Interviewed Feb 2012 (took 2 days)
The entire process was very quick. They called me in the morning and asked for a phone interview in the evening. I agreed to that and they wanted me to come in for an on-site interview the very next day.
It was a little surprising how fast they were moving. I had other commitments so I unfortunately had to delay the process but I went in for the on-site a couple of days later. I had six 1:1 interviews with various people. It was a good experience because the interviewers were very nice. I got the offer the very next day. The down side was that they expected me to accept it immediately.

Interviewed Oct 2009 (took 3 weeks)
I found an open position online and has been contacted by hr representative in a few days after submitting my resume. After short 30 min phone interview ( very generic - more like cultural fit test ) I was invited for onsite interview. 6 people x 45 minutes. Questions were - algorithms writing, logical problem solving, write a function in a language of your choice, "how would you deal" type of questions. Overall questions were not as difficult. People were very friendly and we had a nice conversation. In a week after an interview I was contacted with an offer which I accepted.
Negotiation Details
I was able to negotiate the starting work date as I needed to take 3 weeks off my previous job instead of usual 2.
Other Details
I Applied Online and the interview consisted of a Phone Interview, a 1:1 Interview and a Group/Panel Interview.

Interviewed Jul 2008 in Meredith, NH (took 2 days)
Phone interview was thorough but fair. In person interview consisted of meeting 5 different people for around an hour each, quite grueling. All of the interviewers asked pertinent questions relating to the field, my skills, or work ethic. No stupid questions about what cookie or animal I would be. Interviewers were friendly and professional.

Interviewed Jan 2009 in Bangalore (India) (took a day)
the interview was a 1:1 with the Manager followed by an interview with the HR. The questions asked were mainly logical and IQ questions. I don't think I did well but I still got selected. The interview with HR was pretty straight forward with him asking questions like what are your hobbies, interests etc...
