Interviewed Oct 2009 in Boston, MA (took 2 weeks)
Contacted by HR through LinkedIn. Had first interview by phone with the HR Manager. A week later had Interview with the business hiring Manager. Through the interview with HR, culture, people and work envinronment sounded good. However, salary and compensation with less that current compensation. Agreed to next interview in case it was an exciting job - It was not so.

Interviewed May 2009 in Cambridge, MA (took 4+ weeks)
1 HR screen, 2 phone interviews, onsite interview for one day with 8 individuals and presentation, and 1 further phone interview. Long process, however everybody I spoke to was interesting and interested. Overall, it was not a very technical set of interviews but it is advised to be ready with many examples from your career as you do end up speaking to a lot of different people throughout the process.
