Interviewed Jun 2011 in San Francisco, CA (took 6 weeks)
It really took a long time to get to the hiring decision manager, so I felt at a disadvantage, on the other hand the job was a sales positions, so I guess they wanted to put up as many roadblocks as possible so that only the most aggressive would make the final cut. Still, I had excellent qualifications, I know from inside info that I would have done well there. It toOk so long just to get 45 minutes on the phone that I lost momentum, and kind of blew the interview. I had done all my research and had most of the important stuff down, but when it came down to it I probably just wasn't feeling it. It didn't help that the company ha a lot of ex Enron people, and that they seem really money focused. Maybe I'm just rationalizing but I know I could have made a big difference there, but the interview process didn't help me state my case at all. Probably for the best I guess.

Interviewed Jun 2010 in Boston, MA (took 2 weeks)
My interview process consisted of a phone screen with manager and then two rounds of 1 on 2 interviews; 4 per round. Each interview was 30 minutes long, so they are basically looking to make sure you're not a crazy person. Expect typical behavioral questions.
Negotiation Details
I tried negotiating, but it didn't get me far.

Interviewed Aug 2011 in Boston, MA (took 2 weeks)
This was a great interview. I met with the Hiring Manager and she was very informative. I also felt like she really listened to what I was looking for in order to see if I would be a genuine fit. She talked very candidly about the position and company, and was also open about where I wouldn't fit in. I appreciated her honesty and feedback.

Interviewed Aug 2010 in Irvine, CA (took a day)
Group interview with work relevant questions, personal interview, one-on-one interview, and a computer based test after this. Essay based written questions as well. All relevant to the job. Challenging but fair. Be skilled at Microsoft Excel as it is important to the work of the company and to the interview.

Interviewed Nov 2011 in San Francisco, CA (took 6 weeks)
I applied for the Engineer I position online, which included answering a short multiple-choice quiz and essay questions. I got a call from their HR rep in Boston after about a month. We had a short, simply interview. About 1 week later I had a phone interview with an engineering manager from their Concord, CA, location, which was also simple and straightforward. About two weeks after that, I was contacted for an on-site interview. Again, this was fairly easy. It consisted of an interview by two engineering managers who described the office atmosphere and asked a few simple technical questions. Next, I met with 4 or 5 of the location's engineers to chat with them and ask them questions. Finally, I had to complete an Excel skills test and essay question. The skills test was somewhat difficult.
Overall, I would say the interview process was fairly easy and I left with a good feeling. However, I did not receive an offer and I feel a little jerked around because the interview was so easy. At no time did I mislead them about my qualifications and experience and off the bat they knew I didn't have much experience in the field. So, I feel like the on-site interview was a waste of my time because I don't think it gave them any additional information about me, it just gave me more of a hope that I would get an offer. Still, it was a much more organized and positive experience than other interviews I've had with similar companies.

Interviewed Aug 2011 (took 1 week)
After an inital screen by the HR, I had another phone interview with a group member. And then came the face to face interview which was conducted in half hour slots. The group that interviewed me primarily consisted of end users and technology personnel. The interview was a mix of behavioural and technical questions. It was constantly reiterated to me that interview's purpose was for me to gather information about the culture and position with the organization.

Interviewed May 2010 (took 1 week)
Recruiting is outsourced to Accolo. The application began with multiple choice questions gauging your level of experience as it pertains to the job. If passed, then move on to short essay questions of the behavioral interview nature.
In person interview consisted of hiring manager and several subordinates (manager peers), each one hour long. The first hour is a case that is designed to test your analytical ability and to simulate the type of work you would actually do if hired. The rest of the hour is open ended - one interviewer apologized for not being prepared and had to spend the first hour reading through my resume.
Suggestion to be well-versed in the portfolio of products - will be asked multiple times to describe and pitch.
