Interviewed Apr 2010 in Skokie, IL (took a day)
When I was promoted to procurement, I had to apply for the position. I had two 30 minute interviews. One was with the Director. The other was with my superior. Because the director traveled often, I did not get the news about my acceptance until 1 month later(in May of 2009). Then, I started in June of 2009.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
There was no negotiation. In fact, I was told that my salary was below the average of others in my new position. This was because the company saw it as a 20% raise for me and not, a promotion. The amount was more than I have ever received on any job so, I didn't complain.
Other Details
The interview consisted of a 1:1 Interview.

Interviewed Jun 2011 in Skokie, IL (took 3 weeks)
Interesting interview process. I received a call from a friend who told me they were looking for outsiders to join the management ranks. Later the same week I was contacted and asked if I was interested in interviewing for the job. I interviewed with the hiring manager and another manager. Follow up interview the following week and then with HR VP. Offered and accepted the next week.

Interviewed Feb 2010 (took 3 days)
When I met with the hiring manager, he seemed very pleasant. His attire, however, was not what I expected from a supervisor; it didn't even reach business casual (think sweats). I understand wanting to project a relaxed attitude, but it immediately led me to believe there would be issues with professionalism at this office.
The interview seemed more like a session of small talk than pertinent information. Building rapport is one thing, spending ten minutes describing his family vacation is quite another. I felt let down by the lack of job-related discussion in this interview. What should have taken no more than thirty minutes ballooned into over an hour because of all the unrelated conversation. I had to take time from my current assigment to meet with this representative, so all that extra time cost me work-hours. Save the chatter, please.
