why I wanted to work for PA, ...tell me about a time when a job was frustrating and what did you do? etc. Got the offer the same day.

Negotiation Details
The offer was really good, above the average although this is a goverment agency. They paid was about $20/hr whereas companies like Turner and Skanska pay less than $17/hr to their summer interns.
