Interviewed Jul 2011 in New York, NY (took 4 weeks)
A very long, and drawn out, process for such a low, entry-level job. It consisted of several phone interviews, probably around 4, with all different people. The people I talked to were nice, but the process seem disorganized. For instance, on the fourth phone interview the woman told me they were still accepting applications and didn't have a time table set for a decision.
After the fourth phone call, I never heard back from them again, not even an email, which was a little annoying after I did speak to 4 difference people over the phone.

Interviewed Sep 2011 in New York, NY (took 2 months)
Phone interview with the recruiter, and three one-on-one interviews with the hiring manager (1 hour) and then her manager and a peer (1 hour). There was no sense that they actually know who they need to hire (what skills, etc), and the process was dragging. I got the call from the HR after the final round in about a month saying that they are still looking and need my salary current/expectations. That's it. I have never heard about them again, although I went through all rounds... Not a very pleasant experience.

Interviewed Sep 2009 (took 2 weeks)
Interview process was actually fairly painless given you won't talk with recruiting much. You will talk with the people you will be working with and for very early in the process. If you know how to do the work you are being hired to do and stay positive, but not evangelistic, the interview process will be very painless. You must be able to explain how you would opperate in an atmosphere with little to no structure.
Directors, Sr. Managers, and middle management are very competent and highly skilled. They are also the most overworked. Reasons below.
Keep it very simple with executives. More so than you would with another company's executives. Company is dealing with some serious leadership shortfalls now, but that is changing.

Interviewed Mar 2010 in Kingston upon Thames, England (United Kingdom) (took a day)
Initial communications were polite. Seemed well organised and present a very professional image.
The process involved a competency-based interview, delivered in a highly structured and rigid manner. Interviewers spent most of the time looking at forms they were filling in. I wanted to say, "Hey, why don't I fill in that form, then we can discuss my answers. It'll save us all time, and we can, you know, INTERACT."
Had short straightforward test and eventually was invited back for a second interview. The second time the interviewers were the head of the dept and an HR rep. The head of the dept was rude, short-tempered and rolled her eyes when I asked for clarification about a question she asked. Glad I was not offered a job there as the company seems to be extremely bureaucratic and stiff and the department head seemed like a terrible boss.

Interviewed Jun 2010 in Norwood, MA (took 3 months)
Initially impressive because they found me and appeared very interested. However, following through to set up phone interviews took longer than expected and then there was no follow-up after the interviews. Some interview questions seemed out of a manual. It left me with the impression they are disorganized and inexperienced.

Interviewed Jul 2009 in Chicago, IL (took 4+ weeks)
I was referred through a current WK employee. First interview was with a WK recrutier who went over background, resume, etc. and set up the online assessments. The next step was a behavioral interview with three people that lasted about an hour. I made it past this step to the final interview with the hiring manager. I was told three people made it through to the final interview. The interview experience was mostly positive except that getting follow up and feedback was like pulling teeth.
