Interviewed Apr 2011 in Austin, TX (took 4+ weeks)
I did a phone interview with several developers, where I was asked about my past experience and technical questions relating to that experience. I then a programming skills test. They did not mention that you couldn't use the Internet as reference, but I assumed they preferred me not to do so. After that, I had several on-site interviews where they tried to find the best fit for me. The interviews were group interviews, with behavioral questions, experience-related question, and some whiteboard questions. Everyone was incredibly professional and went out of their way to make sure I wasn't nervous.

Interviewed Mar 2011 (took 1 week)
Interviewed with the recruiter then 1 week later with the hiring manager. Pay was way lower than industry average ($60K) for similar position and they expected unlimited work hours. I expressed reservations about life-work balance, especially at the pay rate.

Interviewed May 2010 in Austin, TX (took a day)
Very strange interview. Felt rushed. Got the feeling that they just wanted warm bodies in a chair, which made me wonder just how disposable I am. Interviewer was nice, but answered my questions with a lot of industry jargon that I wasn't completely familiar with.
