Interviewed Jul 2011 in Austin, TX (took 6 weeks)
I applied online and was invited to interview with the hiring manager and an HR rep.
The hiring manager was cold and distant from the beginning and didn't give me much of a chance to explain my relevant experience or my ideas for the company. The HR rep only seemed to have one mindset: skepticism.
I did the recommended follow-ups: thank you messages, inquiries for the next steps, etc, but it still took several weeks to hear a definitive answer and by then I had become frustrated with the lack of communication and eventually disinterested in working for them.
As far as work culture, seemed like a very conservative company, didn't have an "Austin" vibe to it.

Interviewed Dec 2011 in Montgomeryville, PA (took 1+ week)
I meet with one of the managers in the department I would work in. The staffing agency had not prepared me very well and the first few minutes were spent clarifying what the job was that I was interviewing for. otherwise it was fairly painless and we spoke mostly in generalities and about the business culture of Gemalto and Lean Management.
Interview Questions
Reason for Declining
Could not start when they wanted.
Too far drive, for a temporary position and too little compensation.
Other Details
I got the interview through a Staffing Agency and the interview consisted of a 1:1 Interview.

Interviewed Jun 2010 (took 2 days)
I've had three interviews with four people. The first one was a technical interview. I was asked about my previous projects and my technical background. It was mostly about the protocols, languages and tools that I am familiar with. The second interview was an HR-type interview. You know, the usual "Why should we hire you?" type of questions. The last was a phone interview with the team leader and the head of R&D. It was basically to make sure that I understood the position and if I would like to go trough with the hiring process.

Interviewed Oct 2008 in Singapore (Singapore) (took a day)
Very fast decision. I had a written test on day 1, for about 1 hour. Later that day, I got a call for interview the next day. First interview was about technical skills, standard for my position, and next was interview with HR. Nothing really different from what I read elsewhere. Later that day, the HR guy said I was accepted and gave me the letter of intent.
