Interviewed Nov 2011 in Boston, MA (took 2 days)
Initial phone interview was to establish working knowledge in the industry for this position. Without working knowledge it would be easy to determine that the person was embelishing their resume/past work. The panel was interesting, there 4 people they all asked questions regarding my experience but also participated in what I would call a group meeting. Probably to determine if I could fit into their culture without ruffling feathers of others. The other folks within the group where strong personalities, there was one person virtually attending the interview. Heavy on skill/knowledge recongnition.

Negotiation Details
I was able to negotiate to a higher pay grade because my knowledge and experience but also my work ethic are difficult to come by. I counter offered, but also had another offer on the table that I was leaning towards.
Other Details
The interview consisted of a Phone Interview, a 1:1 Interview, a Group/Panel Interview, a Personality Test, a Drug Test and a Background Check.

Interviewed Nov 2010 in Austin, TX (took a day)
The interview was for an internship. It took place on a college campus. It was a 45 minute interview with two interviews. The questions were entirely behavorial. The interview was very laid back. The interviews were very easy to talk to. The culture of the company seemed to have the same feel.

The interviewing and hiring process was pretty organized and straight forward. I must say they were a little slow if finalizing my offer package.

Interviewed Oct 2011 in Chicago, IL (took 2+ weeks)
I was first contacted via email to setup a phone interview, which was scheduled for the following day. Phone interview lasted 30 minutes, with general questions about skills and background. Face to face/panel interview was then scheduled via email to take place 12 days after the phone interview. Job description/Phone interview did not seem to match what was being discussed in face to face and I left feeling like I wasted my time. In addition, some of my questions were met with sarcasm, which I felt unprofessional. Hiring manager seemed uninterested, which could have been a tactic, or was true to the situation. I was not offered the position and based on my experience, I am glad I was not.

Interviewed Nov 2009 (took a day)
Mine was not a classic process - only one round of interviews then hired without meeting the team.The office was bare, water was offered but not a comfortable process. I did not meet the team which was a big deal given I would be managing them. Overall everyone was friendly and offered off the record info.

Negotiation Details
Negotiated signing bonus - definitely look at what you have now and what you would lose over an x year period. Discuss stock/RSUs... if you are giving some up then get compensated. The Relo package is fairly restrictive but a good deal overall. Take advantage of the last flight home to finalize details.

Interviewed Aug 2011 in Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul (Brazil) (took 5 days)
The interview process was quite simlpe: a phone screening, where basic information was exchanged, including intended salary; after that, I did a group interview with one of the managers and the recruiter. Finally, I did a phone interview with the person that was going to be my actual manager.
After a couple of weeks, I got a call with a quite decent offer.

I didn't even try to negotiate: the salary they offered me was already about 10% higher than my intended rate.
