Interviewed Aug 2011 (took a day)
The recruiter contacted me and set up the phone interview with the hiring manager. Had the phone screen done with the hiring manager, all about general questions which lasted about 15 mins. It wasn't technical on phone. Then the next step was they scheduled the 1:1 interview (onsite interview) and its a panel of 4 members doing the interview at the same time. The 1:1 interview lasted for 2 hours and was very technical, each person chose 1 different topic (example: Linux, C/Java, Hiring Manager was asking more like IQ questions, SQL etc) and had to write code on the board. The interview is not too intense, it was more like a meeting.

Good people, good office location. You MUST be up-to-date on your software experience (stating you have the knowledge & you pick up software quickly is not good enough for them.) Interview well-planned. Four people had their list of questions, and no question was asked twice. They could have allotted more than the 1/2 hour per person, but that's fine. Good Luck!

Interviewed Dec 2010 (took 3 weeks)
One of the guys there who interviewed me is very arrogant, he only talked to me 5 minutes, then left me with a piece of paper of technical questions, he also gave me some homework(write a program and email him the code) to do.
Considering a compensation below the industry average, it's totally a waste of time.

Interviewed Mar 2010 in Cupertino, CA (took 2 weeks)
The recruiter called me and asked about my background. He set up a phone interview with hiring manager in a couple of days. The phone interview consisted of resume questions and questions about data structures. After a few days the recruiter set up an in person interview with the team. There were total of 4 interviews. each interview was 45-50 minutes long. The first interview was with the manager. It consisted of Whiteboarding code. was asked to code the solution for producer consumer problem. Then we discussed about its efficiency and how to make it thread safe. The second interview was with a team member who asked me a networking question on the white board and then gave me a Java string manipulation code(inputiing HTML tags in a scentence). The third interview was on resume and the fourth was on normal Java questions.
I was satisfied with the interview but after 1 week, the recruiter let me know that my skills were not at par with what they were looking for. My advice: Know in and out of Java if you want to get in here.

Interviewed Jun 2010 in Cupertino, CA (took 4+ weeks)
The entire hiring process is v.slow , they took few weeks to schedule for an interview after deciding to do a personal interview on site.
The entire interview process consists of just writing programs on the white board even for a Sr Sw Engr position. No questions regarding design or how a problem is approached or the process.
