Interviewed Jun 2011 in Irvine, CA (took 2 days)
Expect long delays in applying and getting an interview. Their hiring process is long. After working here internally, I can say that it's not the department that's delaying the hiring process, it is HR and all other dept involved.
From the date you send in application to the day you get a response could be months.

Negotiation Details
Not much to negotiate, you tell them what you want, they either say yes, or no. You have hundreds waiting in line if you don't take the job. That's how it felt.
Other Details
The interview consisted of a Group/Panel Interview and a Phone Interview.

Interviewed Jan 2012 in Irvine, CA (took 1 week)
HR communication was ok - after phone interview they scheduled onsite interview in about 2 weeks. Onsite interview was pretty exhausting - 1.5 hours written test, 1 hour interview during lunch and 3x1.5 hours with pair of engineers.
In general atmosphere was really good - nice office culture, nice people, casual dress-code.
Initial written test was ok, despite have 12 questions with 4 of them you need to write a piece of code.
Onsite lunch was good.
But when we started inperson interviews it was too much low level questions about Internet protocol suite and other network communications.
Ok, may be if it is so important for you guys to have strong networking people onboard - just mention this in your job description!
Overall I was really exhausted by the end of the interview and a little bit happy that it is finally over.
I was rejected, but it seems like the guys are really having hard times dealing with all legacy stuff, overtimes and so-on. I'm absolutely respect their decision and wish you good luck!

Interviewed Apr 2011 (took a day)
Interview process was very normal. Since my interview included language test, it might have been little more stressful than normal interview. The questions asked were very normal interview questions. I was asked to provide my strength and weakness.

Interviewed Dec 2011 in Irvine, CA (took 3 weeks)
The process was streamlined, communication both ways was great and handled via phone and e-mail. A phone interview was scheduled and after the interview a skype interview was conducted. No offer due to new policies at this time. Still a candidate, the people handling and conducting the interviews are courteous, friendly and professional.

Interviewed Oct 2011 in Cork (Ireland) (took 4+ weeks)
After applying online, received an email the next day with a few basic questions about my knowledge of Blizzard's games. After that a few emails were exchanged to setup a phone interview which took place maybe a week after applying. Being done with the phone interview stage of the application process I was told it would take a couple weeks to get any feedback, which eventually came back with a negative reply.

Interviewed Sep 2011 in Paris (France) (took a day)
Two months after applying online I received a e-mail from HR asking me if I'm still interested in the position. We agreed on a time for the phone interview (pre-screening). Lady from the HR department called me from their Irish office. Asked me a bunch of pretty straightforward questions:
After 20 minute interview she sent me a take home test that required me to translate some text from English to Polish as well as write some content in Polish and English. I had 24 hours to finish this written assignment.
I turned it in and did not hear from then since...

Interviewed May 2011 in Irvine, CA (took 1 week)
I applied online for their summer intern MBA program and was contacted many months later. The initial phone screen interview was pretty straight forward and easy. The 1 on 1 interview wasn't too difficult either. They really look to see if you're a good fit for the organization. They asked quite a few questions about personal interests and hobbies, as well as career goals. I would highly recommend researching the background of the position you are applying for. For example the project manager position I applied for didn't require any direct experience, but the interviewer was curious how much I knew about project management and methodologies. Do your research!

Interviewed Jun 2010 in Irvine, CA (took 2+ weeks)
Moved very quickly, but it seems to vary based on the position/team. Initial contact was from a Recruiter, who very quickly set up a phone interview with what was ultimately the hiring manager. She recommended I keep my schedule open, and within a few days, I received an invitation to interview with the rest of the team. The interview scheduling process was a bit sterile (form emails, etc), but onsite, the strong culture and casual atmosphere was really obvious. The email instructed me not to dress up, so I wore jeans and a decent shirt.
My position is not technical, so the interview consisted mostly of detailing my previous work experience, and how I thought it would relate to job they were trying to fill. Not difficult, but I was certainly challenged to come up with creative ideas and innovative ways to go about the same old things. Moreso than any other interview I'd been on. That was a positive sign to me. Even in corporate, they still wanted creative individuals.
After several panel interviews (I believe I met with 8 people total in the span of 3 hours), I got a really great tour of the campus, by a Staffing Coordinator, who answered all my questions about daily life on campus, culture, etc. Received an offer within 2 business days.
