Interviewed Oct 2011 in New York, NY (took a day)
I e-mailed in my resume with a cover letter explaining why I wanted to work at Fog Creek. An automated response told me they'd connect me. A day later I got an e-mail to schedule an interview with coding. I heard back two days later with rejection.
I was applying because I thought I could reach the level they wanted by the end of the year (I have 2 years experience with coding but only a month with C++) so it surprised me when they said they wanted to interview now, but the questions were easier (I imagine absolute softball questions for anyone with more experience) than I thought they should have been.

Interviewed Nov 2009 (took a day)
I emailed my application. I got a response from a robot asking for more details. Eventually, I heard back about a phone interview. The technical question was about data structures for a text editor. I gave an answer about using some linked structure with arrays. I heard back a while later with a rejection.

Interviewed Nov 2009 in New York, NY (took a day)
I applied via e-mail. I got an automated confirmation immediately which asked me to confirm some basic information (location, GPA, phone number). About three weeks later I got an e-mail about setting up a phone interview. The phone interview happened three days later and took about an hour. It was a one-on-one discussion with a current software developer (and former intern).
I heard back two days later.
