Interviewed Oct 2010 (took 2 days)
I went through a recruiter who offered some good advice but essentially used the classic "you're not really right for the position" argument. The interviewers were tough but fair, offered challenging questions, and seemed generally kind. I wouldn't say it was difficult or easy as it was experiential-based.
Other Details
I got the interview through a Recruiter and the interview consisted of a 1:1 Interview.

Interviewed Dec 2011 (took 2 weeks)
A series of interviews with the staff all working from a set of prepared questions. Everyone seemed very friendly and appeared like they wanted me to get the job. They had people in multiple locations so some of the interviews were in person, some were over the phone and one was done by video conference.

Received and Declined Offer

Interviewed Dec 2010 (took 4+ weeks)
Received a phone call from the hiring manager many months after I initially applied. Went through the interview process:
-Filled out application when I got to the office.
-I interviewed with four different people separately. One of the interviewers was dressed VERY unprofessionally (wearing what looked like pajama pants and an ill-fitting t-shirt (I could see her belly poking out). Right there, that got the red flag going up -- do I REALLY want to work for a company that allows their employees to come to work dressed like slobs?
-The interviews took about 3 hours. Lots of basic research questions/behavioral questions.
-Received offer a MONTH later. Declined it.
Reason for Declining
They offered me a LOWER salary than my current job. Company also seemed extremely disorganized. Nice office though (Minneapolis)
Other Details
I Applied Online and the interview consisted of a Phone Interview and a 1:1 Interview.
