Interviewed Jan 2012 in Solana Beach, CA (took a day)
The interview process at Kit Digital was pretty cool.
I was contacted via StackOverflow I saw the kind of developer they were wanting, I want to be that kind of developer.
I take to interviews by phone, one by HR and another by the Front End Senior developer leader, then I took the 1:1 in a whiteboard (javascript, css, html).
It was a tab window, loading content with ajax.
It was amazing because at that time I truly believe that I knew CSS and the interview show me that I was not even a junior css developer, they told me that I was very good with my core javascript was very good by my lack of css knowledge let me out of the position.
After that I studied a lot of CSS 2.1 and now I'm starting CSS 3, and my development process is faster because now I know how things happen with CSS (display, position, margins etc).
Other Details
I applied In-Person and the interview consisted of a Phone Interview and a 1:1 Interview.

Interviewed Nov 2011 (took 3 days)
The interview was with a senior architect that seemed more impressed with himself than actually giving information about the available position, the company, and seeing if I would be a good fit for the opening. He explained his role, and the size of the company, their client, and then went into an hour long question series that consisted of questions more appropriate for interviewing a Computer Science Professor rather than a Software Engineer. For a company so large, it made no sense to ask a developer architectural verbiage that will NEVER be applied to the tasks that would be assigned to them. All the questions could've easily been Googled, and didn't prove anything that makes a developer great. I would've much rather been given a code assignment to display my coding abilities, rather than having to answer questions such as, "What makes Java a unique Object Oriented language?" and "What language does Java compile to?" and "In what year was Java created and the name of the language?"...The interview was very insulting, and afterwards, I told the recruiter that I wasn't even interested in the results. Thirty minutes into the interview, I just wanted the guy to stop talking and if I had to work for him, then I knew I wouldn't want the job at all, regardless of the tasks given.

Reason for Declining
I did not want to work for someone so haughty. The interviewer did NOT represent the company very well. And anyone with that kind of cocky attitude should never do interviews. It's not just about choosing someone to fit the position. They must realize that people have many offers to chose from, and a company has part of a responsibility of selling themselves to the interviewer as well.
Other Details
I got the interview through a Recruiter and the interview consisted of a Phone Interview.
