Interviewed Mar 2012 in Chicago, IL (took 2 weeks)
First had an on campus interview after meeting representatives for jump at our college career fair. Got invited to their office in Chicago for second round. The interview process was pretty smooth. It started with a tour and overview of the company. Had four interviews throughout the day and met with employes from the different departments. They accomodate hotel, and travel. Long day with four interviews. Lunch was delicious!

Interviewed Feb 2012 in Chicago, IL (took a day)
I was told the company is very selective. They only hire about 4 people a year!
1. Technical phone interview. I am most familiar with C/C++, so I got programming questions on C/C++
2. On-site interview. You are invited to Chicago, their headquarter. Then it took me about one day to finish the interview, including 3 rounds of technical questions.

Interviewed Nov 2009 in Chicago, IL (took a day)
First screening interview was on campus. This involved initial questions about my resume as well as two brain teasers. I wasn't able to actually completely solve either of them, but my thinking process was evidently sufficient for them to grant me an on-site in Chicago.
Booked a room, flew out and then went through ~4 hours of interviews. First one was with the founder; it went terribly. He just couldn't get over the fact that I'm changing careers and wouldn't let it go. I completely aced all of the rest of the interviews, which were extremely easy (literally things I did in HS): programming a circular buffer, various number theory ques, various probability ques.
Not suprisingly, acing the technical part didn't make up for the fact that the founder didn't like me! No offer.

Interviewed Oct 2009 in Chicago, IL (took a day)
The process was a tough on-campus interview followed by a 4 hour on-site interview. The questions were fairly difficult and focused on concurrency, mainly in C/C++. The questions were very technical with plenty of follow-up questions. Dinner afterword was very good!
