Interviewed May 2012 in Seattle, WA (took 2 days)
A recruiter called me and I had a long interview with her. Very professional. Then I had a phone interview with someone that was to be a "peer." someone temporarily doing the job of Cloud Product Manager. I have over 7 years of experience with cloud services products. Several times during the interview, she was sarcastic, saying "I think I have enough..." several times like it was an inside joke. Then asked me to explain how the cloud services provided by my prior company could be called "cloud" services.
Basically I said that they were services called by companies over the web, paid for on a model like Amazon services. She told me this was not "cloud" and she didn't see how that was "cloud." I said services people pay for not run on their own computers are devices are "doing it on the cloud." She said I was wrong.

Interviewed Aug 2009 in Seattle, WA (took 2 days)
Met with senior recruiter who presented very efficiently and created a comfortable atmosphere during the interview process. Met with product manager, director of data warehousing, lead DBA, scrum master (PM) and CIO. Overall the interview experience was pleasant and rewarding.
Negotiation Details
The negotiation was tough in terms of attempts of being low-balled by BFG. They have an attitude that they have no trouble finding people, even though they do, so they can suppress wages offered.
Other Details
The interview consisted of a Phone Interview, a 1:1 Interview and a Background Check.

Interviewed Jan 2011 in Seattle, WA (took a day)
Phone interview - 30 minutes.
Since the time was short, we skipped the "usual" stuff - my last job, what i did there. I briefed him my overall work experience. SDLC and emphasized more on situational based questions. "What would u do if..." kinda ones. The interviewer first walked me through a couple of scenarios and asked me to identify the possible test cases.

Interviewed Jun 2009 in Seattle, WA (took 1+ week)
To be fair, the recruiter in HR was very good and gave it her best to find a spot for me. I interviewed for two different positions, but found both hiring managers to not understand what they wanted from the position or hire. In fact the first position I interviewed for they ended up changing the job title and requirements eventually.
Hey Big Fish, don't waste people's time while your figure your stuff out.
The second interview was for a position that I was highly qualified for, but the hiring mgr knows nothing about search marketing. I felt I was pre-judged because I had mainly worked at startups, or companies in the online marketing space he had never heard of. He really was not qualified to interview someone for the position, he didn't really know what he was asking
I walked away from the process annoyed and felt like it was a big waste of time.

Interviewed Mar 2009 in Seattle, WA (took 6 weeks)
The interviewing process took some time, and nudging, but eventually (after 5 weeks) I got the interview/screening with HR. HR was honest about the fact that hiring was happening, but for that job it was on hold although they thought I was a good fit culturally and wanted to talk to me again if anything changed. I wasn't hopeful, but then I got a call a week later to speak with the hiring manager over the phone for a true interview. If I had gotten further than that, I was told I would have interviewed with the team next.
