Interviewed Mar 2012 in Lexington, MA (took 2 weeks)
I interviewed with 6 people the same day. The interviews were very structured as each interviewee had a set of 3 to 4 questions provided by HR. Most of them were behavioral questions. The day was pretty long and questions had a similar flavor.
Most people in the teams were smart and friendly. They seemed relax and lay back.
They were seeing many candidates for the position and 7 people as well as myself were going through the 5 hours interview process. I got a negative answer within 10 days.

Interviewed Oct 2009 in Lexington, MA (took a day)
Very brief interview with Human Resources. Business casual, seemed pretty laid back Then met with Manager. Long discussion regarding the position, asked me a lot of questions. Very nice people. Their website said to expect a behavioral interview, it wasn;t at all. Very much give and take about the open position.
Took a long time from when the expressed interest to when they actually scheduled the interview (almost 2 months). Then they pulled the job, then put it back. This leaves a bad impression with candidates.

Multiple phone interviews (up to 5) and then if asked trip to HQ for a full day of interviewing. Actual hiring procedure step by step can be found on company web site. Follow up was difficult and the ending very abrupt via "do not reply" email.
