Interviewed Oct 2011 in Melbourne, FL (took a day)
Interview was very straight forward. I got interviewed for the healthcare division (a growing one over there). Consisted with basically the same interview questions from a sheet. You get two of the programmers, one 2nd to the head, then the director.
I believe I messed up the last one with the director, because he asked something different the other three didn't.

Interviewed Apr 2011 in Melbourne, FL (took a day)
I was trying to score an internship for the summer between my junior and senior year of college. I briefly talked with a campus recruiter and gave him my resume. About a week later I was informed that they were interested in doing a preliminary phone interview. We set up a date and time, and a few days later I got a call from a hiring manager.
We walked through my resume and he asked me what languages I was strongest in, and which classes I had the most trouble with. It was a very simple, non-technical interview. I was confident that it went well, and I received a call about a week later with an offer for the summer which I ended up accepting.

Interviewed Jun 2011 in Northridge, CA (took 2 weeks)
The interview questions are very simple, just some basic OOP and C++ concepts. Also asked for socket programming, GUI experience. Not hard, but they don't like to reply for the follow-up after interview.

Interviewed Dec 2009 in Melbourne, FL (took 5 days)
I went to the university's career fair and spoke to some people from Harris. They seemed like good people but I don't remember specifically applying with them. I don't remember getting a phone interview so they must have called me directly to Melbourne. They were very polite and the schedule was very flexible. On the before day of the interview, they put me in a nice suite. The actual interview was done by several people (4+) sequentially in 45 minute blocks (like Google). The questions they asked were mostly personality-based questions and previous experience questions (unlike Google). I have the feeling they care a lot more about the type of person they are going to work with rather than how technical they are. In any case, it was a long day but the offer was extended within the week, which means they worked fast.

Interviewed May 2009 (took a day)
The interview process consisted of a phone interview, followed by a 1:1 interview with a collection of different people within the engineering department. An excellent company with excellent beenefits, the offer was declined because of my wife's employment status, but, suffice to say, it would have been a good move. This seems like a good company to work for.
