Interviewed Feb 2012 in Chicago, IL (took 3 weeks)
I received information on this position through a recruiter, phone interview was set up by the end of the next day. Very quick interview process compared to most companies (all in all 3 weeks from first contact to offer). Talent Acquisition contact was extremely pleasant to work with.

Interviewed Jan 2012 in Chicago, IL (took a day)
I applied via Indeed.com and they were very quick to respond to my application. I heard back from them within 2 weeks. It was a simple phone interview that lasted about 20 minutes. The interview consisted of behavioral questions. I was told the next round would be another in depth phone interview and if I passed that, the next one would be a site visit.

Interviewed Jun 2011 in Chicago, IL (took 3 months)
I am all for company's promoting from within, but if that is your intent don't waste my time for three months. I had a phone interview in May, was told I would get a call back a week later. I didn't get a call back for over a month. How on earth this company thinks you can answer 11 behavioral questions in a hour is joke. I use to be a recruiter and hiring manager, these types of interviews area easily OVER a hour. US Cellular wasted my time and I would never apply to work for them again. Screen internal candidates before you waste the time of people outside the company. My time is precious and the entire process was drawn out and very unprofessional.

Interviewed Apr 2010 in Chicago, IL (took 9 months)
They contacted me from CareerBuilder, then took 9 months to hire me. I had to create a profile, list everything I've done for seven years. Then, in the middle of the process, they told me that they changed their talent database, and I had to do ANOTHER profile, ANOTHER 70+ question "personality" test, and everything else. I interviewed for four positions, and was told I was being considered for a couple more. But after every single time, I had to contact the recruiter, and I usually got no response for a week after my followup. The responses I did get would be one line emails like, "Did the store manager not reach out to you?", or, "They decided to go with another candidate." In the case of the first one, it took an entire week for the recruiter to tell me that the hiring manager was on vacation. Then it took another week to be told that they had gone with someone else, and there was no further explanation given. After I left\ my last interview, I fully believed that I would be working at one particular store. I was told that this part was just more of a "meet and greet". They kept me waiting for two days, and then the recruiter called me after 6:30PM to tell me that they had hired someone else... but, would I consider yet another job? I took it out of pure desperation.
Negotiation Details
There is a little room, but in general, I feel that they take so long in the hiring process so that you feel lucky to have gotten the job. In my case, I just took what they offered because I needed something.
Other Details
I got the interview through a Recruiter and the interview consisted of a Phone Interview, a 1:1 Interview, a Personality Test, a Drug Test and a Background Check.

Interviewed Nov 2010 in Chicago, IL (took 2 weeks)
Applied online like everyone else. Got a call from a recruiter and they do a mini phone interview to hear what you have to say. Obviously you have to sound ethusiastic when your on the phone with them. Next step if you make it will be an interview with a time and date. Interview process is pretty much standard across the board. I didnt get a job offer, I flunked my interview because I was not prepared. Biggest tip for phone and 1:1 interviews. Have your answers prepared! Most companies use the STAR interview method, so get the most common questions asked and have an answer already prepared. This way the interview goes well instead of making up a quick story or being stuck on a question. Secondly, you have to remember that there are more people they are interviewing so you have to "stand out" from the rest and be "memorable". and lastly do your homework about the company. If you follow these 3 rules, you will get the job you want!

Interviewed Mar 2010 in Chicago, IL (took 5 days)
Referred by a recruiter. Very professional HR staff contacted me to make certain I understood the job and what it entailed. Required me to complete a list of 8-9 questions regarding my business philosophy and behavioral based questions.
Hiring manager was very sharp and asked pointed questions about management style, ability to respond to change. Seemed impressed I was familiar with the DO philosophy. Further probed to get an understanding of how much quantitiative experience (working w/ data etc.) I had.

Interviewed Apr 2010 in Bensenville, IL (took a day)
Received a phone interview from Human Resources. The interviewer was very professional and informative. She explained the position, responsibilities and company overview. She asked about my background and some pointed questions about my past job history and responsibilities. She listen and gave good feedback. In this case, she explained that they were looking for a different set of skills and went into detail on what they were looking for in a candidate. She was very positive and did not talk down to me. She explained which of my attributes she liked and that I would be a good fit for a different role which was currently not available. Overall even though I did not get the job I still felt positive about the interview.

Entry level position for an engineering-type position. Long phone interview with typical questions. Three in-person interviews at their Chicago corporate offices on the same day. Nothing out of the ordinary. I was there for maybe three hours. Did not get the job.
