Interviewed May 2011 (took 2 months)
Applied online and within a couple of days received an invitation to do the IQ/Math/etc. tests. Each test was a different phase, with knock-out rounds.
After I passed the tests, a phone interview was next (had some issues with connection on the first try with but they were nice enough to reschedule it).
After passing phone interview, got an invitation to assessment center to Denmark. AC was tough, whole day from 7 in the morning to 7 at night. Lots of interviews, group work, personal and group assessment, etc.

Interviewed Apr 2011 in Portland, OR (took a day)
Initial phone interview, which led to an office interview with the VP of HR and a current Management Assistant. Asked a lot of questions about analytics and tried to ensure the position was differentiated as a management training position and not an administrative assistant position.

Interviewed Dec 2010 in Portland, OR (took a day)
Initially started with a phone interview and was invited to interview on-site. Spent four hours with outside firm taking personality test and having to answer questions in regards to resume. Interviewed with groups of two to three people for three hours answering questions in regards to resume and 'how would you handle' type questions.
I found the company people to be rather delightful and interesting to talk to but got the picture that the company is somewhat disorganized and management appears to be struggling. Employees continued to stress that 'chaos' was the norm at the company. I liked that company, I believe it is going through growing pains and hopefully will straighten out soon as competition from GE will consume the company if the business direction isn't changed.
Interview Questions
Reason for Declining
The offer was declined due to conflict in relocation offer and somewhat lower salary expectations.
Other Details
The interview consisted of a 1:1 Interview, a Group/Panel Interview, an IQ/Intelligence Test and a Personality Test.
