Interviewed Nov 2010 in Cranberry Twp, PA (took 3 days)
Found a job online at company website and submitted application. Within a few days, a company "recruiter" called for a phone screening (30-45 minutes) and set up an interview for one week after the call.
During the interview, there were approximately 8 other candidiates being interviewed at the same time, although for various positions (we were told it was not a competition - there were enough openings). Not all candidates were interviewed by the same interview teams. This process took about 2 hours total.
I was not interviewed for the job I applied to online. Instead, I was interviewed for three differenent positions and departments within the company. The strategy was billed as "we want to hire good people that fit the organization, then try and put you in the best place to succeed."
We were told that we would hear back within two weeks. I heard back within several days with an e-mail offer and had one week to accept or reject the offer.
After making some phone calls to potential supervisors and HR, the offer was accepted. A packet of information was sent with paperwork and drug screening. Once I passed the drug screening and background check, the offer was official and a start date was determined.
Overall, the process went a lot faster than I had expected (a little more than 1 month from initial application to finalized offer and start date).
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
I attempted to negotiate vacation time, but was unsuccessful.
I attempted to negotiate base salary, but was unsuccessful.
I attempted to negotiate a signing bonus (since there was no relocation or recruiter fee) and was successful.
Ultimately, it never hurts to ask.
Other Details
I Applied Online and the interview consisted of a Phone Interview, a 1:1 Interview, a Group/Panel Interview, a Drug Test and a Background Check.

Interviewed Mar 2009 in Cranberry Twp, PA (took a day)
Had an initial interview with a HR rep. Nothing surprising there. I was then flown out for a one on one interview with a manager. I was given a list of possible questions ahead of time and all the questions came from that list. Pretty normal questions. "Tell me about a time that you did this or that...".

Interviewed Dec 2009 in Pittsburgh, PA (took a day)
The interview process is fairly simple if you make it on-site. They typically bring in 100-200 graduating seniors to a conference center in downtown Pittsburgh. From what I was told, a large portion of the individuals who interview on-site get hired.

I got a call from a recruiter and set up a phone interview. Interview was with tech lead and supervisor. Took about 30 minutes. Nothing special was asked. I was told the recruiter would then get in touch with me if there will proceed with the hiring process. I got a generic email a day later.
