Interviewed Nov 2009 (took a day)
Interview process standard, didn't discuss current experience as much as past experience. People seemed to be professional at time of interview. Enjoyed the conversational aspect of interview. It all seemed like a formality and not a REAL interview. Seemed like I was already going to be hired and just awaiting a start date.

Interviewed Mar 2008 in Kenilworth, NJ (took a day)
On the day of the on-site interview I was brought in with 3 other candidates. We had a round-robin type interview where 4 people from the company took turns interviewing us 1:1. 3 interviewers were managers in the department that was hiring. The last person was from HR. They all seemed open and friendly. There were some case questions and behavioral questions, but nothing too difficult.
