Interviewed Sep 2009 in Emeryville, CA (took 3 weeks)
Phone screen was standard in terms of discussing background and experience. Had a good rapport with the interviewer (director of engineering), and it seemed like what they wanted to do was a good fit for what I was looking for. The onsite interview consisted of several hour-long 1:1 or 2:1 interviews, mostly focusing on practical problem solving, logic puzzles, and Java programming skills.

Interviewed May 2011 in Emeryville, CA (took 3 days)
Spoke with three people on the phone: HR/recruiter, then the VP of development, and last the Director of the software team, who would be the manager for this role. The VP was fairly technical and asked good questions about my previous experience programming in C# and .NET for Windows applications. I was told the Director would be a tough C# interview so I took extra time to study past C# projects, re-read certain books, etc. I expected to get peppered with all kinds of C#/.Net/Windows questions but instead got asked about how I would process a huge multi-GB XML file into a database. I didn't answer this at all to his satisfaction. Despite saying that the recruiter would get back to me, they never did.

Interviewed Mar 2010 in Emeryville, CA (took 1 week)
a typical phone interview conducted, followed by a face-to-face interview following week or so (maybe 1.5weeks?) with 3 people, including 2 colleagues and one HR rep, all individually. all very nice and friendly, HR was very informative about benefits etc. unfortunately, didn't get the job but was very nice to actually call me (rather than nothing or template email) to let me know they've decided to move on with a different candidate.
