Interviewed Nov 2010 in Burlington, MA (took 2 weeks)
Standard interviewing procedure - pre-screen with HR and then on to interview with hiring manager and her staff at the time. Everyone reporting to and including the hiring manager were pleasant and professional. A second interview with the hiring manager's manager turned me off with overtly rude behavior and questions.
Interview Questions
Reason for Declining
Obnoxious, "lifetime employee" senior management with no actual managerial skills and a culture that to me seemed all about squeezing as much as possible out of you. The offer was obscenely low ball for the standard amount of hours they want their employees there (It's more than 40 per week - it's actually their policy and they are very clear about it.)
Other Details
I Applied Online and the interview consisted of a Phone Interview and a 1:1 Interview.

Interviewed Feb 2010 (took 2 weeks)
Was approached by the company's recruiter after I posted my resume on their site. A phone interview was arranged which was a overview of the kind of work I had previously done, mostly technical. Then (after a week) there was an onsite interview, 1:1 with 4 different people, all technical. The interviewers were all very nice and pleasant. Then after a couple of days another onsite, this time there was an IQ test. Got the offer on another weeks time.

Interviewed Mar 2012 in Burlington, MA (took a day)
HR contacted me offering me the interview after reviewing my resume. I met with 3 people, the Principle Software Engineer, the Technical Team Lead, and the Director of Engineering. The first person asked me many technical questions about c#, Java, and SQL database stuff. The other two were mostly behavioral. In the end, they had me take a 13 question analytical test (read a paragraph, answer questions). They were very hospitable and constantly checked in if I needed to use the bathroom or get a drink. Everything took about 3 hours.

Interviewed Jan 2011 (took a day)
Two phone interviews, one is from the recruiter and the other is from the hiring manager. Half of an hour for each interview. I applied through my school career service website. First one went really good so I got a call from the hiring manager.

Interviewed Jan 2009 in Burlington, MA (took a day)
Standard phone screen questions on the phone such as understanding of Java collections, OOD/OOP.
More detailed questions on the interview. Mostly along the same lines. Written database knowledge test. (If you know how to write inner and outer joins, you'll be fine) plus English language test for non-native speakers (easy).
Interview Questions
i've ever heard but...
Say you have the following classes
class A
{ public String doIt() { return "A"; } }
class B extends A
{ public String doIt() { return "B"; } }
class C
{ public static String doIt() { return "C"; } }
class D extends C
{ public static String doIt() { return "D"; } }
Now consider the following code snippet
A b = new B();
String s1 = b.doIt();
C d = new D();
String s2 = d.doIt();
What will be the values of s1 and s2?

Interviewed Nov 2011 in Boston, MA (took a day)
The interview process was a bit over the place. On the day of the onsite interview, they did not have a room I could interview in and they had me moving all around the office. However, interviewers were good.
They called me the next week and extended me the offer. Two weeks after that, they just called and withdrew the offer which was extremely surprising. The reason given me to was that they had found someone else.
They are a mid sized company but behaved in an extremely unprofessional and an unethical manner.

Interviewed Sep 2011 (took 3 weeks)
The process consisted of 2 phone interviews, one with HR and one with a CS manager, and a day long onsite panel interview. The experience matches what others described here, including the absence of a conclusion. I never heard from them.
In hindsight I should have considered CRD's reputation and not have wasted my time and efforts.
