Interviewed Dec 2011 (took 4+ weeks)
The interviews were days and weeks apart. In this market that is dangerous, and certainly indicates a lack of drive and commitment to such a process-or at least organizational issues. Culture appears sterile and lacking in innovation. Dull office atmosphere. Several comments and attitudes indicated that people are not happy working here after the acquisition.

Interviewed Jul 2011 in Seattle, WA (took 1 week)
The process started with a phone call with a recruiter who was extremely nice and energetic about the company with a lot of information. Next was a phone interview which consisted of discussing a technical question and then coding a solution online. After that was an onsite interview process of 6 one on one interviews with various questions and coding solutions on the whiteboard. Everyone I met with was very nice, extremely smart, and loved working on and solving hard technical problems.

Interviewed Jun 2010 in New Brighton, MN (took 2 weeks)
The process was straight forward. I met first with the CIO and then department managers, which would have been my peers. The interview went really well. The CIO determined they were not ready for the big change he was taking them to, so they decided to not fill the job at this time.

Interviewed Aug 2008 (took a day)
Before I met with any of the hiring managers, I had a sit down with their HR Manager. This was an unpleasant experience. She asked if she could call me former manager off my list of references, but I said now wouldn't be appropriate since he was on his Honeymoon...she wanted his cell phone number. I said no way. She gave me pretty good flak for that. Oh, and I was asked what my current salary is, I said I'd prefer not. I said I can give you a salary range, but she wanted a whole number. Everyone else was nice, but if you have an interview over there, be wary of this women.
