Interviewed Apr 2009 in Stanford, CA (took 2 months)
First, there was a written application. This was fairly extensive and contained about four essay questions. Questions pertained to knowledge of the school, personal integrity, creativity, etc. Next, there was a group interview. In this interview, former tour guides asked us questions that they commonly receive on tours. Next, there was an individual interview/presentation with the managers.

Interviewed Jun 2010 (took 4 weeks)
Initial telephone interview covered essential skills and relevant experience. In-person interview included tour of facilities, skills tests, discussion of problem solving, and meeting with several people in the working group, including the primary supervisor. Discussions covered the goals of the work place, the work place environment, financial stability of the work place, commuting options, range of compensation, flexible working hours, and other benefits.

Interviewed Nov 2009 (took 3 weeks)
I submitted an online application and received an initial interview, during which time I was told I was the lead candidate, with just one other in consideration, and that there would be a second interview. I submitted examples of my work in the interim and waited for my second interview, which never happened. They ended up hiring someone less-qualified, who has required much more training. They also asked to go outside my list of references, even though I asked them not to, and "outed" me to my manager, informing them that I was job hunting, which has put me in an awkward position.

Interviewed Jun 2008 (took 3 weeks)
It was a very low stress process, however this is very specific to the area of the school I work in (and those I now work under). There was pressure on their end to hire someone and the process was quick. I had a short phone interview that led to an in person interview, 1:1 with 2 separate supervisors. It was a casual discussion about abilities, interests, and needs.

Negotiation Details
Essentially the position was offered as a non-negotiable salary due to budget constraints. I have found out that the employee I replaced was payed significantly more. I have not, and do not intend to, push on this front.
