Interviewed Oct 2010 (took 2 days)
Got this interview through a university career fair. First was an informal 1-1 interview; next day 1-1 formal interview consisting of nearly all behavioral questions, fairly straightforward. After receivign an offer, I had a final "interview" to determine location and position palcement. All in all a good experience. Offers mostly based on personality and perception of intelligence.

It was a very short and very rigid interview, while it may have been a phone interview I found no opening to let myself shine. very uncomfortable

Interviewed Mar 2011 (took 2 weeks)
Very quick from beginning to end. Applied online through their corporate site which led to a phone interview followed by a trip to one of their business units for an in person interview.
In person interview consisted of 3, 30 minute interviews with varying levels of employees up to the Vice-President, followed by lunch with a past program participant.
Got an offer within 3 days of on site interview.

Interviewed Sep 2011 (took 4+ weeks)
I talked to a recruiter at my university's career fair. He invited me to interview the next day. I met with two individuals who started the interview off by letting me "take the wheel". I had to run the interview by asking questions. Then we talked about me and my qualifications. Pretty straight forward.

Interviewed Sep 2011 in Austin, TX (took 3 days)
Met some recruiters at a career fair at my University and was asked to come interview a few days later on campus. Some interviews I saw had 2 people, mine only had one. Wasn't too nerve racking or anything the people were nice. Mainly discussed my experience in the industry.
I would advise having a top 5 of the preferred work locations/companies and knowing a handful of knowledge on them.
My perception of the people is that they are a rather boring bunch. Very corporate feel to them they didn't really crack jokes or smile too much. Other then that they seemed nice.

Interviewed Nov 2009 in Augusta, GA (took 2 months)
I had a phone interview that took around 20 minutes. The usual questions, behaivoral centered around "Tell me a time when...." A month or two later I got a call for an on-site interview at EZ-GO in Augusta. The interview was very laid back and enjoyable. The questions centered more around your interest in entering the program than trying to prove yourself. It was four 1:1 interviews with the VP of Supply Chain, HR manager, Environmental Manager, and Material Manager I believe.

Negotiation Details
I did not try to negotiate, I was happy with the proposed salary and did not want to start on bad terms. I believe there is a set salary for each function in the program and you cannot negotiate.

Interviewed Jan 2009 (took 1 week)
Worked through a third party recruiter. Originally talked to hiring manager over the phone, and then invited to interview onsite with hiring manager and his director. The bosses were excited and wanted to get me in right away, but Human Resources dragged out the process and slowed things down signficantly.

Interviewed Feb 2011 (took a day)
The first interview is 1:1 and in the morning. They reconvene after lunch and after narrowing down the interviewees. The second round is in the afternoon and is a 1:2 interview. Both Interviews last around 30 minutes and are mostly behavioral questions such as walk me through your resume, or tell me about yourself.

Interviewed Jan 2011 (took a day)
Textron's interview process is very straight forward and not at all difficult. I went through two rounds in the same day. The first was a one on one interview and the second interview consisted of two other people. Both interviews asked the exact same behavioral questions. They clearly were just seeing if you can fit well within the company and trust that you have the basic skills necessary to complete your job.
