Interviewed Mar 2011 in Baltimore, MD (took 1+ week)
I had applied online through the company website. After a couple of weeks I had a telephonic interview followed by a 1:1 interview at their office. They verbally offered me the position the next day which I accepted. Although it did take much time for them to send the official offer letter.

Interviewed Jul 2010 (took 2 days)
Interview not technically very difficult. Enough questions to figure out if you were a bluffer or not, but nothing really out of the ordinary. Tecnical portion of the interview was good. HR and "cultural assesment" was ridiculuos and in my view a total waste of time.
Interview Questions
Reason for Declining
The cultural assesment kind of turned my stomach a bit. This may have been the whole point of the thing. Money offered wasn't very competitive either.

Interviewed Jan 2008 (took 6 days)
Got a call from the recruiter and they collected the current employment details, etc. Got a few follow up calls later and then I got a call from AOL. There were five rounds of rigorous interviews, four technical rounds and one HR round. The technical rounds were pleasant but the HR round was very disappointing where they tried and kept my salaries as low as they could do. Well, once I joined, the growth was pretty good though. I have heard stories otherwise too. So I think it depends on your performance.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
They play very pricey in negotiations. My advice would be to stand your ground when it comes to salary (make sure it's reasonable though).
Other Details
I got the interview through a Recruiter and the interview consisted of a Phone Interview, a 1:1 Interview, a Group/Panel Interview, a Skills Test and a Background Check.
