Interviewed Feb 2011 in Boston, MA (took 2 weeks)
A few former co-workers worked for the company. They had mentioned the great atmosphere and recommended I look into working with them again. I wasn't quite ready to make a leap. A few months later, I posted my resume on Monster to get some feelers out. Between the HR department and one of my former co-workers, they found my resume. I had a phone interview and was moved on to the next phase. I interviewed with about 4 employees (including the CEO and VP of Operations). The interview took a few hours. A few days passed and I received an email indicating interest.

Interviewed Jun 2011 in Boston, MA (took a day)
I applied for the position online, and was contacted by a representative from HR to schedule a phone interview. For the first part of the interview, I spoke with the rep from HR about the company structure, background (they were recently acquired by a large Japanese company). There were no questions - it was an informational discussion.
I then talked with a development manager, and we discussed their technology platforms, my work history, and career goals. The phone screen was more of a basic technical screen, but seemed to be more of a test to see if I could fulfill a particular role opening up in the company and to make sure I would fit in with the company culture.
After the phone screen I received a rather difficult development exercise that took about a week to complete (working on it casually while still working full time). The exercise touched on advanced OOP PHP, database, and web services concepts.
Upon acceptance of my exercise, I set up an in-person interview. The in-person interview is a rotating panel. Several employees come in individually to ask questions. Most ask you to create small functions and algorithms to solve particular problems. Many questions were more about my work history, and to see if I would fit in. There were ample opportunities to ask questions about the company and the culture, and the employees were very forthcoming with answers. Afterwards I took a tour of their office, which was pretty new. They have a ton of free drinks, snacks, and have catered lunch every week. Sold!

Interviewed Jun 2011 (took 1 week)
Interview was very smooth, both over phone and one on on. People were very communicative and open to explain company culture. There were some challenging questions, but very reasonable and nothing too difficult. Communication with company was very smooth, between emails and phone calls with HR to employees. Interviews were casual as well, conversational and not too demanding.

Interviewed Jun 2011 in Boston, MA (took 5 days)
Interview process was very informational, detailed and well structured. I talked with 4 individuals throughout the process and after my talks I had a strong understanding of the role, challenges and opportunities. Was able to get a good feel for the culture and was provided all the necessary benefit and compensation information needed to make an educated decision. The process moved quickly and I was very pleased with the constant communication from the company during the entire interview process.

Negotiation Details
The negotiation phase was handled respectfully. I was able to get a clear understanding from company what the entire compensation (salary, bonus, benefit) package was, and I was able to compare it with current compensation. After comparing both compensation packages, I was able to negotiate on certain items to my satisfaction. Overall a very good negotiation process that I was pleased with.
