Interviewed Feb 2012 in Cincinnati, OH (took 2+ weeks)
I submitted my resume and cover letter. Then, 3-4 days later recieved a call from the hiring manager asking me to come in for an interview. I was then interviewed for about 45 minutes by two higher ups. They were extremely nice, and asked me a few questions about why I applied for the position and other basic interview questions.

Interviewed Jan 2009 in Cincinnati, OH (took a day)
Being a University, interviews for positions are done by individual departments.
For a position like a graduate research assistant in the engineering department, the interview is typically a 1:1 by the hiring faculty. Depending on the faculty, the interview is usually pretty informal where there is a discussion about the on-going research projects and your career interests.
The campus exemplifies diversity and provides many opportunities to develop you professional and interpersonal skills. Although guidance is provided, making use of such opportunities are entirely dependent on the individual.

Interviewed Mar 2009 in Cincinnati, OH (took 2 weeks)
The process was confusing and time consuming. There were a number of people involved who seemed to have no idea what they were doing. The primary interviewer did not know as much about the position as she should have.

Interviewed Jul 2011 in Cincinnati, OH (took 2 months)
First did a telephone screening interview. Then was asked to do a second interview. Was interviewed by 8 different people in one day. Group fit was important to them. They made the process really long. First applied for the job in April, did last interview in July and they're still going to be doing other rounds of interviews.

Interviewed Mar 2009 in Cincinnati, OH (took a day)
Standard interview in my field. Presented a lecture of original research with Q&A. Meeting with faculty search committee: asked about reasons for wanting to teach at UC, potential courses I could offer, interests in classroom teaching vs. research. Meeting with graduate students in the department: very varied areas of interest, some clearly liked my specialty, some were openly hostile to it. Interviewed by: dean, one-on-one time with chair of the search committee, lunch with other members of the committee (being asked detailed questions about publication experiences working with specific presses, editing experience, etc.), and meeting with HR to review benefits package. Taught one class meeting of a required course for majors. Very friendly and helpful atmosphere in general.
