Interviewed Apr 2008 in Miami, FL (took 3 days)
The interview process was actually fast and hopeful (for me). I sent in an email replying to a position posted on my university's job-board and received a reply 2 days later to set up a first interview later that week. I went to the first interview with the future supervisor who questioned me to test environmental compatibility and personality as well as technical background. Then interviewed with a more coworkers to better judge technical abilities through conversation (no real written test). There were 2 more interviews, the second was with the technical staff (developers and engineers) and the 3rd was a phone interview with some specific tech related questions.
The people (in the Miami office) were very warm and welcoming with varying technical / business backgrounds. They were more careful in trying to see if you'd fit into the corporate culture than testing your technical knowledge. However, the further up the chain your interviewer is, the harder they are to read.
The people, once in, are very easy to work with. Everyone tries to help each other and show each other how to get around and complete their tasks. Its really is a great place to work.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
I went in eagerly and jumped at what was offered. I did not negotiate, but mostly because I was going in as a recent graduate and as a contractor, so there really wasn't much space to negotiate. However, I have seen negotiations work smoothly for everything from raises to benefits and severance packages. Sometimes it might get too bureaucratic but if you stick to it, it gets done properly and everything gets taken care of.
Other Details
I got the interview through a College or University and the interview consisted of a Phone Interview, a 1:1 Interview and a Skills Test.
