Interviewed Jul 2010 (took 2 weeks)
I was initially contacted while working in the field for another organization. The supervisor called and left a message requesting that I call back ASAP. I did and then waited for two weeks to be called again. Was finally group interviewed where several aspects of the job (work functions essentially) were promised to me, but never delivered once I actually accepted.

Interviewed Apr 2010 in Madison, WI (took a day)
My interview took place over the phone. The interviewer mostly wanted to gauge my proficiency with Excel. He did not seem interested in why i wanted to work at the organization. No cover letter was required, just a resume.

Interviewed Dec 2009 in Denver, CO (took 4 weeks)
After an initial round of phone calls that followed an online submission of my resume, I was contacted by the office's recruiter and human resources manager to set up a time to meet with several senior managers. I came into the interview with a specific application already submitted, but with the understanding that the meeting was more to explore opportunities in general. The managers were very willing to help me understand the relative strengths and weaknesses of my candidacy and I left the interview with a good understanding of why I ultimately would not be offered a position.

Interviewed Jul 2010 in Salt Lake City, UT (took a day)
Interviewer was rushed and wanted to get through the process. Seemed like I might have been interviewed just so they could meet criteria of interviewing top applicants.
