Interviewed May 2008 in Minneapolis, MN (took 2 days)
The interview process was quite simple. It involved walking the panel of three interviewers through your resume. After that, they each had about three to four behavioral-based questions for you to answer. The atmosphere was quite casual and took place in their conference room. I still advise that you dress business professional and to not be afraid to show some personality

Interviewed Aug 2009 (took 4 weeks)
Interview process was okay... the actual hiring manager seeming like a wonderful person, but was very busy. I was only able to speak with him for 15 minutes. Spoke to HR and one other person.
I still left optimistic... but somewhat concerned about potential conflict with another admin that was already there and not performing well. They planned to hire me and keep her. Follow-up was slow; I left messages for HR that took over a week to be returned.
Reason for Declining
I would have had to take a $10,000 pay cut. The man I would have supported was equivalent to a CEO in the Market Place... that salary should have been $10,000 higher than my current pay. Bottom line- they were seeking a high level executive assistant and willing to pay them an entry-level receptionist salary... very disappointing.
Other Details
I got the interview through an Employee Referral and the interview consisted of a 1:1 Interview.

Interviewed May 2008 (took 1 week)
Started off by coming in to the office to talk about the job. This first meeting wasn't an interview, it was more of a pre-interview get to know everyone kind of thing. Then the actual interview happened about a week later. I was interviewed by the IT supervisor and was asked the typical interview questions (i.e. where do you see yourself in 5-10 year). Was offered a job on the spot as I was a good friend of the previous employee who was leaving.
