Interviewed May 2010 in San Diego, CA (took a day)
The interview process for me was actually very short. I received a phone call from my eventual manager, spoke more about the process of being hired than about the position. He told me what I would be paid if I got the position, and when I confirmed I was interested, he said he would arrange a call with someone from the team.
Later, I received a call from someone on the design team. We chatted for about 10 minutes, and mostly it was him telling me about the job. I can't recall that any questions were even asked, but I was offered the job after the phone call.

Interviewed Nov 2011 in Houston, TX (took 2 days)
The first round composed of simple experience/personality questions. The second round is a lot more comprehensive with similar type questions. The second round takes a day, and the first round takes about 45 minutes. If the company is interested, you should be hearing back in a week.

Interviewed Feb 2012 in Conway, AR (took 4 weeks)
Intense and complex interview process for a position that was eventually cancelled by the company.
After submitting online, I received a call 4-5 days later from the assistant to the hiring manager to set up a phone interview.
First phone interview with the assistant - 30 minutes - mostly about confirming I had the required skills, experience, and education.
She called back 2 days later to set up two additional phone interviews; one peer interview 2 manager and 1 with the hiring manager.
Both interviews happened the same day. Peer manager interview was 45 minutes; mostly behavior interview questions. Hiring manager interview was about 60 minutes; mostly fit questions.
Despite thank you notes, calls, and repeated emails, I heard nothing back for about a month, when I got a called email from HR, informing me that due to business conditions, the job had been cancelled.

Interviewed Feb 2012 in Roseville, CA (took 1 week)
I applied online through the website and got a call back within 1-2 weeks. After the initial screening, I was set up with a technical interview that was around 45 minutes long. There was a lot of questions regarding my past projects as well as material I learned in my coursework. Although the position was entry level, it felt like the constant barrage of questions required a more seasoned engineer or at least someone with some internship experience. Everything on your resume is fair game, so make sure you know the ins and outs of each thing you put on there. The interviewer will dig like there's no tomorrow...

It was an internal job positing.It was a easy interview and my prior experience in managing a virtual team and program managing a process was very helpful. I explained how what value I brought to the last job and what I could do for the new one. Since other people in the company have positive feedback since I have always taken had good professional relationships with my stakeholders.

Interviewed Mar 2011 (took a day)
My interview was set up by a friend sister who worked at the company and was made aware of an opening in one of the sales regions. The interview consisted of a recruiter and a manager for one of the sales divisions. It was a fairly straight forward interview. Since I was a new graduate, they wanted me to provide a sales pitch and convince them they need to purchase what I was pitching.
