Interviewed Dec 2011 (took 2+ weeks)
HR contacted me so see if I was interested in participating in the interview process. During the same conversation I was subjected to a minor screening about personality and grades and so forth and so on. I was later scheduled for a techical phone interview where they tested both my interpersonal skill as well as my technical skill. Then I proceeded with three one on one interviews and a group interview. They were all a mix between technical and personality skills tests.

Interviewed Mar 2010 (took 2 months)
Had multiple phone interviews with recruiter, positional peer of the hiring manager and then hiring manager himself. Rather straight forward questions on leadership, technical skills and motivation. This was followed by an onsite interview in two Beckman locations with more of the same. This was followed by a full day psychometric analysis of executive leadership skills at an external testing center and a follow up meeting with the hiring manager the top technology executive of the company and others.

Interviewed Jan 2011 (took 1 week)
Typical interview. Met with hiring manager and 4 collegues. Also met with HR rep who went over the benefits package, salary/job levels, various perks. Discussed company culture, personnel challanges with this position and what they believed are the key success factors for the position. Asked if there were any concerns / limits with regard to travel or working extended hours. The entire interview took about 4 hours and involved many questions based on how I would handle various situations and to provide examples of past situations.

Interviewed Apr 2011 in Saint Paul, MN (took a day)
I was contacted by one of their recruiter. He took the phone interview, satisfied and forwarded to the hiring manager. It took long time for the hiring manager to contact me. Finally hiring manager interviewed me. During the interview he said no matter I am hired or not, he will let me know the result. But this never happened.

Interviewed Aug 2010 in Brea, CA (took a day)
Originally I was called in to the company's main headquarters to interview with two supervisors in the department of compensation. At the interview there were pleasant and not very intensive or difficult questions. The interviewees were professional and explained well the position and the responsibilities expected. Later I had second behavioral interview with HR that was not difficult either. Finally there was a third interview with the VP, but the job offer went to another candidate. Overall, the process took nearly two months.

Interviewed Sep 2010 in Miami, FL (took 3 months)
It progressed fairly quickly in the beginning. HR personnel were very friendly and conducted their phone screens asking the usual scripted questions. Then they proceeded to set up a phone screen with the hiring manager which happened shortly there after. There more questions of detail about technical expertise and management style was gathered. After a few weeks I was invited on-site for a face to face, where I was told I should prepare a 20 minute presentation for a group for why I qualify for the role. The presentation was presented to a panel of 8 people who would ultimate be your direct reports. After which each one was provided the opportunity to ask you 2 or 3 questions. After 4-6 weeks I was told I didn't receive the job.
