Interviewed Jan 2012 (took 2 weeks)
The first interviewer was very nice. Normal question about resume and linked list question.
The second interviewer wasn't that good. I can hear he was eating when I was coding. And He asked me to wait for him to read the code because when I was coding when was doing something else. I finished the question but not happy with the interview process.

Interviewed Aug 2011 in Seattle, WA (took a day)
The phone interview was very pleasant and open ended. Was also tested on my skills, so have pen and paper ready to answer technical questions if asked. I was able to ask questions of the interviewer at the end, so have those in place, and the interviewer was very responsive. I am awaiting to hear the outcome.
