Interviewed Mar 2012 in Phoenix, AZ (took 1+ week)
The HR representative conducted the initial interview she seemed very pleasant but unsure of herself. It was very brief and only lasted about 10 minutes. The next round was to interview with the Director, he was an older man who kept interrupting me. The next gal that walked in for the interview was wearing a short skirt and had her chest exposed then two weeks later I found out she got the job, silly me for dressing professionally.
Other Details
I applied In-Person and the interview consisted of a Phone Interview and a 1:1 Interview.

Interviewed Jun 2010 (took a day)
I walked in the building for my interview and immediately wanted to walk out! It is a huge open building with about 1000 cubicles and people with head phones. I went for it anyway because the salary was promising but after working for a few days I felt mislead about the description of the job. The interviewers were "managers" but they are really just glorified academic counselors who do not know much more than a counselor. They were pretty nice and really hyped the job but I think they knew how truly depressing the job really was. My advice for the interview: don't even bother going unless you have an extremely high tolerance for people yelling at you all day for giving them "incorrect" information... but that information came from managers, directors and CEO's. Also, if you are OK with policies and procedures changing every few days.

Interviewed Feb 2011 in Tempe, AZ (took 4 weeks)
I applied for two different positions online. I first had a phone interview for the EC position and was asked to come in for a 1:1 in-person interview. It was the standard interview questions like strengths/weaknesses and describing situations in previous positions that would help at this job. I didn't hear back from them and tried emailing a couple times but didn't get a response. Then, I got another call asking to set up another phone interview for the other position I interviewed for. After completing almost the same interview in person for the other position I received two emails saying that I didn't get either position.

Interviewed Jun 2010 (took 2 weeks)
I applied online and heard back from the recruiter within 2 weeks. I first had a phone interview, which included very basic questions about my knowledge of the position. The interview lasted around 5 minutes. I was then asked to schedule an intervierw, which I did for the following day. I interviewed with a VP and a finance manager, where I was asked very basic interview questions. I left the interview and was offered the position within 24 hours.
