Interviewed Jun 2011 in Troy, MI (took a day)
Recieved a phone call from hr to set up interview, told there would be an interview and a basic skills test. On interview day I arrived to find it was actually 3 different interviews each with two different hiring managers/ directors. Everyone was very relaxed and friendly. I was given a chance to discuss past experiences and skills without being interrogated.
After the interview I was given a basic skills test which consisted of simple math and proof reading exercises.
The entire process took about three hours. After this process it took nearly a month to hear from hr and receive an offer.
Other Details
I got the interview through an Employee Referral and the interview consisted of a Group/Panel Interview and a Skills Test.

easy conversation and basic skills exam. The interview process was fair and not that difficult. I would recommend looking over the website and understanding the different research practices that this company uses.

Interviewed Jan 2010 in Westlake Village, CA (took a day)
I was interviewed by a number of project teams, as well as extensively by the project team that I was going to be working with. Overall it seemed as though they were trying to get more of an idea of my personality than trying to see what skills I brought to the table. The people were all very friendly and laid back, but didn't seem enthusiastic about the company.

Interviewed May 2011 (took 2 months)
This interview process was exhausting. I had one-on-one interviews with 7 different people (each one was at least 45 minutes in length, most were an hour), and two of them included out-of-office lunches held on separate days. All this, PLUS the initial HR phone interview/screening. PLUS, an initial phone interview with my potential manager. PLUS, a skills test that was labeled "Homework Assignment" that took at least a half day to complete. The culture at the Woodland Hills Office is very corporate, perhaps even more so than I was expecting.

Interviewed Apr 2010 in Westlake Village, CA (took a day)
Current employee referred me to the recruiter for the position I interviewed for. Recruiter called to schedule the interview with the research manager and director. Went into interview first with recruiter then the hiring manager, did not end up meeting with the director. Interview seemed to go very well, they were impressed by my background but I heard early the following day that they went with an internal candidate who had already formed a relationship with the client team. I was told the starting salary for this position was about $54k/year.

Interviewed Jul 2010 in Troy, MI (took 1+ week)
Calm interviewing process - you do not feel like you're being interrogated,,,, you feel more like you are just having a discussion about what your work history and experience is. Don't get me wrong, it's definitely a professional environment - it's just less emphasis on talking about all the "fluff".

They aren't always able to match vacation days "on paper" but often times you can work out an agreement with the hiring manager.

Interviewed Feb 2010 (took a day)
Three engineers interviewed me. They tested me general concept of OOP and asked me some questions on my resume. For each person, he gave me one coding problem and let me code on blackboard. It is not difficult but checking input is very input. Robust program is what they need.

Interviewed Jul 2008 (took 2+ weeks)
Minimal interview required: Phone screen with HR (only covered how much you expect to make in order to make sure your salary expectations are not too high) followed by meeting with direct manager and then their boss. Ridiculous process in which the hiring supervisor asks one gag question per candidate to "break up the monotony of interviewing people". Examples include, "If you were a sandwich, what kind of sandwich would you be?" and "What woodland creature do you feel you most relate to?" Fairly humiliating experience for an earnest job-seeker. This interview is a big red flag for the socially awkward environment you are about to enter if you accept their offer...

Aim low if you really want a job. You will certainly not be offered more than market (if that.)
