Interviewed Feb 2011 in Rochester, NY (took 2 weeks)
I was contacted by a recruiter for a position they had open. The first round of interviews was with a panel of three people. I believe one of the people I interviewed with was the boss of the position I was applying for, and the other two were co-workers. The questions they asked were scenario-based in the HR field, like "What would you do if a manager called to inform you a worker was hurt while on the job". I found it to feel a little unorganized. The interview started late on there account, and nobody took notes during the duration.
The second round of interviews were two 1-on-1 conversations with a vice president and another individual whom I was not told who they were. They were both very unstructured, and more a conversational setting.

Interviewed Oct 2011 in Rochester, NY (took a day)
My resume was sent in via recruiter. It took about a month to hear anything and then it went fast. Got a call on Tuesday for an interview on Friday. Was told to expect 1-3 people and an hour. It ended up being 3 1:1 talks, 1 2:1 talk, and 1 5:1 talk that ended up being 3 hours. I'm in good shape and could keep up with the fast walk and stairs and keep the layout of the building in mind. I imagine this was part of their assessment The energy with the first person was so high and got me so excited that I found it difficult to come down from there for the rest of the time. It threw me off enough that I didn't sell myself as well as I would have liked. Everyone was very knowledgeable and fabulous and I could see myself working with them. I had never experienced such an interview. I was completely wiped at the end of it.

Interviewed Aug 2011 (took 2 weeks)
The interview began with a math and spelling test which was pretty basic. Then I went into a one-on-one interview with a very friendly lady. She loved to talk so we chatted about all kinds of random things.
