Interviewed May 2010 in Palo Alto, CA (took a day)
I was referred to the position through a mutual colleague who recommended me. I had a phone interview with the hiring manager and the corporate director about 2.5 weeks later. The hiring manager mostly described the job while the corporate director asked technical questions (rather like a pop quiz). They said they would let me know within two weeks if they would fly me out. Three weeks later, they called me to schedule an interview for two weeks after that. The interview was with 7 different people for at least 45 minutes each (including during lunch). Most interviewers asked very similar questions (printed handouts from HR), all of them requiring an example. ("Describe a time where you showed common sense", "Describe a time when you didn't get along with a co-worker"). A lot of the questions related to how you worked in a team. They said they would get back to me within 2.5 weeks, but in reality it was over four despite emailing them several times to see if there was a new time frame. The interviewers were all nice, positive about their company and its non-hierarchical structure, and seemed genuinely enthusiastic about their company and their work. Overall a positive experience, but they were consistently late with their deadlines, often hard to reach, and it took over 6 weeks to get reimbursed for travel expenses that I was not informed before the trip I would have to pay (ie, car rental & baggage fees).

Interviewed Feb 2010 in Palo Alto, CA (took 2+ weeks)
I applied online and got a call from the hiring manager in 2 weeks. I was then invited for a quick personal meeting with 3 more persons along with lab tour. It was all technical. Thereafter I was invited for 1 day interview. The hiring manager behaved very nicely and also the HR. Expect questions in between the seminar presentation. Some questions were really difficult and some of the people were little harsh in putting those. Also, during my personal interview with persons in the panel, one of the persons was very cocky. Mixed questions both technical and behavioral questions. At the end of the day, I was informed that I will be called in 3 weeks to let me know the outcome. I didnt get the job, but it was a very good experience. Except for few people in the interview panel, rest of them very really good, kind and helped things go smoothly.
