Interviewed Nov 2011 (took a day)
The first step is a phone interview, it was relatively easy, you just have to sound competent and outline your experiences working in an office and with any sort of sales or cold calling. The next step is an in person interview, in my case it was with two of the hiring managers. While the environment seems really fun, I was intimidated by the managers and as it was my first "real" interview out of college I am sure it showed. Overall, it was not a bad interview process but I was definitely thrown off guard by a few of their questions, do in part to poor preparation on my side. If you make it past the phone interview they provide you with a list of possible interview questions, and of course the question I had the weakest answer to was one of the ones asked.

Interviewed Oct 2010 (took a day)
Interviewed with 4 or 5 managers. They liked what I had to say and I got a job on the spot. The idea is to be all about the position you're interviewing for and you'll be fine.
The culture seemed a little frat boyish. But that's okay if you know how to hold your own in a socially competitive environment.

Interviewed Dec 2009 in Chicago, IL (took 2 days)
For my interview I first had about a 10 minute phone interview and then was asked to come in and meet with one of the hiring managers. During the first interview I met with one manager and also was asked to take a personality test. A few days later I was called in to meet with another manager and the VP of sales. I'd say about 2 days after that i was called with my offer.
