Interviewed Feb 2010 (took a day)
There was an initial phone screen. I was invited to the site for an interview. The interview was about 8 hours and included one-on-one meetings and small panel interviews. I gave a talk on some of my former work.
This organization is interested in top flight technical skills, but equally desires strong communication and collaboration skills. If you are an individual contributor, don't apply.

Interviewed Aug 2010 (took 3 weeks)
I had two on-site interviews with all the lab members that are in the project I am going to involve to, and one other final interview with a professor from the university. They describe all the main task they want me to accomplish and some future goals. It was a good experience.
