Interviewed Dec 2011 (took a day)
Great experience, very enjoyable. The only issue I had was that some of the interviewers seemed like they were afraid of talented people. HR was very nice though

Interviewed Nov 2010 (took 3 weeks)
I got a mail from th Sapient HR about a role suitable for me.I replied her back then I got a call from the HR.It was almost like telephonic interview she asked me a lot about Project Management, the fdifferent kind of roles I have worked.
Then another interview was scheduled where I was given a case study of a client requirement.
I had one hour to work out in the white board, my understanding of the project and project scope.
I had to draw up a project plan and a logical architecture diagram. Had to talk about the constraints,assumptions,risks. Basically I had to pitch for a project.
The interviewer mocked as the client and it was interesting. I enjoyed the whole process

Interviewed Jul 2009 in San Francisco, CA (took 1+ week)
Was contacted by Sapient recruiter re: a project manager position.
Interesting company:
- good values
- very client focussed
- successful and an good business model
Interview setup was a bit disjointed and interviewer was late (had to call him)
Good behavioral interview by a very professional client manager.
Given their tight business model, they are and remain price sensitive
and will naturally hire younger candidates (nothing wrong with that).
My recommendation:
- check their salary ranges first
- price yourself within their target range in the online application they will ask you to
fill in before the interview
- then have your interview
The ONLY goal of an interview is to keep the decision yours - not theirs.

Interviewed Sep 2007 (took a day)
On submission of resume the screening was done by Recruiter over phone. He asked basic questions like kind of projects & clients handled, challanges faced and willingness to travel & relocate. After 1 week I was called for face-to-face interview that included 3 sessions. First 30-45 min session was lated to personality and fitment to Sapient values - client focused delivery, creativity, leadership, openness, relationship and people growth and involved questions pertaining to my real life experiences from professional life on the core values. Second 60 min session was a project mgmt case study where I was given one page long case study to come-up with high level project plan (at week level), staffing plan, budget and identify project risks on a white board. The third 60 min session involved explaining how I came-up with project plan, estimates, staffing and mitigation for risks.

Negotiation Details
They low-balled the initial offer and I was able to get a small increase over the initial offer. However I could not get the expected salary since I had followed-up many times during the 3-4 week period after face-to-face interveiw and final offer and Sapient got a clear understanding that I am keen on joining.
Other Details
The interview consisted of a Phone Interview, a 1:1 Interview, a Presentation and a Personality Test.
