Interviewed Jan 2011 in Chicago, IL (took a day)
I first received an email notifying me that they would like to call me for a phone interview. During the phone interview I was asked a couple open ended behavioral questions and two math questions. A couple weeks after the phone interview I received an email inviting me to come in for a face to face interview with four Starcom employees with varying levels of experience and titles including an associate media director and media director. After the interview I waiting a few weeks and received word that they had not made a final decision yet but I was still being considered for the position. Two weeks later I received a phone call from an HR associate notifying me of the employment offer which I accepted.

Interviewed Aug 2009 in Chicago, IL (took 4+ weeks)
The first interview was a phone interview which lasted about 20 minutes. They asked all of the basic interview questions you would think of, plus a few basic math questions.
I was notified to come into the office for a second interview about 2 weeks later. It lasted about 4 hours plus a lunch, and I met with 4 different interviewers. Everyone was very friendly, but the interview questions were unremarkable and didn't reflect at all on the position (eg "Tell me about a time you had to solve a problem", "Tell me about a time where you worked as part of a team" etc.)

Negotiation Details
There is no negotiation in pay, as SMG has a set pay scale on each of the positions.

Interviewed Oct 2010 in Chicago, IL (took 3+ weeks)
Walked through your resume and discussed your interest in the vertical you would be working on. They did not put a lot of emphasis on your professional skills. Instead, they looked into your passion and initiative for the work. They deemed training as their responsibility. The office environment was very cozy and open.

The salary is firm. Be prepared to budget your living expense in the first few years, the staring salaries are extremely low.

Interviewed Nov 2007 in Chicago, IL (took 4+ weeks)
It is multiple people mostly supervisors that are each trying to find out something about you. So one is focused on math skills, another is focused on how well you know the industry, another is focused on problem solving, and so on. Mainly it is a long day with really obvious questions.
I do remember they asked what campaign did I dislike, and why.
