Reason for Declining
The offer was very less than what i expected. I didn't negotiate. I got a better offer on the same day and so decided to pursue with a different employer.

Initialy interviewed for the position nine months prior to being hired. Had 4 interviews and I was told that I did not get the job. They called me back eight months later and I was told I did not have the correct background for the job ( Idid not have an accounting background) even though it was for a technical position and I had twenty five years of writting accounting software. They then made an offer.

Interviewed Apr 2011 in New York, NY (took 4+ weeks)
Met them at my college career fair, I have a pretty lengthy work experience background in accounting and finance for a college student so I figured it would be a good possibility I could land an interview. Got invited for an interview a couple of weeks later for 1st rounds. Met with the HR hiring manager, and two managers. I thought since it was the 1st interview it would be a breeze. Both managers were clearly not messing around and wanted to get straight to the point and hit me with some challenging questions about my background, like why did I leave this place so quickly, etc. Mostly talked about my work experience and how it would translate over to this industry. Wasn't sure how it went to be honest because I couldn't get a positive or negative vibe from. Eventually a week or so later was invited in for a second interview, met with VP who i expected to get grilled by, ended up going very smoothly instead. Got offered a couple of days later. I'll be honest reading all these other reviews before I was pretty worried about who I was getting involved with, but most of my experience was nothing like the ones ive read here. They were very straightforward with me the entire way, even questioned some negatives that I had, which is understandable. I'd rather have it straight then beat around the bush.

Negotiation Details
Not really, entry-level is probably not a good idea to negotiate. I gave a salary range I wanted and they met me in the middle.
Other Details
I got the interview through a College or University and the interview consisted of a 1:1 Interview, a Group/Panel Interview and a Background Check.

Interviewed Sep 2009 in New York, NY (took 2 weeks)
1 Phone, 2 onsite interviews w/ Sr Manager/Director, then the COO/Managing Director. Office is a dump and questions are mix of techical/small talk. COO is clueless and interviews like she has a chip on her shoulder. MD will focus on low balling on salary.
Negotiation Details
Negotiated salary up because I had a competing offer that was $8k higher. Accepting should be a last resort. Horrible communication, no real training, lazy coworkers, disorganized management, nasty environment, cheap and no technology support (sad that this is a technology co.). Don' make the same mistake as me, run for your life and save your career...

Interviewed Nov 2010 in Cranford, NJ (took 2 days)
I applied online through the company website. I received a call (in September) from the HR recruiter within a few days and she had a phone interview with me which consisted of basic questions and my desired salary. She determined I was qualified for the position and scheduled an interview a week later (October).
I went to the interview and arrived 20 minutes early. Upon being in the waiting area with no receptionist, I waited in total about 50 minutes to be seen by the first of three interviewers. All three were social interviews about the position, the company, the work flow, etc... I'd say the interviews went well.
I contacted the recruiter and indicated the interviews went well and thanked her. She said she would follow up within a few days. Well, the rest of October went by until I emailed her around November 1st. She didn't reply back so I called her and finally got her on the phone. She stated they were still considering the candidates.
The Friday before Thanksgiving I received a call from the same recruiter stating they wanted to bring me in for the final interview with Sr. Accountant and Controller so the following Tuesday I interviewed with both and, again, felt the interviews went well as I complimented on my background by both senior managers.
I hadn't heard from the recruiter or received any emails back from any of the thank you emails I sent so I called the recruiter a few days for New Years Eve and asked about my status. She replied, "there still interviewing, but I am in contention".
I never received any calls or emails from the recruiter through most of January when finally the recruiter responded to my email a few days before February 1st. She indicated the company had decided not to pursue the search for a candidate for this position.
