Interviewed Aug 2011 in Santa Clara, CA (took 3 days)
The interview process was great. It was laid out to me in such a way that I knew what to expect from a timeline perspective for both interviews and when to hear back about the hiring decision. All questions that I had were answered honestly and up-front, and they responded to me quickly when I wanted an updated.

Interviewed Jun 2011 in Santa Clara, CA (took a day)
I really enjoyed talking to the recruiter. They were professional, asked the right questions, and made me feel comfortable throughout the phone interview. It went very well as I answered the questions correctly, and they told me she would contact me regarding next steps. However, once they contacted the hiring manager, the hiring manager did not want to even talk to me because I have been out of work for 2 years. I believe this is an unfair advantage because like I said, I answered the questions, was very professional, and was just as experienced as the next candidate. I highly recommend companies not to do this There are a lot of talented people out there who have kept up their contacts and experiences, yet they can't catch a break! Please give the unemployed a chance!!! The recruiter said they would get back in touch, but I never heard back.

Interviewed Oct 2010 in Slough, Berkshire, South East England, England (United Kingdom) (took 2 days)
Contacted first by HDS HR Manager, followed by a friendly first interview at Gerrard's Cross site with the hiring manager. Second interview with Sales VP again went well, unfortunately, I have waitied many weeks without hearing anything further even following a polite email requesting if there had been any progress.
Very disappointed in this approach, when you consider the time and effort interviewees go to, it would seem a small ask to get a response even if it is thanks but no thanks. I consider this a lucky escape.
I would warn future applicants to beware this unprofessional approach.

Interviewed May 2010 in Waltham, MA (took 2 months)
A incredibly detailed interviews from all aspects of engineering organization. Solution architecture group reports to engineering. I've met with rank and file engineers and high level managers. Day interviews, night interviews, group interviews, lunch interviews, all of them. The culture is great within engineering, but apparently engineering is quite disconnected from other organization.
Interview Questions
Reason for Declining
Very difficult to succeed in a sales job when such disconnect exits between sales and marketing and my technical sales-oriented job.
Other Details
I got the interview through an Employee Referral and the interview consisted of a Phone Interview, a 1:1 Interview, a Group/Panel Interview, a Presentation and a Skills Test.
