Interviewed Jun 2008 in Redlands, CA (took 5 weeks)
I posted a resume on a job-function specific site, a few days later I got an invitation to submit an application. I did, and within a week or 2 I had a preliminary interview scheduled with the supervisor of the section. We talked for about 1/2 hour, he seemed like an OK guy. We hung up, and about a week later, I got a call (or maybe it was an email) to schedule another interview, as a 1-on-1 with a support analyst. She asked a bunch of questions about objects, properties, methods, etc. Then 2 or 3 weeks after that, they called and said they wanted me to fly to Redlands for an all-day series of interviews.

Interviewed May 2010 in Redlands, CA (took 2 days)
ESRI interviews for hours and hours, meeting every person in their 5,000 person company. The technical part of the interview was a little bit like getting raped. Questions were poorly worded, very trivial in nature, and answered by the interviewer before I had a chance to understand the question or even respond, and they openly laughed at me several times. Extremely disrespectful. I was told I didn't meet the standards of their company, even though I have worked for worldwide giants who have equally high standards. No doubt, this company has an amazing ego. They did seem to have their act together on process and delivering products, and they invest heavily in R&D. It seemed like a very good opportunity on the surface.

Interviewed Mar 2008 in Redlands, CA (took a day)
They invite you to Redlands, and then have a full day of interviews. These mostly consist of programming and math questions, with some domain specific questions thrown in. The best advice I could offer would be to review your algorithms and data structures, and if you don't know the answer take a stab at it anyway. It's a pretty standard technical interview, just rather long.

Interviewed Mar 2010 (took 7 weeks)
Initial phone screening interview with HR Representative in Week 1.
Phone interview with Manager in Week 2.
Additional phone interview in Week 3.
On site interview 8 hours in Week 5.
Determination in Week 7.
POSITIVES:
All interview expenses paid.
Friendly staff.
Inviting campus.
Debt free.
Stable.
NEGATIVES:
Location
Unprofessional
Examples:
One of the interviewers made it known that internal candidates were also being interviewed and one of them happens to be a friend of his outside of work.
Another interviewer made it clear that everyone has worked their way up the ranks and that outside candidates are at a severe disadvantage.
Schedule changes. Some interviewers running late.
Unorganized
Examples:
Some interviewers were unaware of the schedule changes that took place and unsure where to direct you to next.
You interview with so many people many of which might not have correlation to your position however they each have their own perception of what your job is supposed to be. By the end of the day you have heard so many different opinions that you are completely confused about the position.
Inaccurate Interviewer Knowledge
Example:
I was asked a basic black/white technical question and provided an appropriate response. I was then asked if I was sure. I gave it some additional thought and replied with the same response. I was informed that that my answer was incorrect. After arriving back home from my trip I looked up the answer and had in fact been correct with my response.
Culture:
Everyone speaks of "culture" and I truly believe that culture can be an incredibly positive trait within an organization however in my experience it was spoken about to the point where I began to develop a negative perception about it especially when they spoke of new people from outside joining the company. It began to feel somewhat like a cult where outsiders are alienated and unwelcome.
