Interviewed May 2011 (took 3 months)
Everything went well. HR communicated as they said they would. Interviewers were extremely kind, however it was an unstructured process, i.e., some people had questions, some said "tell me about yourself," some hadn't looked at my resume so had no idea who I was/what I'd done. Person who got the job completely deserved it as he met all of the desired criteria and more.

Interviewed Jul 2011 (took 3 months)
Met with people who have had the position I interviewed for, along with their management team. I had a couple of phone interviews before the two in-person interviews. There was a skills test involved during the panel interview. There was also a 1 month wait in between the 3rd and final interview.
Overall, there was a lack of communication with the recruiter despite my several attempts to receive an update between interviews.
Advice for candidates: Patience- the people whom I interviewed with had staggered vacations, thus the wait time, though I wish this was conveyed prior to the interview.

Interviewed Dec 2009 in Atlanta, GA (took 6+ weeks)
The recruiters are very unorganized. They were typically slow to respond to voice mails or emails, often taking more than a day or two to respond. Often they would not have their facts straight or understand requirements for offer acceptance. The most aggravating part was the recruiters not getting my offer to me when they said I'd have it. My schedule at the time was lining up for the offer acceptance, but they delayed the offer by 3 weeks, constantly telling me it was "in the mail."

Interviewed Jun 2009 in Atlanta, GA (took 2+ weeks)
The initial phone screening was preliminary to ensure the candidate is well versed with the technologies. The panel interview was bit harder where hiring team fired questions to see the depth of my technical expertise in Hibernate and Spring.

Interviewed May 2010 in Atlanta, GA (took 3 weeks)
Company was quick to get back to my application, but process dragged on when it came to follow up interviews. First two HR interviews seemed positive (both were superficial, however). Third interview came, good conversation - with promise for several open positions and an offer to meet a line manager during a recent business trip. Then... silence. Reason given: Travel schedules. Gave the impression that the company's staff was overstretched (or worse, given complete license when on the road to no work quite so hard). From a road warrior perspective - schedule conflicts are OK excuses for minimal delays. "Travel," however, is not. Gotta be accessible and able to make informed decisions while traveling.

Interviewed Jul 2009 in Saint Louis, MO (took a day)
I'll update with any additional information should it arise, however I applied for a User Experience Manager position online (I had to submit to a credit check and online personality / intelligence test) and within days of doing so I received a call from a member of the company. She asked no specific questions rather she said, "Tell me about everything, from the beginning." That kind of question generally sets someone up to fail, it's as if she had no idea what she was looking for in a candidate and just wanted to feel them out over the phone.
I asked her to be more specific with what type of information she would like to know, she said to start with my employment 12 years ago, which I found was odd. I complied and provided her with information to the current date on how my specialties had changed and advanced throughout the 12 years.
She then asked why I was leaving my current employer - which is for career advancement as there is no promotion possible at my current location.
The entire time she was typing in the background very loudly.
She then asked my salary expectations, to which I replied it would depend on the entire scope of the position and that would only be determined after the position was fully outlined. She asked specifically, "What would it take to get you to leave your current company?" I repeated the same answer.
She asked if I had any questions and I asked what exactly her branch of the company did and if this position was with the company proper or one of their clients, she replied affirmatively to the former and gave me an outline of the company. I was not able to answer any additional questions.
I did however state at the end of the interview that I've learned that my broad skill set is applicable to many areas and those skills are often utilized outside of my primary position. She responded rather tersely that this was a web only position, which I said I understood.
She then stated that she was interviewing several candidates and would either call me back or I was welcome to follow up with her. It was obvious from the tone of her voice and the dismissive questions
asked and the prompt dismissal of any additional questions on my behalf that she was not interested in me and I doubt I will hear back.
Some advice to the company: have someone on staff who is very particularly to do job interviews. Have a list of questions relevant to the position - I wasn't asked a single question about my User Experience skills or knowledge and that is the primary role of the position. Also, have someone who can remain neutral on the phone and if you want a transcript of the entire call record it and type it later. Having someone typing out your answers as you talk or audibly taking notes as you talk is very off putting and not at all professional.

Interviewed May 2009 in Saint Louis, MO (took 3 weeks)
The first step was to take the Wunderlic Assessment online. The second step was a telephone interview with the recruiter. Afterwards, there was a one on one interview with an HR Manager and a second, more extensive Wunderlic test. The final step was an interview with 4 people in rapid succession. There were no wet questions they seemed to focus on, simply review of my background
