-Second interview met with a 4 different groups a senior geologist and a mid-level geologist, a senior geologist, senior engineer, and then the Principal in Charge. These meetings were back to back and took approximately 3 hours, after this I went to lunch with a few Geologist 1's.

Laid back. Ask me to describe myself, reviewed my resume! People are great to work with. As long as you remain busy with the company, you will have a job.
I applied through other source. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Arcadis in Apr 2011
Interview
I had a couple of phone interviews, then they had me over for an on-site interview.
Best interview experience I have had during this job search. They were interested in actually hiring someone, and they hadn't already picked a candidate (like my two previous interviews). I was impressed with the company and the happiness of the employees. They did not ask me any silly technical questions, they just tried to see if I would be a good match for the office.
