Application
I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at King County (Seattle, WA) in March 2012.
Interview
Very drawn out. Panel inteview, then one-on-one, then panel for last few candidates - all over several weeks. Came to find out that the position was pretty much guaranteed to go to an individual already inside and related to someone in the organization. Very frustrating to spend so much time and energy and emotion on what amounts to a lost cause - and a waste of time for all concerned. Was just as well I didn't get the position, as it turns out, but the process is disappointing all the same.

Apply for job online. If you meet the criteria and are qualified, they contact you for interview either in person or by phone. Since I was unable to meet with them in person due to schedule conflict, I had a phone Interview. Interview panel includes the managers and regular staffs, asking you questions.

I applied online. The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at King County (Seattle, WA) in May 2013.
Interview
Submitted my application online. Then over a month later I got a phone call requesting an in-person interview on-site with two engineering managers.
The interview was very structured and formal. Managers literally went down a list of questions from HR and apologized at how boring it was because there wasn't any real conversation, just them asking questions and me giving my best answer. All questions were behavioral and not difficult at all.
Interview Questions
Negotiation
No negotiation. Pay was the bottom of the range they provide on the website.

Interview
One in-person interview with 3 people. I was interviewed before the close date for the position but then had to wait for other candidates, who applied later, to be interviewed. This took about 3 weeks to hear back on next steps.

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at King County (Seattle, WA) in August 2015.
Interview
The process is already defined. Questions follow a rigid protocol as not to show preference to an candidate, however this also causes poorly skilled but book smart employees to be hired.

I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at King County (Renton, WA) in September 2014.
Interview
The interview was a group interview in a computer lab setting. There was a brief typing test and then just a few questions were asked of each person. It was overall a very quick and painless experience. The typing test was not difficult and the interview questions were not tricky or confusing. They largely focused on experience answering phones and typing.
