Interviewed Oct 2011 in Hartford, CT (took 2+ weeks)
There was a phone interview with the recruiter, and then they followed up two weeks later with a full day of interviews with 5 different groups or individuals including one at lunch. The first was with two technical people who quizzed me on some SQL. Then there were meetings with the Dept. Head, my new manager, and managers from areas I'd be working with.
In general the questions weren't difficult, but it was a long process. I realized half-way through that they wanted much more SAS experience than I had - though I never represented myself as a SAS expert in my resume or in the phone interview. So I was disappointed as I knew it was going to be a waste of a day.

Interviewed Feb 2012 in Hartford, CT (took a day)
It's a very funny way how my resume got to them. My fiance worked there as a summer intern. I guess his performance there ways very satisfactory, so his boss must have said something really nice about him. So the company wants to recruit my fiance as a full time worker. And during the time of communication and negotiation about getting back to the company for full time, my fiance let the HR know that I am actually also looking for a job, and my knowledge/skill background is somewhat similar to his. So HR turns out to be interested in me, and asked my fiance to send my resume. Then half a month later, I got a phone interview of 30 minutes. They asked my education background and standard questions (critical thinking and those knowledge-based ones). Then roughly a week later, they asked me to have an on-site interview.
Negotiation Details
They are really nice, I just can tell that they want to show that they care about your situation and needs.

Interviewed Dec 2011 in Hartford, CT (took 5+ weeks)
1 - Applied online
2 - Received call from recruiter 16 days later to schedule phone interview for the following day
3 - Phone interview with recruiter, was 20 minutes late for the scheduled call, was very fast paced with the questions and seemingly wanted more personal details than professional experience details at one point (which was simply put - uncalled for and unprofessional especially this early in the process let alone at all). At the end (after about 45 minutes), was told I was being forwarded on to the hiring manager of which I would hear back within 1-2 weeks regarding next steps as there is only a weekly checkpoint with the hiring manager to get approval on who they are interested in moving forward with.
4 - Despite my follow-up inquiries, I didn't hear anything until 3 weeks later that they were moving forward with other candidates. If there is one thing to say at this point, the rejection was a personal e-mail versus automated form rejection message...

Interviewed Jan 2012 in Windsor Locks, CT (took 4 weeks)
Started off applying online then received a phone call a few days later asking to set up a 15 minute phone interview. This phone interview was fairly easy first describing what the job entails and asking basic questions like: tell me about yourself, what did you like/dislike about previous employer, what computer programs do you have experience with, and why Travelers...At the end of the interview i was asked to set up a day to go in for a 4 hour skills test. The first part of the test was a 5 minute typing test, making sure you can type at least 35 words per minute. However, it wasn't a standard paragraph and sentence typing, it was data entry, such as people's names and addresses. Still fairly easy. If you failed this part they send you home, if you pass you go on to take the 5 parts knowledge test. This test was really easy as many of the questions they provided the background policy information in the example and you have to decide what the outcome would be. Other questions included finding typos, basic math, and writing skills.
I passed everything on the test and was called the following day to set up an in-person interview. I showed up a week later and interviewed with two people at the same time. They alternated asking me questions and it lasted over an hour. I think it went very well as afterwards they went into the hallway and came back ten minutes later saying they wanted me to also interview with their boss at that time. Obviously I agreed and the boss came in several minutes later. This part was much quicker, about 30 minutes and was also quite easy. This was the finals step in the process as they told me I'd hear back within two weeks of that interview with an offer or not. It's been 1 week and I believe they were going to stop interviewing people today, so any day now I'm hoping for the call to get 1 of the 12 open positions they're hiring!

Interviewed Jun 2011 in Hartford, CT (took a day)
The interview consisted of three separate one-on-one interactions, which lasted maybe 30 minutes each. The position was entry-level, so the questions were very standard-- what would you describe yourself as, why do you want this job, etc. There were some behavioral questions asked; for example, do you prefer to work in teams or individually, how do you handle certain situations, etc. In general, it was a relaxed environment with friendly people.

Interviewed May 2011 in Hartford, CT (took 2 weeks)
It started with a phone interview just asking me about my resume and skills that may match the description of the job I applied for. Now I have to go in front of a panel of 5 for an in-person interview. But before the 5 person panel, I have a one on one interview with someone for 15 minutes. So far everyone has seemed really nice and I have no complaints in the interview process. The upmost professionalism has been exuded.
