Included four hours of grilling by engineers, a two hour programming exam, and lunch with an engineering manager. The questions were quite difficult, and there's no breaks in the process. You are being grilled for seven hours straight.

Interviewed Mar 2010 in Cambridge, MA (took 3 weeks)
You must first submit a code sample from a previous project. I spent a long time on mine, others I know have simply picked one of the challenge puzzles from previous years and completed that in an afternoon. If one of the managers finds your application interesting, you will get a phone interview where they will describe the position and ask you about your experience.
The next round is in-person interviews, wherein I was interviewed by a few of the people in the group, talking about the project, how you might approach the problem, and the company culture. Then they give you a programming puzzle to solve there, as well as some time to talk over the problem and ask questions. Then you get cracking. Don't get too nervous, focus on getting a naive implementation done first and optimize when you are done. Your goal is to show them you know how to approach a programming problem.
They then ask for references. They got back to me two weeks after the interview.
