Interviewed Jun 2011 (took 5 days)
I applied online and was contacted within three days by the store's assistant manager. We ran over questions such as "How did you find out about Columbia Sportswear," and "How would you describe Columbia Sportswear as a company?" *A hint: describe them as a clothing AND technology company. They really love that*
I was offered an in-store interview after the phone conversation. At the store interview, I talked to the store manager and the same assistant manager. Both peoples asked almost the same questions.
After a background check was run, I was offered a position 3 days later.

Interviewed Jul 2011 in Beaverton, OR (took 3 days)
I was called out of the blue by the hiring manager and scheduled a phone interview. At the end of the call, we set a day for me to come in for a panel. The HR person scheduled one two days later. The interview was great, the people interesting and I was told I would hear something by the end of the next week.
I sent a thank you email and waited. And waited... and waited.
I called the hiring manager a full week after the promised call back and left a message. Nothing. Then a week after that, I called the HR person and left a message to just check in. Nothing.
It's been nearly two months and I did not even get a courtesy email letting me know I did not get the job. Pretty bad form.

Interviewed Jun 2011 (took 3 days)
Applied online, had 30-min phone interview with HR. Called back for 1 hour in person with the hiring manager. Final round consisted of 4, 30-min interviews with various individuals in department and 1 3:1 panel interview. Overall, fairly straight forward process. No real odd-ball questions. Asked about my background, experience, etc.

Interviewed Feb 2010 (took 3 days)
Spoke with the reqruiter on the phone and then two days later intereviewed with the hiring manager and the Sr. BA of the group. I was called the next day with an offer. I waited 24 hours trying to determine if I would accept it as it's about 10,000 less than average. I figured that the economy was to blame.

Interviewed Nov 2009 (took 2 weeks)
The phone interview was with an HR representative. Most questions were about employment history and specifics related to jobs held. The interview was straightforward. Negative is that I never heard back from the company after the interview. A month later I heard from a recruiter that the company had filled the position.
