Interviewed Dec 2011 in Lexington, KY (took a day)
Very intense interview from a technical perspective. They asked numerous detailed questions regarding some pretty esoteric info about C++. Thing was, I don't think there was ever a job to be had. They wouldn't pay for my travel expenses!

Phone interview consists of 2 algorithms. Both were easy but slightly tricky too. First was, to find the
maximum sum sub-array in an array. Second was to find loop in a linked list. Then, face to face
interview covered the my previous projects discussion and couple of easy C codes.

Interviewed Feb 2010 (took a day)
Got a call from the team manager. They said they didn't have any position available currently but the interview did continue. Was asked about concepts of OOP, basically Java. Since I had web development experience, I was asked questions from PHP, JavaScript, MySQL. Nothing in detail. All general overview question
Didn't hear back after the interview. When contacted they, the recruiting manager said they will respond as soon as they have new openings.
