Interviewed May 2011 in Rockville, MD (took a day)
Applied online for the position, then received a phone call to set up an interview at the Westat HQ in Rockville, MD. Met first with one person from HR, who provided me with information about the benefits available when working at Westat, and also asked a few questions about previous employment history and salary requirements. Moved on to a panel interview with six people, with one asking most of the questions. The questions were typical; they asked me to run through my resume, explain my interest in the position, why I would like to work at Westat, etc. They then gave me time to ask my own questions.
As a side note: I didn't actually know what the interview format would be like; I was not informed that it was going to be a panel interview.
Negotiation Details
I used the salaries available on this site as a guideline for my salary requirement. I asked for a little higher than the average and was given what I asked for, so I did not negotiate.
Other Details
I Applied Online and the interview consisted of a 1:1 Interview and a Group/Panel Interview.

Interviewed Mar 2011 in Rockville, MD (took 2 months)
First off I want to say that everyone I interacted with was very nice and polite. In all I had two interviews and an informal "interview" from HR (asking basic questions like "why do you want to work at westat", "how did you hear about westat" and some questions about previous employment). When I arrived for my in person interview is when I was told I would be in a group interview. All went well, except half way through I was told this was a general interview b/c a variety of positions was open. I thought that wasn't a big deal, and later that day I was called in for a second interview. It took about a month to get everything scheduled (westat does not do job interviews on Friday's, which made it a bit tricky since I was coming in from out of state). Needless to say when I got to the SECOND interview I was finally told what the position I was interviewing for. Unfortunately, I had no interest in the position they thought was a good fit for me. Too bad they wasted my time and their own. HR at Westat really needs to work on their communication skills. I will never reapply for any position in this company.
