Interviewed Jun 2010 in Los Angeles, CA (took 2 days)
My interview consisted of 30 minute interviews with 5 people. People were nice and seemed like a fun fast paced place to work. Seemed to be a weird vibe between marketing and sales folks. The majority of the people were very nice, seemed to really like working there. Sales leader was a bit of wild card, seemed like everyone was afraid of him.

Have to say it was one of the most layed back interviews I have had in a lone time. Very personal but not to informative when asked specific questions. Had to wait till training and on the job training to get more answers

Interviewed Jun 2010 in Los Angeles, CA (took 2 weeks)
Phone interview consisted of the recruiter asking preset questions about my experience working with large amounts of data, Metrics used for data analysis, etc. The position was for the Data Intelligence group in Customer Service, i.e. analyze customer call data to come up with recommendations.
Onsite interview was with 2 persons. One was a to-be fellow team member and other was a short interview with a member from another team that would be our internal customer. Questions focused on resume (past experience), and the interviewer spent a lot of time explaining the tasks and what the team did. Quite informal and friendly.

Interviewed Jan 2010 in Los Angeles, CA (took a day)
on the phone interview, first they asked some general questions, such as 'tell me about yourself', 'why are you applying for this position', 'what are your strength?', etc., but comes to technical questions, they are looking for some very specific areas, and they want you have hands on experience on the systems they have.

Interviewed Feb 2010 in El Segundo, CA (took 2+ weeks)
I was contacted by a 3rd party recruiting company who found me via Linkedin.com They screened me before forwarding my resume to the DirecTV hiring manager. I was granted an on-site 60 minutes interview with the hiring manager. The, I was invited back for a 2nd round interview with 4 different people. The director of the group, the hiring manager’s peer, and two of the hiring manager’s current analysts. These were all one-on-one interviews lasting 60 minutes each. I was later contacted by the group’s VP for a impromptu 15 minute phone interview that evening. The focus of each interview differed with each interviewer. The other analysts asked more granular / technical questions. The group director evaluated me for cultural fit within the group as well as with the business client. My interview with the VP was less structured, but I too that opportunity to demonstrate my understanding of the industry and my ability to be a forward thinker.
I believe that the DirecTV is a merit based company with many opportunities for assertive and career oriented people. Although their industry is shrinking, DirecTV’s focus on customer service, innovative / cutting edge product offerings has allowed them to grow at their competitor’s expense.

Interviewed Apr 2009 in Ely, NV (took 3 weeks)
First there was a phone interview to screen, the phone interview is pretty much a screen behavioral and then you are invited to the office. At the office they run through your resume asking detailed questions on it, then they asked you why you wanted the position and what you could contribute to the company.

Interviewed Mar 2010 in El Segundo, CA (took 3+ weeks)
The interview over the phone was general with my KSA's but then to be notified that I would be interviewing with 5 individuals separately was a long day. Then having a 2nd interview with another individual that was not originally included in the interview process was a bit questioning.

My interview was not the best but subjective. Depending on the position that you are interviewing for and the highest level of education attained, then your interview experience will be unique to your qualification. Obviously an interview for the position of a technician will be different from lets say a software engineer.
