Interviewed Feb 2011 in New York, NY (took 4 days)
Let me summarize the experience
1. Last day notice that there will be a presentation (absolutely no communication prior to this by the HR)
2. Interview room was absolutely suffocating. Both me and the interviewer were suffocating.
3. 4th interviewer goes missing - No show.. (very professional)
4. Presentation was not done (reason - There are not enough people in the office to attend it)
5. No call back for weeks until I called in.
Overall - I would not have worked at such a place.

Interviewed Nov 2011 (took 3 days)
Interviewed with one 4 members of two different teams over a few days which took about 3 hours each day. The HR department was very helpful in getting the interviews set up and keeping all of the conversations to schedule. While it was a long process, you could tell that Razorfish really seeks the best in the industry, so be prepared for a longer process to offer than you would at other agencies. After the interviews, I didn't receive an offer until almost a month later, so also be prepared to wait awhile for that vs. other agencies. Overall, if you are miserable in your position now and are only looking to make a move quickly, this is not the place for you. If you are looking for a great Digital shop that will no doubt set you up for success down the road, then it's worth the wait.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
The salary and benefits package offered was right where I needed it to be, so I didn't need to negotiate there. If they really want you, Razorfish will do what they can to try and get you.
Other Details
I got the interview through a Recruiter.

Interviewed Nov 2011 in New York, NY (took 1 week)
Make sure you ask what kind of clients or industry they are interviewing for so you can better tailor your experience to their needs. If they need more agency, or in-house, or writing or analytics be sure to ask that too so you can bring in experiences you haven't put in your resume or mentioned before.

Interviewed Nov 2011 in Austin, TX (took 2 weeks)
I applied for the position online. Then the lady from HR called me and we had a short phone conversation I would say about 5-10 min at the most. We set up a day for me to come in to have an in person interview. She e-mailed me with the details. I was going to interview with 4 people, 2 at a time.
The in person interview was awesome. The office was great it was downtown Austin. The ladies that I meet with were friendly and the overall interview was personable instead of being uptight as some other interviews I have been on. After the in person interview they called me a couple days later to ask for references. I e-mailed them to her and then she called the next week to say that I didn't get the job. The were looking for someone with more executive assistant experience. I just have three years of administrative assistant.

Interviewed Oct 2011 (took a day)
The Interview was very informal and did not seem to touch important competencies required for the job. Just seemed like the interviewer did not give the required attention to the conversation. Be prepared with a lot of questions if you interview with this agency.

Interviewed Oct 2011 in Seattle, WA (took a day)
I was originally found online via a staffing agency, which then passed on my information to recruiting at Razorfish. I was then contacted by a recruiter to set up a phone interview with someone in the social media department. The interview eventually happened after a few days and was a pleasant experience.

Interviewed Jan 2011 in San Francisco, CA (took a day)
I was contacted by the recruiter from the Seattle office since recruiting is handled there. Total mystery even though SF is substantial. I had a phone screening that went really well, and that led to my on-site meeting with at least 6 team members ranging from Managing Director, Senior Account Directors, Project Managers, etc. The whole interview took almost 4 hours. The people were awesome, but sounded they were looking for people with more digital experience and they weren't convinced I had enough knowledge since I had more traditional than digital, even though I was most recently at an all digital shop. No hard feelings though. The recruiter assured I was qualified and invited me to apply to any future listings. Maybe it boiled down to personality match. I was not that upset about it because the SF office has a lot of tech clients, which is not that interesting to me anyway.
