Interviewed Mar 2010 (took 1 week)
phone interview with basic questions regarding previous jobs. then a panel of 2 people face to face, mostly behavior questions. there was also a few questions where they tell you a scenario and then you talk back and forth with one of the interviewers and play out the call. it was not a intimadating experience.

Interviewed Oct 2009 in Winnipeg, MB (Canada) (took 3 weeks)
My interview was actually in 2008 but the site wouldn't let me go that far back. I don't remember if I had a phone interview but I know that sometimes your first interview can be over the phone. There are 3 interviews, the first is usually with a supervisor, the second with a different supervisor or two supervisors and the third is with the department manager (and) a supervisor.
It took them a while to get back to me in between each interview as well as after the third interview to offer me the job, I think it was because they were starting a new sales team at the time and i ended up being the first person hired for that team.

Interviewed Sep 2008 (took 4+ weeks)
Interview process was lengthy - met 3 individual times, going up the ladder until the last one was with 3 people, two managers and one director. Thought this was very intensive for an entry-level position. Took over 1 month to complete the process and get an offer, then another 2 weeks before the start date. Communication was not consistent from company, but I guess this has to be expected when you're an interview candidate. The interviews were fair, smart, and the people I met were very nice.

Negotiation Details
I did not negotiate as the offer seemed reasonable. May have been opportunity to negotiate but for an entry-level position I doubt they would consider it.
Other Details
I got the interview through an Employee Referral and the interview consisted of a 1:1 Interview and a Group/Panel Interview.

Interviewed Aug 2010 (took 1 week)
Applied online, and got a call from human resource about 4 weeks later, asking for a telephone interview the next day with human resource. The telephone interview with human resource lasted for about an hour, I was asked a lot behavior questions like what other people would not call you. The human resource person asked for my salary expectation.
Then the next day, received an email from human resource and scheduled an interview with the department manager on the next Friday.
The one to one interview with the department manager lasted for an hour too. The manager asked a lot of technical questions, he also asked for the salary expectation.

Interviewed Apr 2010 in Calgary, AB (Canada) (took 5 days)
I applied to a number of jobs online through the company web site. Within about 1-2 weeks I had a voice message from an HR person. When I returned the call, the HR person immediately started asking me questions on the phone and doing an interview even without asking me if it was okay or even trying to schedule it. I would say the interview on the phone went very well but the interviewer was more interested in me knowing the company culture than the more than 20 years of experience (including 12 years in wireless) that I can bring to the company. I was told that someone would be calling me for a face to face interview but have not heard anything yet..........its been over one week now. I say the best of luck to Shaw in trying to build a wireless network.

Interviewed Oct 2009 in Calgary, AB (Canada) (took 5 days)
Panel interview via conference call. Admin assistant scheduled interview in a few days. Interview facilitators appeared to be inexperienced, distracted, and underprepared. Surprisingly vague questions considering the technical aspects of the position in question. Final question was "what do you know about Shaw?". HR was not represented at the interview. Facilitators were unable to answer any policy related questions. Hiring manager did not participate in interview (though he or she may have listened in). Be prepared for a panel interview format, mediocre facilitation, and inconsistent questions.
