Interviewed Mar 2010 (took 2 days)
The people are very friendly and helpful. The first and second round phone interviews are easy, only a few algorithm questions. The final interview with the manager is a little tough.

Interviewed Oct 2011 (took a day)
The interviewer first asked questions about my background and resume, then the technical questions. A few minutes were left at the end for me to ask any questions. The interviewer seems pretty engaged and interested the whole time, overall a positive experience.

Interviewed Sep 2008 (took 4+ weeks)
I had a strange interview experience - the first interview was very straightforward, coding/algorithms questions. I really clicked with the interviewer, he asked me what my favorite course was was and it turned out he used to teach a version of that course - I'm sure that didn't hurt. The second interview was a videoconference with the leader of the team that I ended up getting placed on - he mostly told me about the project and really didn't ask me much of anything at all. I'm really not sure how they decided I was qualified for the position.
