Interviewed May 2009 (took a day)
The interview was very straightforward. Brief introductions were made, the job description was reviewed. The interviewer proceeded to ask questions regarding the position: Comfort level talking to strangers, asking strangers questions, comfortable conducting interviews in strangers' homes.

Interviewed Mar 2011 in Durham, NC (took 4 weeks)
Phone interview followed by a series of very positive in-person interviews. I was very well qualified for the position. After interviews with IDG team leads senior people and a subsequent meeting with the director, all of which went well, I was then kept waiting for more than four weeks before I gave up hope. Repeated (though reasonable) attempts to contact HR or the hiring manager for an update were either met with silence or an explanation that the decisionmakers were traveling and had not made a decision. Never heard anything concrete, and I've since gone elsewhere. I was extremely put off by how the whole thing was handled, and have advised others in my current firm to avoid RTI.

Interviewed Aug 2010 (took 2 weeks)
I originally had a short phone interview with the hiring manager. He asked me a few basic questions on econometrics. Arrangements were made to bring me in to interview in person. Met with several different people in the program over the course of a day and answered the basic questions including why RTI. Asked to speak about my past research experience. Few days later they phoned to make me an offer.

I went to their Washington, DC regional office. I met with the existing IT Specialist onsite and met with the other team memebers via Video Conferencing in their main conference room. The interview was a mix of personal and technical questions and lasted for about an hour. After the interview I received a call later that day with an offer.

Interviewed Nov 2010 (took 1 week)
The interview process was great. I first spoke with the Recruiter who scheduled me to speak with the Directors about two days later. I spoke with them and then they offered to fly me up to meet with the rest of the team and have a face to face. I flew in and out on the same day. Great Experience. Nice people. Great questions and I felt prepared.

Interviewed Feb 2010 (took 3 weeks)
First interview was a phone interview with the hiring manager and at the conclusion of our conversation, I was asked to fly down to interview in office. They arranged my flight, hotel, and car service to/from the airport which was great and easy. The in office interviews took about 5-6 hours of the day and consisted of the usual round after round of interviews with potential colleagues. Some were senior level and some were not. The questions were all background and behavioral, no case stuff. I was also asked to fill out a paper application so they could check my academic and professional credentials. Nobody ever followed up on their end with regard to credentialing, reference checking, etc. I never heard back and assumed they were still trying to make a decision. I've heard it takes them quite a while to extend an offer so I have no idea where I stood. I did reach out to the hiring manager but was never able to get that person to respond to me until I told them I moved onto another position. In that respect, I feel that they could have been clearer as to timeline in making a hiring decision.
