Interviewed May 2009 in Andover, MA (took a day)
They found my resume in their database and invited me to a hiring event. I had three people at the table interviewing me, and they just asked me questions like what would make me a valuable asset to the company. There were no technical questions. My impression afterwards was that they were looking for people with the right kind of personality to fit in their team, rather than technical expertise.

Interviewed Sep 2011 (took 1 week)
It was hard to judge that because of the number of jobs and just plaining assisting you have to do in my current role. I felt that I was not specific enough.
Other Details
I Applied Online and the interview consisted of a Phone Interview and a 1:1 Interview.

Interviewed Jun 2009 (took 4+ weeks)
I submitted my resume to their online job posting forum/database. I received a interview about three weeks later, I went in for the interview. Not much of a technical interview. They asked about previous experience and there was hardly any technical content involved. It was mainly a chance to demonstrate if you have the qualities to work with the people there. Usually, the person who requested the posting doesn't show up and someone else sat in. Not ideal, but should at least see the person before hiring him/her. I followed up a week later and the recruiter was kind enough to inform that I was a good fit. The rest was history.

Negotiation Details
I would suggest anyone out there who is looking for a job/ or changing a job to find out what the typical salary level for the position is. Then make adjustments. Unless you have an offer from another company, don't bother negotiating. Be prepared to walk away any time.

Interviewed Feb 2010 (took 1+ week)
Submitted my resume online on their site. Applied online for an opening that I heard about from a recruiter. Got a call back for an interview at the site. I was taken on a tour of the site, taken into a conference room for a one on one interview, then a second employee interviewed me as well. I received a call back saying that I was a finalist and that I would have a final phone interview with another manager to determine whether I got the job. I was told I was the best candidate and that he would forward his positive notes to the recruiter at HR. The recruiter later called me with an offer that was valid upon successful completion of a full screening including background check, drug test, and verification of citizenship and eligibility to work in the US.

No negotiations for this entry-level position. I would recommend being respectful, honest, and confident in yourself. They are interested in young and talented individuals that can demonstrate that they will be valuable contributors to the team.
Other Details

Interviewed Jan 2010 in Springfield, VA (took a day)
Two person interview. Generally very respectful, the questions were fair, with a typical behavioral/traditional interview question setup. It lasted for about one hour and due to the type of work I was interviewing for I could not be told specifics about the job, which is understandable. They paid for my whole trip, which was very pleasant, and I thought it was a very generous offer for a relatively quick interview. Overall impressions are good, hopefully they will contact me soon. No offer received just yet.

Interviewed Aug 2009 in Woburn, MA (took a day)
Filled out a series of forms from a 3rd party HR outfit by the internet days before. Had a presentation about how wonderful the company is (about an hour), then had 4 one hour interviews.
Unfortunately the interviewers did not seem terribly interested in interviewing. It almost seemed as though HR had set this up to fulfill a requirement to interview some number candidates before they could select the person that they had already picked out.
They promised a response after a week or so, but after 3 weeks of nothing, even when I ask, I get the feeling its "Don't call us, we'll call you".
