Interviewed Jun 2011 in Geneva (Switzerland) (took a day)
to ensure fairness for all interviewees, interviews are done over the phone
interviews last about 45 min
they are Competency Based interviews, not technical, so you need to train for this technique, i.e. have you CAR (context, actions, results) stories ready
questions on team work are almost always included

Interviewed Jun 2010 in New York, NY (took a day)
I did an internship with the UNDP and kept in touch with some of my colleagues. Eventually a project came up where they needed to hire a consultant. I was offered the position, but still had to go through the application process. Basically, they listed the need for someone with my exact credentials on the website, made me apply, and then picked me. I feel bad for people that spent time on their application.

The interview process consisted of two phases. The first phase involved a cover letter, CV, and essay review. If you pass that phase, you complete a 20-minute phone interview that consists of basic questions about the role, one's competencies as a candidate, etc.. The process moved quickly from inception to conclusion. The whole thing was completed within 3 weeks. The interviewers (two( were friendly and pleasant.
