Interviewed Aug 2010 in Sydney (Australia) (took a day)
I had an initial informal meeting with the hiring manager, who then asked me back for a formal interview with his manager.
After this, I then had to take an apptitude test and some written response questions asking how I would deal with certain circumstances, eg, project issues, missed deadlines etc.
From first contact to receiving an offer was about 4 weeks, then I started at the company 4 weeks after that.

Interviewed Mar 2011 in Alpharetta, GA (took 5 days)
Interviewed with three people. Spoke to the hiring manager first and had most get to know each other type interview. There was not much technical detail involved in this round of interviews Manager was new to role so another interview was setup with a manager of closely related group for technical interview. Interview was conversational type with technical questions sprinkled throughout. All in all pretty laid back. Spoke with the Director of the team next and was mostly about expectations of the role, etc

Interviewed Feb 2010 in Columbus, OH (took 4+ weeks)
The interview process was based on a mock sales presentation and a review of my skill sets and experience. I felt it was a fair interview. I made it down to the last two candidates, but didn't get the job. A younger, less experienced ( and I'm assuming less expensive) candidate got the job.
