Interviewed Dec 2011 (took 4+ weeks)
It all started with an online application. A week or two later I heard back from them asking if I would like to schedule a phone interview. After the phone interview you then have to schedule to take a 3 to 4 hour IQ test which basically goes over your writing, analytical, math, and comprehension skills. If you pass the test you then meet with a panel of managers and peers. If that goes well they'll call you back in to meet with some higher level managers as a final evaluation.

Negotiation Details
Negotiation was pretty non-existent. Which was fine by me since the amount they offered was a lot more than I expected.
Other Details
I Applied Online and the interview consisted of a Phone Interview, a 1:1 Interview, a Group/Panel Interview, an IQ/Intelligence Test, a Drug Test and a Background Check.

Interviewed Nov 2011 in Alpharetta, GA (took 2 weeks)
Recruiter called me to ask some basic questions and let me know if they were interested that someone would contact me from HR. Several days later I was sent an email for an appointment/interview in Alpharetta, GA a few days later. If you pass the seven part skills assessment your given a personality profile and then scheduled for an interview, in my case two, which both were about :45-1:00. Afterwards they said they would have roundtable discussons on all the candidates and follow up. That's been 4-5 weeks and nothing since!

Interviewed Dec 2010 in Wyomissing, PA (took 3 weeks)
I was initially contacted to set up a phone interview. The following week I was interviewed over the phone and that lasted for an hour. It was mainly set up with questions like "name a time when you..." "name a time when there was a problem and you fixed it" those sort of situational questions. We discussed my background etc. I was then contacted to come to an onsite interview where I was interviewed again by the same person as well as another person within that group. Similar questions were asked and that was it. Two weeks later I was EMAILED that I did not get the position...thanks!

Interviewed Nov 2011 in Charlotte, NC (took 2 weeks)
So far I have only had a phone interview which lasted approximately 1 hour. It seemed that everything went well and few days later a woman called and scheduled testing for Dec. 9th. Right now I'm trying to find sample testing to prepare. I'm find it quite difficult to find specific information. I feel quite comfortable with my math and typing skills, however, it would be nice to have sample questions with which to prepare.

Interviewed Jul 2009 in Denver, CO (took 2+ weeks)
The interview process started with a phone interview. Questions were quite standard. It was followed by a very casual interview with the person who would become my manager. Again, questions were quite standard and revolved around goals, personality traits, ways of handling situations, strengths, weaknesses, etc. This was a nice interview, very friendly and I left feeling like a friend of the manager. A few weeks later, I did a small group interview with the manager, and a few district representatives. Alot of the same questions were asked but they gave many situations that were more difficult to assess and answer. I left feeling like I totally bombed this part of the interview, but received a call with the job offer a few days later.

Interviewed Sep 2011 in Washington, DC (took 3 days)
So I went to a career fair to meet with these people and I made a good impression there and they asked me to fill out their online application. I already had and a day or two later someone from out of state called to set up a phone screen for a week later. The phone screen was an overview of the position and some questions about my resume. I think this was mostly to make sure I knew what I was applying for the position is somewhat rigorous with some non traditional hours and travel. I was well aware and communicated that over the phone. After that I was contacted for a skills test/IQ test at their area office. The test consisted of pattern recognition, geometry, spatial recognition, and interpreting policies. The last bit they had you edit an excel spreadsheet and compose a letter to an angry customer to whom a claim was denied. The test wast timed so there was some pressure there and I didn't get to the last one or two questions on a few of the sections. They give you the formulas for the math in the test, but make sure you know them before going because going back to look up a formula will waste a ton of time. I wasn't sure on a section or two, but apparently I did alright and I was invited back a week later for an interview with two people. It was a behavioral interview that focuses on ethics, difficult situations, and problem solving. I was just out of school and I didn't have too much to go on in terms of actual ethical dilemmas. There was very little flow to the conversation because they read from a packet of HR sanitized questions and wrote down my answers. There was pressure to be short with my answers so I didn't feel like I got a chance to explain very much. The second part of the interview had me talking to one of the reps. He was a six year veteran and he seemed to be someone most people in the office looked to for guidance. He went over the details of his daily routine and talked about the things on his list and he answered my questions told a story or two and showed me out. I waited two weeks to hear back then called to confirm my suspicions and received no response to my message. I took another offer and that was that.

Interviewed Oct 2011 in Richmond, VA (took 3 days)
I don't know what to think exactly. I got an e-mail back very quickly to schedule a phone interview. I appeared to fit the desired background criteria and the initial phone interview seemingly went well but it has been about a month with no feedback of any kind.

Interviewed Nov 2011 (took 2 days)
The interview lasted 45 minutes. I was very prepared. I had researched the company in detail.
The conversation was candid, but professional.
I suggest for phone interviews to know every detail of any and all transferable skills and focus on those.
The questions were very technical. It was more focused on the skills than whether or not I would be a good fit in the organization.

Interviewed Nov 2011 in Louisville, KY (took 2 weeks)
So far I was contacted by a representative to set up a phone interview and contacted promptly at the time specified. The phone interview did not last too long, approximately 15 minutes and then I was scheduled to take an exam a week later. Not a very difficult test at all. Basic match, perception, cognitive ability...I was contacted the very next morning saying I did well and scheduled for a 2 member interview next week.
