Interviewed Jun 2008 in New York, NY (took 3 days)
Day one was the one on one interview, this is the first step. Here the hiring manager just gets a feel for your personality and skills set.
He then had to pass my information on to my would be manager. The person who would be managing me and responsible if I fouled up an assignment or whatever. I was told by the hiring manager that he knows I could do the job, but he needs to convince the manager and that I needed to sell myself some more,to convince her which I did.
This was done on the second day of interviews where I was given a verbal personality test of sorts and questioned on how I would handle various difficult personalities.
The third day of interview was by my direct managers boss. He was the one who would presumably be held personably responsible if something untoward happened, so I was again informed that i would need to handle difficult personalities and have a thick skin.
I Don't know why they couldn't do all three interviews on one day but whatevs.

Negotiation Details
There is no negotiation at S&C they tell you what's available salarywise and you take it. There was always ample opportunity for OT anyway because they are more than willing to give you your vacation time when it was requested. I am rating the interview experience as negative only because it could all have been done in one long day instead of 3 separate hour long interviews.
Other Details
The interview consisted of a Phone Interview, a 1:1 Interview, a Personality Test and a Drug Test.

Interviewed May 2010 in Los Angeles, CA (took a day)
The interview was extremely informal, most likely because I interviewed in the NYC office with a senior litigation paralegal from the LA office. Although at the time I felt extremely positive about the interview, in retrospect having not received a job offer I feel that only being able to meet with one person from the LA office due to geographical constraints was a huge drawback for me and did not allow me to gain alot of insight into firm culture.

Interviewed Sep 2009 (took 2 days)
The Sullivan and Cromwell interview process is fairly standard for Big Law firms. The on-campus interviews are twenty minutes and the three or four in-office interviews last about 30 minutes each. The interviews are not very substantive. Sullivan and Cromwell seems to care about grades more than almost anything else.
