Interviewed Aug 2011 in San Mateo, CA (took 5 days)
Someone from corporate called and we scheduled a phone interview for the next day. They asked me to study the company and website in preparation. The next day, they called exactly at the time appointed and drilled me with normal resume and past experience questions. They then proceeded with questions about the company, such as why us and what do you know about our program. However, I was caught off guard when they asked about who their direct competitors are. I didn't know the answer and the interview ended shortly after that. They said they would give me a response within a week or two, but I wasn't anticipating anything further. A couple days later, they sent an email saying I wasn't what they were looking for.

Interviewed Sep 2010 in Norwalk, CT (took 2 days)
The company looks for someone that would be a great fit with the culture. They convey the message that personality is something that can not be taught but skills can always be learned. There are a number of interviews but all of hem assess fit with the company and interest within the specific job type.

Got a very good feeling while giving the interview. People were very nice and comfortable to speak to. Questions were more of think type rather than abstract syntax type.

Interviewed Jun 2011 in Norwalk, CT (took 2 days)
The interview process was made up of 7 different sessions and took almost a whole day. Starting at 9:00am and finishing around 3:30pm. Each group seemed to have a direct purpose. The first was to get to know me and inform me of the position and it's requirements. The second was a one on one with the hiring manager, an opportunity to share ideas and thoughts about the position and my resume. The third and fourth were skills test. Not very hard, but it certainly will make sure you know what your talking about. Lunch came afterwards and I was taken to a nice place with two others. I think the lunch portion of the interview is important, it allows them to put an individual in a more relaxed environment and speak more freely. After lunch came another test...more problem solving than anything, certainly more difficult too. The last two people I spoke with more senior management and were easy to talk with and had a more conversation like vibe than an interview.
The process is long and a bit overwhelming at times. I met 10 different people through out the process. I was made an offer the next day.

Begin with a phone interview with someone in HR, followed up with a day of interviews with hiring managers. Met with two of the managers and two other employees, it seemed clear which were more important. The interviews concluded with a lunch with two more employees, both of whom were consultants.
