Interviewed Dec 2011 (took 2 weeks)
After 2 separate interviews, there was no more communication. They didn't let me know that they had chosen another candidate. Pretty unprofessional.

Interviewed Jan 2009 (took 2 weeks)
An outside recruiter found me for the position as I have never heard of this company and their internal HR is not that sharp. I spoke to this outside recruiter several times cumulatively for about 3 hours. She understood my background and resume and sent me on to interview. The first interview was a phone interview with two high-ups. Both were no nonsense. No trick questions. They asked questions to understand my background. Moved on the final interview which was my future boss and another key player for a panel interview. Again, the interview was no nonsense. No behavioral questions. The people I interviewed with were straight-shooters who tell it like it is. You have to respect that. It is refreshing to find that in a corporate environment. I accepted the position.

There was no negotiation. It was a take it or leave it situation. No negotiating vacation. The company offers a mere 2 weeks and would not recognize my prior years vacation earned.
Other Details

Interviewed May 2011 (took 1+ week)
During my first interview, I realized that the people at this division had the same values and beliefs in honest work that i had.
Don't always believe what other competition is saying, most of the time it's wrong

Interviewed Jul 2011 in Plymouth, MN (took a day)
Slow to respond but quick to decide. I applied online and it was several weeks before I got a call back, but was brought in for an interview. Panel interview with HR and two directors. Very casual questions typical of most interviews. I thought the interview went very well but I never received communication from them again other than a form email that the position had been closed.

Interviewed Sep 2011 in Livermore, CA (took a day)
Initially called by a person who did not identify their role in the company to set up an interview. Scheduled the interview. The day before the interview, the same individual called back to postpone the interview. Arrived on the scheduled postponed date and spoke to the individual who stated that another party was supposed to be part of the interview and the decision making process but could not make it. The very poorly constructed and rather unprofessional interview process was not even held in an office setting, consisting of the interviewer (Still not introducing themselves, or their role in the company) reading off of a sheet with the standard questions, and neglecting to note pertinent responses. Interviewer was unengaging, unreceptive, and unresponsive to my very detailed and well articulated responses to the questions, not to mention my considerable applicable skills and experience for the position. Interviewer failed to provide sufficient details of what the actual job entailed or related details, and continued to ask repeatedly if I had any questions after being unreceptive throughout the interview process. Very stoic attitude as though the decision had been made early on in the interview which, for some reason, was allowed to go on for in excess of one hour. Received an impersonal decline email less than 18 hours after the interview after being informed that I would hear at the end of the week, which was in five days. The interviewer did not even have the courtesy to make a decision prior to the the two remaining interviews that were to be conducted the following day. Overall experience of this interview and the person conducting it: Unprofessional, unprepared, impersonal, poorly conducted and managed, and the interviewer, in what I'm assuming was a management role, was ill-equipped to make the correct decisions and is a poor representative of the company.

Interviewed Jun 2010 (took 2 days)
The interview consisted of 200+ applicants jammed into 2 large conferance halls. Every upper level manager in the division then interviewed everyone. If you survived the first interview, you moved on to the next interviewer, if you did not, you were shown the door. It was like a "employment speed dating". Extrememely efficient and well planned out. I made it through the process, and received a call the next day letting me know I got the job.
I was asked very basic interview questions, discussing my past experience etc.

Negotiation Details
No negotiation. Everyone they hire off the street gets the same compensation package. If you work for a competitor and want to join the company, you may have some negotiation points for mileage reimbursement etc.

Interviewed Aug 2011 in Rosemont, IL (took a day)
Was sent to wrong building, so was late. interview was with 1 technical lead who didn't seem to know how to conduct an interview. Almost no java questions. He gave me a laptop and asked me to solve a logic problem - it was on his final exam at college; Code a printout for this pattern, should work for any input int (ex: 5):
X000X
0X0X0
00X00
0X0X0
X000X
(I wasn't able to solve it).
Seemed to be a small onshore development team. I would not have taken the job if offered.

Interviewed Mar 2011 (took a day)
The interview was good, however once I set foot into the door and began to try to learn the job, I was like this is what I interviewed for things seemed very controversial. The hiring process was a waiting because the company was upgrading to data automation.

There was no negotiation, but I would state to others to actually ask questions to find if the job is really what he or she wants to establish a career.
