Interviewed Apr 2012 in Bellevue, WA (took 2 weeks)
First I got a call from Sr Recruiter for phone screening. First interview is HR type containing some behavioral questions and description about position. For the second round I got pair of question and she told me to code them and return back within 45 min. Third round was with Sr Developer. That was mostly related to scalability question. I got rejection after third round.

Interviewed Feb 2011 in Bellevue, WA (took 2 weeks)
Phone Interview with a Project Manager where I was asked a coding question and a design question (don't remember what the questions were). I passed the phone interview and they flow me out to their HQ (all expenses paid for).
5 rounds of interviews starting at 9am.
Round 1: I thought I botched this interview because I was asked several questions on C, Java and Python (advantages and disadvantages of each language). I was then asked one coding question on a modified queue data structure where one class is only responsible for insertion and another for removal of data.
Round 2: We talked about one of my projects for the entire duration of the interview. The interviewer was completely fascinated with my project and asked me to map out the system flow on the whiteboard.
Round 3: 3 coding questions involving Texas-Hold Em: write a method to find a pair, three cards, and a straight.
Round 4: Team manager lunch interview. Just chatted the whole time. Very relaxed experience.
Round 5: Rotated binary search question (if you look through the interview questions on this site, someone else may have posted this question), and a design question for a parking garage.

Interviewed Oct 2007 in Bellevue, WA (took 3 days)
I went to my university's career fair and spoke with the recruiter there. I got a call from the recruiter that night, and scheduled an interview with him the next day. From that interview, I began speaking with an Expedia recruiter to schedule an in-person interview loop in the Expedia building in Bellevue.
I had a 4 person interview loop, all consisting of technical interviews with lots of problem-solving on a whiteboard. Then at the end I had a wrap-up with my recruiter, Katy.
