Interviewed Feb 2012 in Redlands, CA (took 3 weeks)
Had three interviews. Each repeated the same thing over and over (emphasizing on flat organization, campus of 2000 people, and that they're a software company). If it was a flat organization, why did I interview with five levels of management? Because I interviewed with them separately, I had to repeat my background over and over. Also, HR kept asking me how many people work at my current job because she wanted ESRI to sound superior (???) with 2000 employees at that location.

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 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.

Interviewed Apr 2011 in San Bernardino, CA (took 3 days)
I applied for this position and was contacted about a week later.
1st call was a brief interview about my interest and background, lasted about 10 minutes.
2nd call (2 weeks later) was a technical interview that was general IT/developer related. This interview lasted about an hour and I was quizzed on everything from database/application development to networking.
3rd call (2 weeks later) was another technical interview that focused more on the ESRI suite of products and lasted about an hour. Unfortunately for me, the questions mostly touched on enterprise level deployments which I had limited experience with. Overall the process was as pleasant as tense hour long grilling session go.
The people there are extremely friendly and professional. I’m disappointed that after the series of interviews they declined to offer me the position.
NOTE: Beware the puzzle question at the end:)

Interviewed Apr 2011 in Redlands, CA (took 10 months)
This company is completely dysfunctional. I talked to the recruiter for 10 and half months before I finally spoke with a hiring manager. The company considered three other candidates before me, but those candidates got tired of waiting and walked.
Interview Questions
Reason for Declining
As I mentioned, Esri is one dysfunctional company. In this role, the hiring manager should have been a peer. Instead of hiring the best person for the job or changing the requirements, she weeded out candidates whose skills and experience were stronger than her own so as to make herself look like a "superior" (the recruiter so much as implied this to me in confidence).
It took more than 10 months to finally get on this manager's calendar. I was able to secure the interview by dumbing myself down; but, when the time came to talk about money, I backed out. The money would have been fine, but I just couldn't see myself wasting my talents with such a screwed-up company.
The lunatics have taken over the asylum. (Mr. Dangermond, are you paying attention?)

Interviewed Aug 2010 in Redlands, CA (took 3 months)
About 1 week before the interview, I received a phone call from HR for a screening. I then received a follow up call from the hiring manager the very next day. There was additional interest on both sides, and I was contacted the following day for an interview about 1 1/2 week from that date. I was then interviewed by 10 people, most individually and one panel of 3 later in the day. The day started and ended with a small HR introduction, interview then closure. It was a grueling day, at best, but they were a warm bunch in a very unique environment. One that was something I think I'd enjoy. I was told I was the top candidate, but never officially received a "yes" or "no". After some time, I received additional job offers from other companies and never did hear back from ESRI. No closure, but all in all, it really seemed like a good, hearty place most would enjoy, regardless of winding up in a very different industry in another job. Oh well!
