Interviewed Mar 2012 in Dallas, TX (took 2 weeks)
I did two phone interviews and one on-site interview at their headquarters in Dallas. The phone interviews were more biased towards past experience than technical prowess. The on-site interview was similar and a very nice experience overall. Spoke with many people across many different levels of the firm.
The people I interviewed with were very nice and very kind about my concerns with potentially moving to Dallas. The office and work culture are excellent (casual and god-awfully spacious) as are the workplace perks (big cafeteria, gym in the building, etc.)

Interviewed Mar 2010 in Dallas, TX (took a day)
I spoke to several managers about my skill set at my current employer and how I believed I had a lot of crossover relevant experience. I had positive feedback from HBK but in the end their timing and mine to switch jobs was not the same so we parted.

Interviewed Jun 2008 (took 2 weeks)
First, phone interview with hiring manager. Discussed role/fit/etc. Very good conversation in all respects.
Programming test, at home, but with a time limit (needed to send solution via email by specific deadline). Very good question/exercise.
In person interview - met with hr rep, techie (good questions if they were asked correctly), tech lead (very good tech & personality fit questions/discussion), non-hiring manager (quick, good overview of firm/teams, good questions/discussion), hiring manager (very good questions/discussion). All were very professional, pleasant, very sharp.
The recruiter freaked out and never made it to offer.

Interviewed Jan 2007 in Dallas, TX (took 4+ weeks)
I found out about this opportunity at a local job fair. I submitted my resume at the job fair and the HR came back with an invitation to office visit. I had to meet with various people on the day and drilled programming algorithm and data structure questions. In the end I was asked to do a programming problem. That's it. One week later I got an offer.
