Interviewed Oct 2011 in Boston, MA (took 2+ weeks)
Personality. Asked some good questions, some random ones. The HR person seemed uninterested and too concerned with typing. A very slow typer so there was a lot of silence while I heard him typing in the background.

Interviewed Aug 2009 in Boston, MA (took a day)
Initially contacted by Talent Acquisition group based upon employee referral. Initial 30 minute interview with Talent Acquisition rep consisted of a brief review of the organizational structure and an overview of benefits. Proceeded to interview with hiring manager, which lasted about 30 minutes. General questions were asked. Hiring manager was comfortable with my background based upon referral from another employee. Interviewed with Department Head and two other members of department. Standard interview questions asked, including "So why are you the right person for the job?".

Interviewed May 2011 in Boston, MA (took a day)
HR called me in for an interview, and it turned out to be three 30 min interviews with managers/directors from three different sectors. They each introduced their departments and products and it was more of a fit interview. They asked some technical questions but mostly just to see what you know, although there were some odd ones like "Would you rather have a sailboat or motorboat and what would you name it?"

Interviewed Jun 2011 in Boston, MA (took 4 days)
Very straightforward process but the HR is slow to reply. The process started with a phone interview which was scheduled promptly and I was selected for the onsite interview the next day. But here's when the frustrating process started no response from HR for the next 25 days to schedule an interview. Once they scheduled the interview and I did the 1:1 interview, they gave me a verbal offer the same day but it took another 18 days for HR to email me a written offer and still a start date was not decided.
Interview Questions
Reason for Declining
Sluggish HR performance, no information provided days after I got the offer.

Interviewed Jun 2011 in Boston, MA (took 2 weeks)
The Interview questions consisted more about the personality and how I'd fit it with the team rather than focusing on the Job Skills. The HR set me up for interview with 3 different person on the same day. The Manager, the Senior Consultant and the Recruiter herself. The Hiring Manager spend more time on describing the position itself rather than asking me questions.

Interviewed Apr 2011 in Boston, MA (took a day)
New business opportunity generated several new positions. Very friendly and the head of the team conducted the interview. Relaxed yet a definite information sharing session. Come with your industry knowledge at your finger-tips, don't expect to just fluff it. Entry level positions used to include full training but no longer. This is the major sticking point with folks arriving on the floor - no consistency with the hiring process and it is either feast or famine. Perhaps laying off half the HR Department wasn't such a good move several years ago.
Interview Questions
Reason for Declining
The interview was for a position that I was unqualified for. They would have hired me but I knew it wasn't right so pulled self from contention.
Other Details
The interview consisted of a 1:1 Interview.
