Interviewed Jan 2009 in Redlands, CA (took 3 months)
I interviewed many people on a one-to-one basis. All generic interview questions were asked. Very friendly people (back then) overall. Made me feel comfortable.
The overall process is quite slow. Took 3 months for me. Could be frustarting.

Phone interview with HR, following week had in-person interview. Interviewed with HR, the supervisor for the department, the supervisor and a director, one co-worker, another co-worker, supervisor again and then HR again. Also did a phone interview with another co-worker. My process was brutal but quick which isn't the norm.

Interviewed Jul 2011 in Topeka, KS (took 6 months)
The day of interview consisted of 11 different 1:1 interviews that lasted approximately 45 minutes long. In between the different interviews I had a 20 minute presentation to give to a panel of 15-20 people. The people at Esri seem very friendly. By the end of the day I was pretty exhausted from interviewing with the different people. All around I thought the interview was challenging but good.

Interviewed Jun 2009 (took 5 months)
It was a long drawn out process - I had around 4 rounds of phone screens, including 1 from HR, 2 from my to-be colleagues and 1 from my to-be manager. Then after almost 1 month, I heard back from them and was called for an onsite interview - which was a rigorous day-long interview with almost 10 different inetrviewers - I was taken from one office to another (that's one great thing - we all have our own private cabins) and by 2 weeks, I heard back from the HR saying they were interested in hiring me

Interviewed Apr 2011 in Redlands, CA (took 4+ weeks)
What a joke.
I initally applied for a Receptionist position and the HR woman offered me a HR Assistant interview. It started with an initial phone interview basically gathering info on me and my background and describing the job. Next was the on site interview wherein I completed a typing test and an IQ test (alphabetical filing, definitions, common sense etc...). After taking time off work to interview the interviewer said it would be a week or two before I heard back from her. I sent a Thank You letter after the interview, sent a follow-up a week later, and a phone call two weeks later. Nearly three weeks after my on-site interview I received an e-mail stating that I am no longer a candidate for the position.
Over a month process for an Assistant position....a waste of time is really what it seems like. I was extremely excited to see ESRI and be considered for a position but after this long process and the denial e-mail opposed to a phone call for all the time and effort I put in, I really don't think I would even consider working for ESRI anymore.
Good luck ESRI.
