Interviewed Jan 2010 in Chicago, IL (took 4+ weeks)
pre interview with human resources usually run through overview of position, have you take a personality test, meet with direct manager and assistant manager (usually a 2:1 interview) then meet with next level up manager (eg RVP) for 1:1 to gain his/her feedback. If this goes well it is usually a formality that you are a good fit and job will be offered. Process is rather long and if right job not open but they like you they truly will keep you in their pipeline and tell you so. I was interviewed initially in September but was their 2nd choice candidate got called back in April of following year.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
they will tell you no real room to negotiate, ask for bigger sign on bonus as they can usually work more with that than the salary itself

Interviewed Nov 2011 in San Francisco, CA (took a day)
I posted my resume and answered the questions on the website. Someone called me a few days later to schedule a phone interview. I was asked the following questions:
Describe a time your communication skills helped or hindered you?
Tell me about a time you had to deal with change or a setback? How did u handle it?
How much is your current salary?
Then I was told I would receive an email with a password to take the skills test. It was word problems, grammar and situational questions.

Interviewed Apr 2010 (took 6+ weeks)
I was an internal candidate and was approached by the hiring manager about the open position. I wasn’t aware of the position until he notified me. I felt like a preferred candidate, but didn’t want to assume anything. I applied for the position and had an informal meeting with the hiring manager to learn more about the position. After our meeting, I received a phone call from human resources. They interviewed me via phone for about 15 minutes and said a formal interview would be scheduled soon. The formal interview was with the hiring manager and another manager. The entire process took about 6 weeks – that seems to be the norm. After the formal interview, I had another informal meeting with the hiring manager to further discuss the position. I was offered the position shortly after and accepted.

Interviewed May 2009 (took a day)
First interview took place on campus, about 30 minutes. Next I completed a personality and basic math test online, both were very simple. I then went to the corporate office and had an interview day that consisted of about 4 1-1 interviews and a group case.

Interviewed Sep 2011 (took a day)
For the interview we had to sort of do a "speed dating," interview process. There were 6 interviewers and 6 interviewees and we switched every 20 minutes to mix it up and meet another person to be interviewed by. We then had to do a quick case study and presentation to the interviewers

Interviewed Aug 2011 in San Antonio, TX (took 2 weeks)
So, my brother-in-law has a friend that works for The Hartford, so I sent him my resume and a recruiter with The Hartford got back to me within a week. She asked me a few general questions about my current employment status and why I was giving consideration to The Hartford. She then scheduled for me to take an assessment the following week at the San Antonio offices. The assessment, or skills test, took me roughly an hour and a half to complete. It consisted of personality questions, situational questions, how your peers or bosses would assess you, and a few statistics questions. Nothing too difficult. After the test, an HR rep informed me that my recruiter would get back to me by the end of the week (I took the assessment on a Tuesday).
I didn't hear back from the recruiter by the end of the week. I didn't hear back from her until the following week. We scheduled to do a phone interview that Friday. For this interview, she asked me situational questions (i.e., what would you do if...) and specific questions about my work experience. For example, she asked, "Give an example of a time in which you demonstrated influence and leadership" and "Tell me about a time in which you dealt with a difficult colleague..." This all lasted about 20-30 minutes. She said that I "sold myself well" and that she would recommend me for a face to face interview with, presumably, a hiring manager at the San Antonio offices. She told me she'd get back to me the following Monday.
Monday came and went with no phone call. By Wednesday, I gave the recruiter a call. She told me that she hadn't heard back from a few of the managers that she had spoken to regarding my application but would get back to me when she did. Fifteen minutes later, she notified me that these managers got back to her and that they were looking for someone with more experience. If you ask me, it sounds like she was looking for a way to politely brush me off and didn't even recommend me to any of the mangers. If you're a recruiter within the company, this is probably pretty common.

Interviewed Aug 2011 (took 1 week)
I applied and was called very soon after for a phone interview, which went well. I was then asked to come in for an in person interview the following week. The in person interview was with two managers and it went extremely well. I was then called back with an offer about two days later.
